    audreyrasmusson replied to audreyrasmusson's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I would love to meet. The admission problems finally resolved and I'll be starting at the end of August. Even so, I would love a heads up and I might just buy some of those books and uniforms. You...

  2. UPMC Shadyside Application Delays

    audreyrasmusson posted a topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I took the PSB in October and did very well. However, by the time Shadyside sent me my results and then sent me the application packet, a total of 5 weeks had passed. I had to make a few phone calls...

  3. Anyone Starting At UPMC Shadyside School of Nursing?

    audreyrasmusson replied to ChristineN's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I got 99% on the math and I had a very hard time with math back in high school. It really never went beyond pre-Algebra and very, very basic geometry. Since there's no book out there geared strictly...

    audreyrasmusson replied to audreyrasmusson's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Thanks for your answer. Yes, I agree that more time to do science courses (having A & P out of the way would be wonderful!) could be a blessing in disguise. My plan is to wait until the end of...

    audreyrasmusson replied to ChristineN's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I already posted this on another Shadyside-related thread. However, I find this situation I am in sufficiently bizarre that I would like to know if others have had similar experiences applying to...

  8. How Competitive are Admissions UPMC Shadyside School of Nursing?

    audreyrasmusson replied to RomanGrace's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am in the process of applying to Shadyside. While I cannot answer your question in terms of Shadyside, I will say that people can overcome a bad period in their undergraduate education when...

  9. UPMC Shadyside School of Nursing '09'

    audreyrasmusson replied to kellyjo1414's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I am having a similar experience with Shadyside admissions now. I took the PSB on October 6 so I could apply to start in spring, 2011. Shadyside took three weeks (and a phone call from me) to get me...

  10. UPMC Shadyside Application Delays

    audreyrasmusson replied to audreyrasmusson's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I agree it might be just as well to have all the science courses out of the way. This could be a blessing in disguise. At the moment, I am disgusted with the way Shadyside has handled things-- if...

  12. Anyone Starting At UPMC Shadyside School of Nursing?

    audreyrasmusson replied to ChristineN's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I just took the PSB to apply for Spring, 2011. I think I'll have to retake the science section, however, so Fall, 2011 is more likely.

    Mochabean, Your posts are very useful. Thank you! I was considering applying to Shadyside, but some of their clinicals start at 6:00 a.m. I have a 12 y.o. and we have no other parent, no relatives...

    audreyrasmusson replied to ChristineN's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Thanks for the insight re applying and clearances. I have had to get them in the past so I could go on field trips with my daughter's school, and it seems like the PA ones are taking longer than they...

    I don't know anything about daycares close to Presby, but I can recommend the Tendercare on Center Ave a few blocks from Shadyside Hospital. T-care is a chain, but it's a small chain and seems to put...

    audreyrasmusson replied to ChristineN's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Thanks for that information. I'm applying to the daytime/full-time program. The recruiter at the nursing school told me that clinicals can start as early as 6:00 a.m. I assume they could go as late...
