UPMC Mercy School of Nursing -Class of '15

[mc86mcd]

Hi AllNurses community! I have been searching for a thread for the UPMC Mercy Hospital Class of 2015, but alas; no such luck. Therefore, I created one!

I was accepted to start in August 2013 and was looking for others who were, or are looking to be accepted. I know it's early still, but I am ready to start school and secure a study group.

Now to my question: I know Mercy has a tuition contract. Does anyone know anything about it? Is it a good deal? I know they are sending information about it, but I am interested in hearing opinions.

Thanks!

Hey guys I just made a facebook page for class of 2015!

I'd wait and see what the school's policy is first. Some schools prohibit you from recording lectures. You wouldn't wanna buy something really expensive just to record with and find out you can't even use it for that! But I'm sure you'd find plenty of other ways to use your ipad! LOL!

Is it Mercy 2015? I tried to go onto the page but it says it's a "closed group".... I got accepted about a week ago!

Got accepted a few weeks ago! Excited to meet the rest of the 2015 class! Congrats to all accepted :) See you at orientation in Mid-June

Hey guys! Hope all is well. The time for orientation is rapidly approaching. So exciting! I have a few questions. I'm also getting an iPad. I can't decide if it's worth the extra money to pay for the Internet on it. Does mercy have a good wifi connection we will be able to use in class? Also, I'm starting to look into day care for my son. Does Mercy have a day care that students can use? Can't wait to meet all of you! And congrats to everyone that has just recently been accepted.

Mercy has a good Wi-Fi connection you can use all over the hospital. I'm not sure about the daycare. There is a daycare for the employees of the hospital but I'm not sure if the students can use it.
