  1. UPMC Mercy, Shadyside and St. Maragret MERGING???

    Probably just standardized prerequisites and curriculum...it would be interesting to see how the university partnerships worked out. I always found it odd that shadyside was paired up with Chatham, mercy with Carlow....and yet theyre a part of the ...
  2. Interesting idea that Diploma programs are a newer phenomenon. All 4/5 of the diploma programs in my city were founded 10-30 years before women were allowed to VOTE, let alone attending Bachelors degree granting institutions en masse so they don't "...
  3. UPMC Mercy, Shadyside and St. Maragret MERGING???

    Yeah l, Joanne made it sound like this was the last year under the current curriculum.
  4. UPMC Mercy, Shadyside and St. Maragret MERGING???

    Old thread, but I think this is happening too. I had a meeting with j. Vukotich at shadysidr a few weeks ago and she apologizedfor being so busy, but she was tied up rewritingthe schools curriculum. The psb testing is now all paid to mercy, and the...
  5. Washing those scrubs?

    Jeez, I washed my work uniform after each wear when I was WAITING TABLES, because of the extreme gross factor (handling half eaten food and drink that made contact with people's mouthes, silverwear, raw food). I can't even imagine washing scrubs les...
  6. Why would my friend request IV supplies?

    Has this friend of yours been on a big party weekend to like LA or vegas recently? In Vegas there's a thing called the "Hangover Heaven Truck" that will hook you up to a saline IV to kill your hangover...If so, maybe this is where he got the idea. I...
  7. CCAC Fall 2012 Applicants

    Anyone attending boyce that hasn't taken A&P yet? (slim chance I know) If so I've got the full set of necessary books. Willing to sell them way below used price.
  8. Why is it called "RN to BSN" - not "ADN to BSN"?

    Ignore this
  9. The "one thing"

    Oof, good topic. C-SECTION. Seriously freaks me out. The epidural... The blood (which typically doesn't bother me) combined with the sight of muscle and fat tissue, the gouging...coterizing... and the baby (all grey-ey and purpley), the spreader...
  10. Anatomy Flashcards: YES OR NO?

    Netter makes excellent flash cards. However useful, they weren't as useful for me in A&P as they were for my friends in PT or Chiropractic school. The ones I used turned out to have ENTIRELY TOO MUCH information on them (which is good and bad)....
  11. UPMC MERCY School of Nursing Class of '14

    They told us the same thing at shadyside, to buy the nursing course books, but renting the college course ones was ok / advisable.
  12. Hey all, I was just cpr certified (not the right one needed the one for health professionals). I'm going to do another one to get the right cert done. I was wondering, If any of my other soon to be Pittsburgh Nursing Students wanted to do the class...
  13. UPMC MERCY School of Nursing Class of '14

    **sidebar** The use of calculators is permitted during testing and will be provided by the school. People are allowed to use calculators during the PSB now. Does this totally **** off anyone other than me???
  14. New to Pittsburgh area

    Welcome to the area! How much time have you spent in Pittsburgh? Canonsburg is about 35 minutes outside of the city so theres "less" to do that in the city, but its still not too far away, all highway driving to the way there. As far as gyms go, th...
  15. Thanks, Commuter!

    /me claps loudly Always relevant, always interesting!!!
  16. Is it me? What happened to nursing?

    No disrespect taken, I was sleeping and typing poorly, lol. I meant to say: I dont want to sound like I'm disagreeing with the general idea of these posts, because I'm not disagreeing. I'm just pointing out that its not surprising why some peopl...
  17. UPMC MERCY School of Nursing Class of '14

    holy crap you have to have an ipod touch ????? Sounds stupid, I hope we don't need one for Shadyside. I'd go scour "The Exchange" My boyfriend just got one there for like 70 bucks. **edit** also I didn't forget about the CPR thing, the guy just came...
  18. Is it me? What happened to nursing?

    And what about all the people that dump thousands and thousands of dollars into health insurance whose payment STILL isn't guaranteed. Not to say I disagree here because I do, but its not hard to see why some people expect to be treated like royalty...
  19. Is it me? What happened to nursing?

    Ok first things first, I'm not in any way going to say I disagree with anything that anyone above me has said. Because I do 100%, but.... With the soaring, intentionally inflated costs of healthcare.... 10-20-100 thousand dollars for a stay in the...
  20. shadyside hospital school of nursing August 2012

    Actually I was told the opposite and did just fine not answering all the questions. I've been told that the test is not scored based on how many you get right or wrong, but how many you got right out of how many you answer. You need a raw score of ...
  21. shadyside hospital school of nursing August 2012

    hooray congrats WBE!
  22. Well, this is to be expected I guess. With all of our long held, awkward, puritanical beliefs about our bodies. I know many a woman that wont talk about reproductive or genital issues with their male pcp's.. but would get a brazillian wax from a co...

    not many of us eh?
  24. Prejudice Against Overweight Patients: An Issue To Ponder

    Because losing weight is not as easy as not drinking soda and not eating high fat foods. As I said before in my first post, if it were that easy, it wouldn't he such a problem.
  25. Prejudice Against Overweight Patients: An Issue To Ponder

    Really? Telling someone about the bad effects doesn't teach them.how to change it. How many 20 year olds know how to play kickball. Compare that number to how many know the difference between a protein and a carbohydrate...what a polyunsaturated fa...
