Just wanted to show you what some guy studying for the MCAT decided to post in the UMich School Specific Thread:
"Hi there, you guys almost make me sad, do you know that as I write this and as you study for your MCATS, there is a Nurse in the mayo clinic taking a 12 month program, in a despicable intention to replace a cardiologist. Did you know that anesthesiologist are in the same boat so are the OB/Gyn. Waaaaaaaaaaaaake up, you are being replaced by Nurse Practitioners . they are now able to take and do your job for half the price. Is it just me or is this a major slippery slope future medical doctors are facing. People, for every year youre in school, nurse practitioner and DNPs are popping up left and right, with the excuse that they are filling in the rural area shortage of medical drs, that is BS, the truth is they are staging the most excellent hostile take over using the government and even our own licensing agencies like the NBME, who has agreed to certify with one test and make it possible to get your job. Last I checked , that should be a red flag for all of us to wake up and start the marching down Washington, picket lines, civil disobedience and the whole shebang, after all, they are TAKING YOUR JOB. People make no mistake, I respect nurses, but they are saying that we are just wasting our time in school, that research has demonstrated over and over, that we dont need to take the MCAT or any of the excessive education (the way they put it), I dont have to cite anyone, just go online and you will read terrible things they say. People I think its time we defend ourselves , no more acting like if taking the MCAT is going to be the right thing to do, its not if your nurse counterpart(as they say) doesnt even need to take it. My two cents. Hope I get some sort of response, this way I can feel some hope for us."
I almost 🤣
