  1. When can you apply for student loans?

    mirandaaa replied to nursedorkface's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Apply for FAFSA and fill out the info on there first to see if you're eligible for any free money (grants) or subsidized loans. If yes, the information will go to your financial aid office at the...

  2. The Bearded Nurse

    mirandaaa replied to jamathis's topic in Men in Nursing

    Even though beards are becoming more popular and more common, I would say shave it for the interview! When you get the job, look over the policy and see if you can grow it back out after. Good luck!...

  3. Best online CNA program?

    mirandaaa replied to aiaa's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Agreed with all of this. I have never head of an online CNA course. You have to complete a certain number of clinical hours in order to be eligible to take the test (unless you finish your first set...

  4. What do you think?

    mirandaaa replied to studentih's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nobody here can answer this. You'll need to speak to an advisor at the school. Good

  5. Starting Aug 1st....books?

    mirandaaa replied to amberm5's topic in Western Governors University

    Well...I'm not so sure about that "free" part. My school also advertises several classes as the course material being "included in the tuition" but in all reality they just add the cost of the book...

  6. Questions about starting the program

    mirandaaa replied to statepatrick001's topic in General Students

    Seriously, take the time to relax. This will be your last opportunity to enjoy any free time for a long

  7. It finally happened: I have an interview!

    mirandaaa replied to littleamyd's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    You don't need to buy a suit (especially if you cannot afford one). Nice pants or skirt will do fine with a blouse and nice shoes. Just make sure your clothes are all clean (if you have pets, a lint...

  8. New Nurse Blues.....

    mirandaaa replied to RN2530's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You're still new. You shouldn't be expected to be the best nurse ever when you've only been working as one for a couple short months. As long as nothing awful happened, brush it off and move on....

  9. GoFundMe Thoughts?

    mirandaaa replied to singwithme123's topic in General Nursing

    The thing that I think is funny, is that the people starting these accounts don't realize that after they hit a certain amount, they are required to claim it on taxes (and pay on it) and also have to...

  10. GoFundMe Thoughts?

    mirandaaa replied to singwithme123's topic in General Nursing

    I'm just gonna set up a GoFundMe account so I won't have to work ever. I mean, I can do that, right? People will totally donate their hard-earned money so I don't have to work! Genius, why didn't I...

  12. Trying to decide between an ADN or BSN

    mirandaaa replied to Luciano_mateos's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For me, I got into the ASN program because it only required a semester a pre-requisites and 4 semesters of the program, but the BSN programs nearby required 2-4 semesters of pre-requisites and 6...

  13. Would you give up on this job?

    mirandaaa replied to Weary1's topic in General Nursing

    Is it wrong I lol'd at that last bit? The death of someone isn't a laughing matter, but that just wasn't what I was expecting to read at the end of that

  14. Finally ACCEPTED!!!!!!! Now what?!

    mirandaaa replied to frenchtoastwaffles's topic in General Students

    Thank you! I would have gotten all my co-reqs out of the way, but that would have put me under the credit hour eligibility for financial aid. I have most of them done though, so my school load during...

  15. Can I have my CNA certificate in more than one state?

    mirandaaa replied to ilikecorgis's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Yep, at least when I took it back in

  16. Does your hospital allow shadowing experience?

    mirandaaa replied to Yuppers21's topic in General Nursing

    This is actually

  17. Finally ACCEPTED!!!!!!! Now what?!

    mirandaaa replied to frenchtoastwaffles's topic in General Students

    Congrats! You're in the same boat as me :) My advisor told me it would be best to get some of my co-reqs done over the summer but they're all the difficult science courses so I politely declined (I'd...

  18. BSN- worth the extra time for little extra salary?

    mirandaaa replied to trebleclefmama's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I'm getting my ASN then beginning an online BSN program immediately after. I'm able to get into the job market about 2 years faster than if I went straight for my BSN. It just kinda depends on what...

  19. Starting nursing school... Need advice!

    mirandaaa replied to StaceyTr88's topic in General Students

    mirandaaa replied to nursing5275's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Thank you for posting this! I was wondering this before as

  21. Can I have my CNA certificate in more than one state?

    mirandaaa replied to ilikecorgis's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I was certified in Kansas and then moved to the Chicago area. Where I moved, first-time CNA's are required to take a skills test (while in Kansas we only had the writing test). Because I already had...

  22. Online Pre Requisites

    mirandaaa replied to Prenurse94's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took tons of my pre-requisites online. Loved it. Be careful though, some higher degrees and schools don't accept online pre-requisite work for nursing. For example, I'm working on my ASN and in...

  23. What's the meanest thing a patient has said to you?

    mirandaaa replied to fangirl's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I began a new job in LTC and had a resident who was VERY picky (unbeknownst to me yet). I helped her to the toilet and she called me back in a few minutes later to help her get back into her chair. I...

  24. "Will I Get In?" "Is Nursing For Me?"

    mirandaaa posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There are a million of these posts from pre-nursing students asking if they will get into xxxxxx school with xxxxxx qualifications. Google is your best friend for this question. There is not one...

  25. Who gets their acceptance/denial letter in the next two weeks?

    mirandaaa replied to RNtobe17's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I fully understand your excitement!! I just found out last week that I was accepted into the RN program. I've already looked at stethoscopes, BP cuffs, shoes, pens, clipboards, badge clips, and tons...
