   Rach, I was wondering if you would share your stats. I'm applying to their FNP program for May 2013 and was curious how competitive it is to get in. Are you from the area? I'm part of a research group for U of M cardiovascular and work with some facu...

   Tommy2001 replied to CasseyW's topic in Michigan

   Personally I can't imagine carrying a med dic or any reference for that matter in a clinical setting. Everyone uses smart phone apps epocrates is awesome and I can tell you we all benefit from it. Don't waste your money on those med dic, term, etc bo...

   ATI .....is a killer. It is used in the calculation of your course grade for most of your classes. It depends on your Prof as to how much they weigh. when you guys get started you will get study guides from the nursing office....read them. The ATI ex...

   cbrooks, Most of the prof's are ok with using an older edition....but I never did. I always wanted the most updated version do to any changes at all. They will use the most recent edition. So my advice is don't cheap out on your life line...those boo...

   Taking micro and DTC right now is a very smart move. I did the same and many in my clinical group didn't. They are in the classroom this summer and I'm working in the SICU making money and gaining experience.... You chose right.

   Tommy2001 replied to Kimberly6891's topic in Michigan

   wendy, lol...i can appreciate your comparison of the debate having served eight years in the military. i agree with a lot of what you said but also believe some of it is skewed by your belief that you are on an equal playing field as a new bsn. my i...

10. ADN or BSN?

    Tommy2001 replied to Kimberly6891's topic in Michigan

    Sounds like you guys are insecure with your two year degrees and assumptions. Detroit Mercy is known for taking U of M scraps. Two different worlds. -Mr.BSN

11. ADN or BSN?

    Tommy2001 replied to Kimberly6891's topic in Michigan

    If an ADN was the "same level of education" then they would call it a BSN. A two year degree is the same as a four year degree???right...... This is the attitude of nurses who typically believe they know more than the residents. The fact is most of A...

    Tommy2001 replied to MelBell2005's topic in Michigan

    Mohi, Sorry to hear about that. Last year I was in your shoes. I remember reading my rejection letter over and over. I felt horrible and I thought I have a 4.0 what else do I need to prove? This is my advice to you. The year will fly. If nursing is w...

13. Eastern Michigan University Accelerated BSN Fall 2011

    Tommy2001 replied to MelBell2005's topic in Michigan

    Mel, If you haven't taken any classes at EMU forget it. I tried last year with a 4.0 and didn't get in. I transfered to EMU and took the pre reqs over and got in for this Fall. If your not at EMU my advice is you should transfer.

14. ADN or BSN?

    Tommy2001 replied to Kimberly6891's topic in Michigan

    This may be the case for you but not all. Sorry to seem harsh but it's offensive to me. Would you compare a person who has an AA in Business to a person who has a BS in Business? Of course not. Why do you think it is acceptable to compare an AA nurse...

15. ADN or BSN?

    Tommy2001 replied to Kimberly6891's topic in Michigan

    I did a lot of my pre reqs at WCCCD and went to an informational meeting there. I lasted 10 minutes and walked out. I transfered to a four year the next semester. I'm not saying I'm better than people but that group of people was not the group I'd wa...
