I created a Facebook Group real fast; Duquesne University 2nd Degree Nursing 2016.

Im not sure which hospitals Duquesne uses for clinicals, but, i assume Mercy, Presby and Childrens. Anyway, all of these hospitals are easily accessible by bus. Mercy sits on the Duquesne campus, so, no problems there. The 54c and 54d out of the southside will take you to Presby and to Childrens hospital, too. Im not sure if Duquesne offers free bus fare, but, I know Pitt students ride city buses for free. Otherwise, a monthly bus pass is about $100.

Im not sure that i am searchable and of course i cant send a private message on here. Anyway, you can try to search me (Nick James); if not, let me know and i can search you.

I would check the pittsburgh craigslist rooms for rent or roommates wanted section. Its a good time to do it, especially considering its graduation/move out season.

Duquesne sits right in the downtown area of pittsburgh. One of the more convenient places to live would be the South side flats; you can just search on craigslist for that area and you will find a ton of listings. But, remember, you want the southside FLATS and not southside slopes. Aside from living right in the downtown area, the southside is probably one of the more convenient locations. This is where i live and i can tell you alot of Duquesne students walk/bike to campus as it is only about a mile away. Also, there are duquesne shuttles that run out of the southside and take you to campus, though, i dont know how helpful these will be. Other options could include Oakland, shadyside or the strip district; these are all reasonably close to duquesne, but, would require you to drive or bus in. Anyway, if anyone has questions about what certain areas of the city are like, feel free to ask me.

I've also been accepted to the Duquesne ABSN program as well as the RMU ABSN program. Initially, i was excited, but now i'm slightly terrified after reading some of the comments regarding the program here on the allnurses forums. I also found the Duquesnes ABSN class of 2015 group on facebook; has the class of 2016 started a similar group at this point?
