  1. "My Tech" or "My Aide"

    mirandaaa replied to dreamer30's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    This has never bothered me. I am "their aide" and they are "my nurse" and we are working on "our unit" because we are teammates working on the same floor together. It's not meant in a derogatory term...

  2. "Patience" Is Not A Word In Our Vocabulary

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

    You guys were just a month ahead of us :) We have all that to do, too!! I am going in on Wednesday for a physical and titer, I signed up for my background check and drug screen, getting recertified in...

  4. I've been accepted!!

    mirandaaa replied to BigCWilliams's topic in General Students

    Unfortunately just ASN for now. The school I went to doesn't offer BSN. I'll finish my ASN in two years and immediately start online courses for my BSN

  5. Rolling TEAS exam scores

    mirandaaa replied to Beccalynn33's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    That's one more than me lol. We were only allowed two tries. Just focus on the areas in the practice tests you're struggling

  6. Accounting Or Nursing

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

    There is a huge difference between nursing and accounting

  7. hiding piercing holes?

    mirandaaa replied to blah_blah_blah's topic in General Nursing

    Could not have replied any better! Kudos! I think you should just take it out. It may be noticeable but if it isn't in, but they will appreciate your efforts to make a professional appearance by...

  8. what's the best option.please help asap

    mirandaaa replied to bibi10's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Agreed with JustBeachyNurse. The chances of you getting into a nursing program this fall without any pre-requisites completed is very very unlikely. Every nursing program (that I know of) has...

  9. Rolling TEAS exam scores

    mirandaaa replied to Beccalynn33's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    It just sounds like you need to score as high as you can. The TEAS is very difficult (IMO) and at my school it has been rare to find anyone scoring above around an 84 or so (I scored an 82%). It's...

  14. Perpetuating the Stigma of LTC

    mirandaaa replied to bluegeegoo2's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I personally feel as though that makes a huge difference. Generally the family-owned ones have owners that genuinely care for their residents and make a point to get to know everyone personally and...

  15. Can't get into school because of statistics :(

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

    Have you looked into different nursing programs? They don't all require statistics. My school only requires one math course (MATH123 or above) as a pre-requisite and we aren't required to take any...

  16. Perpetuating the Stigma of LTC

    mirandaaa replied to bluegeegoo2's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    As someone who worked as a CNA in LTC for 3 years, LTC nursing staff are some of the hardest working employees out there. For as understaffed facilities are, the nursing staff as a whole for this...

    Terre Haute people are receiving letters today. Come on

  18. Does this happen a lot?

    mirandaaa replied to oliegirl_liz's topic in Home Health

    I'm not a nurse, so I can only say what I've gathered from reading/hearing things, but from what I understand, it's pretty common to have malpractice insurance as a nurse. It's a little strange that...

  19. "Patience" Is Not A Word In Our Vocabulary

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

    I totally understand what you're saying. The original post just came off a little abrasive. Which can always be misinterpreted based on the fact that it's a written text, not a verbal conversation. I...

  20. celebrating TEAS/acceptance

    mirandaaa replied to FuturePN's topic in General Students

    Drink. A lot. I mean, if you're into that sort of

  21. "Women in Nursing"

    mirandaaa replied to mrnightinggale's topic in Men in Nursing

    I wondered that, too. I think it's because there are way more women nurses that there's really no reason to have a women's only one since this entire site is more jam-packed with women than

  22. Ivytech 2015 Fall Admission

    mirandaaa replied to sierracherise's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Waiting for this letter is insanely painful! At this point, I don't even care if I get in, I just want to know either way! (okay that was a lie, I do want to get in. I said that to be

  23. Nursing Specialties - Dream Job

    mirandaaa replied to ground's topic in General Nursing

    I want to work as a floater! I like the idea of not having a set unit every day. I think it would keep things exciting to constantly have new assignments on different units and with different...

  24. "Patience" Is Not A Word In Our Vocabulary

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

    I thought about taking some classes this summer, but all the ones I can take in relation to the program are all the really hard science classes and I just feel like I'll do terrible in them since...

  25. "Patience" Is Not A Word In Our Vocabulary

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

    I'm not sure what the requirements are for your school, but that is a fantastic TEAS score! And that is a pretty high average. I think my school's average is right around the national average which I...
