UPMC MERCY School of Nursing Class of '14

Published

Hello,

Was anyone accepted into the UPMC Mercy School of Nursing Class of '14 which is starting in August of 2012? I was and I was looking forward to meeting other who have been as well!

I tried to call the school to find out but they are all away this week. :(

Hi everyone, I am currently on the waitlist for the August 2012 start date and next week I will know for sure if a spot opens up in your class. I'm trying to prepare myself for the August 2012 start date since it's only a month away, so does anyone know the exact start date of classes?

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???

Specializes in transplant/case management.

I just bought everything tonight (including skyscape). I also got the study books associated with our textbooks for additional review. I spent some serious cash (like 600 for everything). I got them all new from amazon. I haven't looked elsewhere. This is just for fundamentals, med-surg and pharm.

They told us to buy and not rent because we will use those books throughout the program

They told us the same thing at shadyside, to buy the nursing course books, but renting the college course ones was ok / advisable.

Thanks, I'll be purchasing them tonight. I might look into the study guides too.

What color warm up jackets did everyone buy? I got white thinking it would look better than wine... Now I am second guessing that. I hope we don't have to wear it often lol
