    I want a medical job!!!!

    NICUmiiki replied to quintishaf's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Becoming a CNA should not take very long. A month or so, at most a semester. I would look for programs at public technical colleges if you can. The public tech college near me offers a CNA course for...

    Worried about paying off student loan debt

    NICUmiiki replied to metallicaman1031's topic in General Students

    If you qualify for the extended repayment terms (most with higher loan amounts do), you pay less than you would under the 10 year repayment and whatever is left after 10 years of payments is forgiven....

    I want a medical job!!!!

    NICUmiiki replied to quintishaf's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    She probably meant that taking a CNA class would be a waste of time since you would be eligible to become a CNA after the first semester of nursing school. You would be paying for a class that you...

    Per year. I just got my fee bill for next semester and the total charge is $5562.48 for 12 hours. I do need to add another class so it will go up

    Endorsing my WA CNA license to FL

    NICUmiiki replied to lllenjolll's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Many facilities won't let you work at a lower level than your license. I'm not in Florida, but as soon as you graduate, they will not let you work as a tech anymore. Just something to ask about if you...

    Driving an hour to school there and back

    NICUmiiki replied to SarahStoddard14's topic in General Students

    I would say about 20% of my class drive over an hour one-way from another metropolitan. It take me about 40 minutes. You can make it

    HESI Pharmacology

    NICUmiiki posted a topic in General Students

    WHOOP! Just passed it! Benchmark was 850; I got a 932. It was worth a bonus 1% of my grade... Even though I didn't know most of the drugs I came across, I did really well to say I've only taken...

    Does being an LVN disqualify one from a Second degree program?

    NICUmiiki replied to CalitoNY's topic in School, College Programs

    I wouldn't think so, but I would call the admissions offices of the schools you will be applying to to find out for

    Are TOMS acceptable nursing shoes?

    NICUmiiki replied to babynursingstudent's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Trust me! I wore Tom's to work (with shoe covers) once because my coworker called and asked if I would come in. I was already away from home, so I came as I was and wore hospital scrubs and my Tom's....

    Nursing School. Did you work?

    NICUmiiki replied to ana86's topic in General Students

    I work 36 hours a week (3 12's). While I could probably pull off straight A's if I didn't work, I'm still doing pretty good. I'm almost a year in, but I'll be so happy when I'm done. I also have a 5...

    Need an online english composition class stat!

    NICUmiiki replied to mswtruth's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It took me about a month to do all of the lessons (15). I enrolled in Oct. but I didn't start until December. Each lesson would take me anywhere between 2 hours and 2 days depending on my motivation...

    Clinicals

    NICUmiiki replied to YasminLassiter's topic in General Students

    To be fair, in my state we don't practice nursing under our instructor's license. We go through a background checks through the BON and are granted permission to practice nursing as a student nurse...

    What are the details of ER nursing?

    NICUmiiki replied to joyfullpn's topic in Emergency

    The triage nurse gets your story, determines your triage level (how big of an emergency your situation is ex: asymtomatic STD check = 5, heart attack = 1) and might escort you to room if one is...

    CNA to LVN

    NICUmiiki replied to jaclyn13's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You can't just skip nursing school or test out. You would need to attend an accredited LVN school. Also, nursing is more than passing a pharm course. I doubt you'd be able to pass the NCLEX without...

    How many hours do they give you?

    NICUmiiki replied to flod's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Why in the world would you want to do that? When I work shifts back to back, I have a total of 2 awake hours of free time between shifts. And by free time I mean "Let me wash these dishes and fold...

    Does a Sitter need a license or certification to work in a hospital?

    NICUmiiki replied to Mikeinhouston's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Same for the sitters at my hospital. No certs, no patient care. After they are hired the hospital gives them BLS and MOAB (management of aggressive behavior) since they deal with a lot of patients...

    When someone asks you what you do for a living, do you say "nurse" or "RN" or "LVN"?

    NICUmiiki replied to HHN2472's topic in General Nursing

    When I say I'm in nursing school, I am almost always asked "RN or LPN?" And it's usually by people who do not work in a health
