CNSs are important members of the team. How they are utilized and whether or not they are used to their full potential depends on the system you work for. Technically, CNSs are trained to assess, diagnose, and treat patients, though this isn't how I'...
Hey Q,
There are some things to consider when deciding on a program.
The first is, after graduation where do you intend to work, and with what population? The State Boards of Nursing and Universities are really pushing the Consensus Model....
Hey,
You know things have changed since I was there due to COVID. So, I’m not sure what kind of time commitment you’ll have. However, I will just say that you should play it by ear. Try to work as much as you feel is strictly necessary. If you n...
I believe Kira has practice interviews on their website. I would also become familiar with the Nurse Practitioner core competencies and try to implement them into your answers as much as possible. Think about why you want to become a nurse practition...
Hey Sarah, The job market really depends on where you are looking to get hired. If you would like to be connected to people who can give you a better idea, I would suggest joining the Michigan Council of Nurse Practitioners at the University of Mich...
@yessicanicole, do you know who you are interviewing with yet? If you know ahead of time, I can give you some pointers about the interviewers' personalities If not, just look over the NP Core Competencies found here: https://cdn.ymaws.com/www.nonpf.o...
If you got a Kira interview and not an in-person interview, I don't think that is a bad sign. If they are interviewing you at all (Kira or in-person) it means that they think you are a good candidate for the program. Interviewing applicants who are n...

Is it worth it?: That depends on why you want to become a nurse and what you're currently doing for work. If your dream is to become a nurse and money is not an issue then it's worth it. But LPN salaries are low when compared to pretty much every oth...

@Nursehala, If you want an ADN, pretty much any community college. If you want to earn a BSN there are a few reputable options, like Davenport, Northern Michigan, or Madonna. I hope this helps good luck with your education.
@nelsonmeg77, the CNM program is more competitive than the NP programs. However, if you are getting an in-person interview, you are probably in. They do the interviews to ensure that they are making the right choice in choosing you. Just come prepare...
You can definitely work full-time or part-time. You just need to decide how much of a life outside of work/school you want. I suggest you try to work and see how it goes. If you find it too difficult, you can always cut back on hours or quit. If you ...
Does anyone know how long it takes to hear about an interview at the UofM School of Nursing for their AGACNP MSN program? Will they inform me if I don't get an interview? Thanks.
Hi, I'm in the adult/gero acute care program at the University of Michigan. I would definitely do an acute care program and not FNP or primary care. You can get your RNFA, but it is not necessary. I know NPs at the University of Michigan hospital wh...
Hello, everyone. I'm a current DNP student at Michigan. If you have any questions please feel free to ask. Don't worry about not hearing anything. They won't contact you until you get your acceptance letter.

I'll start by saying, there are a couple of reasons you shouldn't worry too much. First, if you've made it to the interview, you are almost certainly in. The interview is just to make sure that they are making the right choice. Second, you'll be inte...

According to US and World News (which are the rankings that UofM uses to advertise) they had 272 applicants last year and accepted 135. So 49.6% acceptance rate. US and World News stated that there were 96 new entrants. I'm not sure if that is the nu...
