Hello all. I just wanted to provide a thread that those going to Shadyside this year can communicate on. All input is greatly appreciated of course, especially those who have done the program. Has anyone else received the letter letting them know th...

Hey there fellow classmates. I am in Group A as well. I am so excited! Anyway, I have not found the Lab manual for Anatomy either. Mcgraw Hill stated that thebook with the ISBN: 0077274350 is the same book that we need? I just want to make sure befo...

I would say to go for it and apply to Shadyside or Mercy for full time. Sometimes you'll be on a waiting list, so that is a good time to take some science courses and get them out of the way. I was put on the waiting list for Shadyside for Spring bec...

My advice to choosing between schools is to check the first time NCLEX pass rates for each. UPMC Shadyside is the highest in the city for the past 5 years at least, along with University of Pittsburgh. I would also get comfortable with where you are ...

Hey Abbey, My name is Kelly, and I remember you at orientation. I'm glad you found the site, it is extremely helpful!! Good luck with all of your compliance requirements. See ya soon!

Keep your chin up those of you not in the spring "10" class. I was in the same boat as you for the fall 2009 class and I am now in the spring class. It does bum you out because you want to go so bad, but it just makes it that much better when you get...

You might want to email or call Natalie as soon as possible. Don't feel as if you are bothering them because your persistence is something they should respect. She will get back to you and let you know the status of everything. She got back to me wit...

Hi KBM. I would definitely send the transcripts even if your classes don't transfer. I originally applied for the fall and didn't send my transcripts because I thought the same thing. Well, the fall class ended up being full and so I am considered fo...

KBM, If you email Natalie Borkowski at the admission office, she will tell you the classes that transfer. I would definitely make sure of this before registering, you don't want to waste any money or time on classes! She was very helpful for me and I...

I am currently choosing the right nursing school to get into and I am wondering about UPMC Mercy. Could anyone let me know if they have gone through the program and what details I should consider about it? Thank you.

I will be with you in the Spring. I agree, any info is appreciated.

Thanks for the info. I have registered for the Nutrition and Diversity Health and illness online. I am taking Logic at a campus. Diversity doesn't transfer? I'm going to have to email Natalie about that. Thanks again. I may want to buy your book als...

Did anyone take classes at CCAC and transfer them to Shadyside? Since I have to wait until Spring to go full time, being the class for fall was full, I'm taking classes at ccac to try to get them out of the way. Any input?

The new thead is UPMC Shadyside School of Nursing '09'. Check it out.

Hey Robot, I got the idea to start a new thread from you, thanks. I started one with just UPMC Shadyside in the title, but I figure this one will get more hits. I do agree. The last minute stuff is ridiculous!

Good point. I started a new thread (again) with "School of Nursing" in the title. Maybe that will make it easier for everyone.

Hello everyone. Thought I would start a new thread for all those UPMC Shadyside alumni and prospectives. Got the idea from someone on another thread for Shadyside that was very long. Did anyone else get the letter saying Shadyside is too full for t...

Hey Robot, I started a new thread titled "UPMC Shadyside '09'". I agree, this thread is great, however tooooo long. You may want to post on there and start fresh. Good idea.

Hello everyone. I just got a letter saying that the Fall 09 class for UPMC Shadyside is full, but that I would be admitted (or considered for admission) for the Spring '10' class. Just wanted to give you a heads up.

Thanks, Good luck to you! Let me know if you hear anything. I'll do the same.

Has anyone gotten their accptance letter for full time yet? I took my PSB in early February and had all my materials in by the end of March. I haven't heard anything but Natalie did say that I would hear back within two weeks from the beinning of Jun...

Has anyone heard anything back from UPMC Shadyside regarding admission for August 2009? I have sent in the materials and taken the PSB test in Feb with passing results and have yet to hear anything. I would like to know if anyone is on a waiting list...

Thanks for the info. I did send Natalie an email and she replied right back to me. I need to send in one more thing.

Thank you very much for the info. I have sent her a email already and I will call her tomorrow. Again, I appreciate the help. Good Luck in school!

When did you all send in your application for ft fall 09? I'm wondering how long it takes to get the letter of acceptance. Thanks.
