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...

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...

Cbrooks...lol..breathe. here is the lowdown regarding text books. At the end of the semester -------------- was working on a package deal through elsevier. My study partner swears by the ebook. I personally bought both. Why? Well I like to traditiona...

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.

Hey everyone first congrats on your acceptance and welcome to EMU Nursing! My name is Tom I have been the President of EMU's SNA over this past year and now the VP of Michigan SNA. When I got my acceptance letter I had all the same questions. Scrubs,...

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...

Not a problem you've got my email just let me know.

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

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...

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...

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.

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...

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...

I'll keep the good news rolling!! I got my acceptance letter to! Looking forward to meeting everyone! Awesome news Britt!!

I know I'd like to know my future too. I want to just walk up in Marshall and ask to see the list! lol.. I think knowing the answer is coming makes things worse because it wasn't bothersome until I knew it was coming! I have a feeling tomorrow is the...

Well whatever they do I hope it's quick! All this anticipation is making nervous!! Email would be nice! or post a list outside Marshall! Well I guess it will be celebrating or crying in a day or so.

That would be great. I'll let you know if I hear anything. Hopefully we'll be classmates!!

Ya I had 145 I think if I remember right the cut off was 150. Either way I remember being five points short. I'm thinking its going to be at least the same this year just with fewer applicants. (my opinion) I think a lot of people who were in my boat...

Hey Brit, Crazy isn't it. Ya all my courses were transfers, so I re-took them at Eastern this past semester to get my points. I read my rejection letter like five times last year. I thought there was a mistake!! lol...You must have just missed it las...

Last year we heard on the 11th. They sent everyone a letter. Last year I had a 4.0 all TEAS points and didn't get in. I took my pre reqs over at EMU this past winter and got A's again. I have done everything I could so I'm hopeful this year. Good luc...

johanna, thanks so much for your insight! i have been thinking a lot about what you said. it makes complete sense to go active duty and continue the retirement clock let alone full benefits while going to school. my wife is working on her master's in...

Johanna767, I was wondering if you'd answer a few questions for me. I am prior Navy of eight years enlisted. I seperated from the Navy to go to nursing school. I want to come back into the Navy as a Nurse and my ultimate goal is to be a Navy CRNA. Sh...

Well thanks I hope. If I hear anything I'll let you know. I did hear that we should know aroung the middle of the month. If you hear anything let me know! Maybe we'll be classmates come this Fall!
