  1. WCCC or UPMC Mercy SON?

    jlpsu replied to jlpsu's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Oh..and one more question. How hard was the PSB entrance test? I'm studying for it now and the sciences have me freaked out. It's been 20 years since I've had Biology or Chemistry. The math and...

  2. WCCC or UPMC Mercy SON?

    jlpsu replied to jlpsu's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Thanks so much for the response! I don't exactly care where my BSN is from...in fact, I think I am going to go straight for the RN-MSN since I don't really care to have a THIRD BS degree! But I'm...

  3. What are your credentials and what's your IQ?

    jlpsu replied to Weber's topic in General Nursing

    Yikes...that alone is slightly scary. But if they had straightened out and learned their lesson and are ready to contribute to society I'd be ok with that (second chances and all that). But coupled...

  4. What are your credentials and what's your IQ?

    jlpsu replied to Weber's topic in General Nursing

    Really? This again? There is a whole other thread about the IQ of a BSN that the OP started. There are 30+ replies there...much like the replies here. So I'm wondering...are you not getting the...

  5. Which Healthcare fields ARE hiring?

    jlpsu replied to loveblossom's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure what level of education the OP is thinking of getting, but just to be clear with the recommendations above: SLP and OT require a masters degree at the minimum, and PT requires a...

  6. Anyone attending Mercy Hospital School of Nursing (Pittsburgh) in August 2011?

    jlpsu replied to aubie.mathews's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Hi everyone - Thanks so much for the information! That's great! I bought two PSB study guides that I am going through. On the pre-test (before studying anything) I scored 90% in verbal, spelling,...

  7. Which Healthcare fields ARE hiring?

    jlpsu replied to loveblossom's topic in General Nursing

    I think it depends on where you live as well. In some parts of our state, new grads aren't finding jobs at all - but where we are, there are many jobs available. I'm just starting school and won't...

  8. Anyone attending Mercy Hospital School of Nursing (Pittsburgh) in August 2011?

    jlpsu replied to aubie.mathews's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Well I know you are all over at the facebook group, so hopefully someone checks in here to help me with my question! How hard was it to get accepted to Mercy SON? I'm taking all of the sciences this...

  9. Average IQ of a BSN nurse

    jlpsu replied to Weber's topic in General Students

    I think the poster *might* be asking for herself. i.e. If SHE is above average intelligence could she be a nurse. The answer of course, is...It Depends. I'm just starting school so I may be way...

  10. ADN or BSN. Which is better??

    jlpsu replied to normusmaximus's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I'd say that while you may have more schooling - it does not necessarily follow that you are 'trained better'. In my city - many of the diploma programs have a much higher NCLEX pass rate than some...

  11. Too old to worry about BSN?

    jlpsu posted a topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    So here is my situation. I have not one...but TWO bachelors degrees in other fields. 1st B.S. degree (straight after highschool) from Penn State in communication disorders , and then I went back 10...

  12. WCCC or UPMC Mercy SON?

    jlpsu replied to jlpsu's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    You know what? Nevermind! After that incredibly long winded question (sorry about that, I tried to edit it but it was after an hour and it wouldn't let me!), I found a link to the NCLEX pass rates....
