  1. UPMC Shadyside 2010 hopefuls

    kbm318 replied to kbm318's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I wish I could say yes but I can't, I'm still waiting to hear about my test results so I can send in my stuff. Best of luck though, I'm sure you will get in. Waiting is the part that sucks the most, I...

    kbm318 replied to Danyelle_SWPA's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Thanks for asking this question. I was also trying to figure out what the actual cost for the program is without the tuition forgiveness. I'm hoping that since I have most of my classes out of the way...

  8. BSN not worth it?

    kbm318 replied to nohika's topic in General Nursing

    kbm318 replied to kbm318's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Well, I took the PSB last Friday, but that's about as far as I've gotten since I can't send anything else in until I know if I have passed or not. However, I have started my essay and already have 2...

  11. Should the H1N1 Vaccine be mandatory for Healthcare Professionals?

    kbm318 replied to Brian's topic in Disaster Preparation

  14. UPMC Mercy vs. UPMC Shadyside

    kbm318 replied to Sharawnda's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    You don't really have to travel to get to the Sim lab at Shadyside other than walking out one door and in the other. I think it's much easier than having to drive to it from the campus. I am also...

  15. UPMC Mercy vs. UPMC Shadyside

    kbm318 replied to Sharawnda's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I attended the information meeting this past Sat. at Mercy and can say I honestly didn't care much for it. I felt as if their teaching style hasn't caught up with the 21st century. Plus I didn't like...

    kbm318 replied to Sharawnda's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing
