I am looking into possibly switching to the Weekend program at work. I currently work 36 hours a week (3 twelve's) with alternating weekends (Saturday and Sunday). I have only been an RN for 10 months now, but I have a 5 year old who is currently in ...

I'm excited about our upcoming orientation! I ant believe it's in two weeks from friday! I am interested to see the diversity of our class! I'm 29, so I know I'll probably be one of the older ones, lol!

there is nothing wrong with being a little neurotic when it comes to school! I did the same thing, and now I'll be starting in the fall, so I guess it didn't hurt!

Congrats!

Hi, I received my acceptance pack in the mail, and yes, the tuition DID go up. The new Tuition Frgiveness price is $12,800 for two years, so it would be $6400 a year, and then they have a break down per semester. They also have changed the qualificat...

Was it sent certified mail? I got a pink slip in my mailbox yesterday for a missed letter...I am assuming that is probably it.

Congratulations! Did you receive a letter in the mail, or a phone call? I guess I should look for something in my mail box...

I am really, really sorry for not responding earlier! I hope by now you have found out if you were accepted to Mercy or not! I didn't have to meet with them. I took the PSB in late November, and I received my acceptance letter in February, as they sa...

Also, there is a thread for Mercy Hospital School of Nursing.

If they are thinking about increasing the tuition for the Fall class, then how can we know what the Tuition will be, or if there will be Tuition Forgiveness at all? When I went to the information session in October, I was told that the student contri...

Hi Annie. I wanted to let you know that I created a Facebook page for Mercy SON class of 2012. Feel free to add it if you want, and tell anyone else you know that is starting this past Spring or upcoming Fall. Shadyside has alot of members, and I thi...

Wow, I had no idea that they were thinking about doing this! I applied for Spring, but got put on the waiting list for Fall 2010. I still haven't heard back from Shadyside either way. I was told in Oct. that the tuition would be $10,000 for the entir...

Wow, how did you already have those things done?

I am glad to see someone who is also starting at Mercy in the Fall! I applied to Shadyside and Mercy, and I made the decision to attend Mercy based on mamy personal factors. I know Shadyside is viewed as the better school, but I am sure I will receiv...

Hi, I didn't receive notice either way from Shadyside. I have decided to attend Mercy Hospital School of Nursing, anyhow. I start in August!

Well, I just received my acceptance letter to UPMC Mercy, and I am waiting to hear from UPMC Shadyside in March. I am leaning towards Mercy, simply for the fact that they are closer to my kids daycare, and cost half as much as Shadyside. It seems str...

Hallelujah! I just spoke to Natalie and I FINALLY got my test scores! I passed everything with flying colors! And I had my application ready to be mailed, so I just mailed it in at work! LOL:D Get ready to see me in the Fall!

Thank-you so much! I know eventually I will get in, so I am not too discouraged at all!

How did you get your results if you took the test the same day as I did? Just curious.

Thanks alot! Like I said, there are more than just us three that will be disappointed! Dozens of people taking the test last will now have to wait...Let's pray for Fall admission!

Well, maybe we'll see each other in the Fall! Best of luck and let us know when you do receive your results! Natalie said that she should have them by Friday...I will not bother her anymore until after Christmas, which is when she said she should hav...

Thanks alot! I'm not too bummed out about it...and I think things do happen for a reason, so maybe this will be for the best. I definitely will try to stay abreast of what's going on! Keep me posted:cool:

So I went down there today and spoke to Natalie. She informed me that the scores STILL are not in yet, but also that all of the spots have been filled. And they don't have a waitlist so to speak for March. Like if someone doesn't pass the blood testi...

I think I definitely will take it down there...they should provide an extension if the results aren't in by tomorrow. But everything is ready and I can get it to them faster than the mail. I just prefer mail because then the postal stamp is proof of ...

Results are STILL not in...I wonder if they extend the deadline for people who don't have their scores yet...I imagine they would have to, since that wouldn't be the fault of the applicant. I am going crazy over this! I have been calling and emailing...
