    Ma with no job leads need advice please help

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

    Conflicted about job offer

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

    Don't worry about it. Employers want to hire people with experience because they need less orientation therefore making them cheaper. Take the job, get experience. Before you know it, you'll be one of...

    NICUmiiki replied to CarlyBelle's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    All of the hospitals around me do, but its only for full-time employees which is hard if your full time in scho. Tuition assistance is considered a benefit like health insurance and 401k...

    Citrus College OR Cerritos College (Help! Dilemma!)

    NICUmiiki replied to BT001's topic in General Students

    I leave my house an hour before class (It's a 40 minute drive). I find that I barely notice the drive. I think that if the distance is the only thing holding you back from the school you obviously...

    NICUmiiki replied to krazievi3t6url's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Move! You may be able to move back sooner than you think once you start getting some experience under your belt. You may later get a job closer to where you want to be that still meets your service...

    After Interview

    NICUmiiki replied to FutureRNGreen's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I would say anywhere between 1 day and 3 weeks. My hospital uses a multi-interview hiring process where you meet with the recruiter and then move on to the unit manager. It depends on how long the...

    ITT tech RN?

    NICUmiiki replied to bublinkova's topic in General Students

    Untouched Topic

    NICUmiiki replied to san4's topic in International Nursing

    To me, it sounds like you have a good chance of getting into a ABSN program (as long as your grades are good) or at least some traditional programs. Remember, even people with bachelor degrees from...

    NICUmiiki replied to Jenn Mendoza's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just relax. People ask me what kind of nurse I want to be, but I usually just tell them that I I'll probably decided sometime during nursing school when I'm exposed to it. I'm really interested in...

    4 weeks notice?
