  1. University of Michigan (UofM) Accelerated program

    AnxiousRNtobe replied to LovinbeingaMommy's topic in Michigan Nursing

    A friend just declined admission today so who ever is #1 on the list will be getting in before

  2. Nursing Program -becoming easier to get in?-

    AnxiousRNtobe replied to sophie1215's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I haven't heard of any nursing program having thousands of applicants for 40 - 60 slots but it is competitive. The incoming second career BSN program at Univ Michigan had 355 applicants for 42 slots...

  3. PA to RN? (I do know the difference all too well)

    AnxiousRNtobe posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm relying on the anonymity of the great big internet and the general size of the universe, I'm nervous to go "out there" with myself. Here's my situation: I started a PA program (master's degree)...

  4. PA to RN? (I do know the difference all too well)

    AnxiousRNtobe replied to AnxiousRNtobe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm afraid that I've done too much damage to my GPA. I feel like I started out badly and am having trouble recovering my confidence, let alone my interest. And even though I always thought NP training...

  5. PA to RN? (I do know the difference all too well)

    AnxiousRNtobe replied to AnxiousRNtobe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow, you have all given me a lot to think about. In my mind, you were going to describe the lush green valley of nursing school (that's how my NP colleagues remember it from years back), where...

  6. PA to RN? (I do know the difference all too well)

    AnxiousRNtobe replied to AnxiousRNtobe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Perpetual Student (I guess I am one too): your theory that I'm suffering a bad case of "the grass is greener on the BSN side of the fence" might be an element of what's going on. I imagine nursing...

  7. Flu Vaccine, enough already!

    AnxiousRNtobe replied to Bklyn_RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    a few pages ago i posted several links to scholarly articles and the cdc discussing flu vaccine effectiveness, here is more: article showing that flu vaccine resulted in less severe pneumonia and...

  8. Flu Vaccine, enough already!

    AnxiousRNtobe replied to Bklyn_RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I agree, law school is not a bad choice {stirring pot} but the job market for new JDs is about what it is for new nurses. Yep, it's all about individual rights, not at all about those pesky sick...

  9. Flu Vaccine, enough already!

    AnxiousRNtobe replied to Bklyn_RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Here are some studies I found with a quick Google search for reputable scientific sources: http://www.cdc.gov/flu/professionals/vaccination/effectivenessqa.htm, extensive information on flu vaccine,...

  10. Flu Vaccine, enough already!

    AnxiousRNtobe replied to Bklyn_RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Sorry, te sarcasm in my post did not come across well. I don't know that Canadians or Mexicans or any other country has as much drama over vaccines as we do every year. I completely agree that a...

  11. Flu Vaccine, enough already!

    AnxiousRNtobe replied to Bklyn_RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    As an American, I believe it is my God given right to refuse any intervention that "The Man" tries to force on me - whether it's the vaccine against influenza or a vaccine against old timey diseases...

  12. Nursing Specialties leading to Nursing Practitioner vs Physician Assistant

    AnxiousRNtobe replied to SeanLN's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    that's like saying once nurses pass the nclex they can practice anywhere. true, but so what? any beginner at a low level can do that. pas are lower-level practitioners, not remotely comparable to...

  13. Nursing Specialties leading to Nursing Practitioner vs Physician Assistant

    AnxiousRNtobe replied to SeanLN's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I should add that PAs can practice in emergency rooms, family practice, surgery, hospitalist, psychiatry, pediatrics, geriatrics, pretty much anywhere except labor & delivery and neonatal where...

  14. Nursing Specialties leading to Nursing Practitioner vs Physician Assistant

    AnxiousRNtobe replied to SeanLN's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    as a clarification, do not think that because you observed them to do many of the same tasks that they had the same responsibilities. they are certainly not "equals." a pa is not a "mid-level...

  15. Nurses union to University of Michigan: 'no cuts' to benefits

    AnxiousRNtobe replied to scecile's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    These are my facts, for which I will not apologize nor retract: There certainly are good and bad nurses everywhere. I don't buy the crap about UM being "Michigan Difference", that's PR propaganda that...

  16. Pageburst?

    AnxiousRNtobe replied to wannabe an rn's topic in General Students

    Warning about Pageburst: it looks like a great idea and it downloaded to my laptop fine but then when I went to put the books I bought (Mosby's Drug Reference and Mosby's Lab Manual) on my 4th...

  17. Med Student Hierarchy?

    AnxiousRNtobe replied to KaksRN's topic in General Nursing

    I appreciate what you said, linearthinker, we were all beginning students at one time or another and learning is a life-long process. To make fun of someone because we think we know more then they do...

  18. BSN to MSW

    AnxiousRNtobe replied to Lina Marie's topic in General Nursing

    I have an MSW and am going back to school to be a PA. I'd say that the answer to your question depends on your goal: do you want to do therapy (which could be done with MSW or PsyD/PhD as Nohika...

  19. Serious scope of practice concern

    AnxiousRNtobe replied to newtress's topic in General Nursing

    In my state, you can't call yourself a "social worker" unless you are licensed as one (just as not just anyone can refer to themselves as a "nurse" unless properly licensed). And you can't get a...

  20. Uninsured patients

    AnxiousRNtobe replied to 15isto2's topic in General Nursing

    I wish it was a myth that people die in the US for lack of health insurance. I see a patients at least a few times a week whose disease is diagnosed so late that they can't be treated, or they decide...

  21. Uninsured patients

    AnxiousRNtobe replied to 15isto2's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a social worker in Michigan. Medicaid has nothing to do with illnesses people may (or may not) have. Medicaid is for people with very low income and assets. In Michigan, that means an income of...

  22. EMU, does anyone have any information about admissions?

    AnxiousRNtobe replied to springing's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I know this thread is a little old but I have the same questions... After taking two prereqs at a community college (A&P and organic chemistry), I will be applying to EMUs second bachelors...
