  1. Inver Hills 2014 Fall hopeful

    PTKChic replied to Hopefulnurse30's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I applied only to Inver Hills. I have a 4.0 on the submitted classes and overall, but I know they only are (supposed) to look at those four classes. My TEAS was 86% which puts my entrance score at...

  2. Charting Disruptive Patient Behaviors: Are You Objective?

    PTKChic replied to SHGR's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Thank you so much for this article. I am currently a CMA and was definitely undereducated when it comes to proper charting technique. I will keep an eye on what I write in my

  3. 2014 Applicants

    PTKChic replied to emergenceRN17's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just applied to ADN-BSN Inver Hills Community College in MN. I won't find out the results until March 15,

  4. Medical Assistants - Good Career Move or Not?

    PTKChic replied to igus2666's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Med techs ARE NOT Certified Medical Assistants. Please learn more about CMA from the AAMA and not from people aren't medical assistants. CMA's are employable in clinical setting only, we work under a...

  5. Medical Assistants - Good Career Move or Not?

    PTKChic replied to igus2666's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You must not know too many

  6. Pretty down about being a new CNA

    PTKChic replied to evack5318's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    A chick said she needed a "man" to help lift? Wow, she should not be a CNA if she's not comfortable with the physcial aspect of the job. I was 125#, 5'1" and I lift the heaviest of the residents by...

  7. A little reassurance?

    PTKChic posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm handing in my application today. Entrance is determined only by an overall score out of 14 (no other factors at all!). I've got a 4.0 plus an 8.6 (86%) on my TEAS test to bring me to a 12.6. I've...

  8. LVN or straight to RN?

    PTKChic replied to FutureLVN2019's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with previous poster. If you plan on becoming an RN, just go to school to be an RN. No fussing around.

  9. Best backpack? Not rolling!

    PTKChic replied to the healer's art's topic in General Students

    Anything with big, wide shoulder straps is going to be best on your back. It'll last longer if it's made from canvas or leather, not a cloth type of

  10. What was your hardest class and how did you study for it?

    PTKChic replied to VAgirl247's topic in General Students

    Notecards. I was never a notecard person in high school, but they have proved to be lifesaving in the science

  11. Purchasing ATI practice exam

    PTKChic replied to PTKChic's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Thanks for your answer. I rented the book thinking that I would only take my test once. I had to return it in December, but was only able to sign up for my second test 1/17. I want to take the test...

  12. Purchasing ATI practice exam

    PTKChic posted a topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I would like to know what you get when you purchase the ATI practice exam online. Do you get a chance at one test and they score you and that's it? Or are you allowed to repeatedly access this same...

  13. Has anyone heard anything about the Minnesota School of Business BSN program?

    PTKChic replied to lrkonietzko's topic in General Nursing

    MSB is a private college. The only thing I have ever heard about their nursing program is that it may not be fully credentialed. This was a couple years ago, I might add. I'd thoroughly research any...

  14. Teas score for NHCC program??

    PTKChic replied to virgo7598's topic in General Nursing

    I scored 86% (don't have the breakdown in front of me) and have a 4.0. I will only apply to IHCC, though. I asked about what makes a "desired" point total and was told that "anything as close to 14 as...

  15. First time TEAS score

    PTKChic replied to virgo7598's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I am also applying to IHCC. I scored 86% back in October and have a 4.0. I was also told that it will be very easy for the school to find 50 people with a 4.0 in the applicable classes so I'm retaking...

  16. Can nurses refuse to perform/assist circumcisions and abortions?

    PTKChic replied to crunchymama91's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I say yes. You work in a free job market. Don't take a position at a place that knowingly performs these procedures. ETA: OP isn't grossed out by circumcisions or abortions. If anyone takes a look at...

  17. Should I take it again?

    PTKChic replied to PTKChic's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Thank you guys! I really appreciate your comments. Honestly, I really don't have the time or energy to study all over again and take the test just shy of the application due date. It makes me...

  18. Should I take it again?

    PTKChic posted a topic in TEAS Exam Help

    My final score for the TEAS test was 86% and apparently puts me in the 97th percentile from my program. I got 90-somethings on everything but science (everything I studied for from my ATI book was not...

  19. MA student/CNA position

    PTKChic replied to lmsmom2's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Why are you going for LVN after CMA? They are the same level. It seems
