  1. What Are The Differences Between CNA/PCT? Different PCT Certification?

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

    Well I do already have a current CNA license, so I'm set there at least. But if I were you, I wouldn't worry about paying and taking the time to do a CNA course if you're starting nursing school...

  2. Just got CNA, going for LPN soon, which CNA job for best experience?

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

    To be honest, you may be stuck doing LTC or Home Health for a while until you have some experience under your belt. Most hospitals are hesitant to hire CNAs with no prior experience. LTC is extremely...

  3. writing a discussion post

    mirandaaa replied to moniqueljones's topic in General Students

    Haha you two can cool your jets now! I would sincerely hope an instructor wouldn't require their students to post a discussion thread on a public site. ...but then again, things are crazy nowadays...

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

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

    You are definitely not alone! I hope things go smoothly for you during your application process when you get there

  5. How land a pool/float CNA position

    mirandaaa replied to Scuba_NurseBSN's topic in Nursing Career

    To put it simply: yes. As long as you explain ahead of time (during the interview process) what your goals are and that you need flexibility d/t school, they'll usually work with you. But it also...

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

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

    I should definitely find out by Friday so I'm very excited. I'm thinking they'll send letters today and I'll have them tomorrow or Thursday. Friday, at the latest. Rumor has it they've also emailed...

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

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

    Oh I definitely have no hard feelings towards GrnTea! I actually said a few weeks ago that she is one of my favorite posters on AN. I don't take anything on here (or any other website) personally...

  9. What Are The Differences Between CNA/PCT? Different PCT Certification?

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

    Good to know! I'll keep an eye out for specifics on the online job postings. It would be pretty cool to get in as a PTC with a CNA license. I don't want to spend $900 to get certified, just to end up...

  10. Nursing Info Session Questions

    mirandaaa replied to JRagan76's topic in General Students

    Same, ours was super casual. We were also given a packet and pens so we could jot down notes in the packet if

  11. Goal is NP. ASN>BSN>MSN -or - ASN>MSN???

    mirandaaa replied to BooBear'sMommy's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I think I read elsewhere on this site that there are some places that will not hire you without having the Bachelors as well as Masters. (Which I personally don't

  12. I need some advice on A&P!

    mirandaaa replied to mkat123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took A&P II online last semester. It wasn't bad, actually. It takes a bit more study time than an on campus course, but it is doable. They also sent a fetal pig, heart, and kidney along with...

  13. writing a discussion post

    mirandaaa replied to moniqueljones's topic in General Students

    Through my school, we were required to do discussion posts every week. It's not done on some random site for strangers, it's done through the school Web program that only students enrolled in the...

    mirandaaa replied to IHeartPeds87's topic in General Nursing

    There are some really good resume templates that you can download and fill in with your own information! If you Google "resume templates" or "resume builder" there are tons of great resources you can...

  15. Twelve hour shifts. Are you doing 3 or 4 days a week?

    mirandaaa replied to NursePooda's topic in General Nursing

    Our schedule was set for a year. One week was 3 12s and the next week was 4. It ran like this: Sunday-Off Monday-On (1) Tuesday-On (2) Wednesday-Off Thursday-Off Friday-On (3) Saturday-On (4)...

  16. Cna

    mirandaaa replied to Msmallory's topic in Florida Nursing

    Hmm that is a tough one. Because I would generally stop the shower and give them some towels or shower blanket and then press the call light for

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

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

    That was just silly, GrnTea. There is absolutely nothing wrong with being excited about something we've worked hard for. Does this mean I'm calling the school every day, asking when I'll find out?...

  21. should i worry yet

    mirandaaa replied to Meg86an's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Agreed. Always good to call them if you don't hear back. If you call them, it shows you're truly interested in the position and they'll be more likely to want to hire you. And sometimes they may have...

  22. Valedictorian caught cheating

    mirandaaa replied to pinknursepower's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    How THE hell does that make any sense?! That is not even close to fair at all. Sounds to me like there is some favoritism going on or maybe she knows someone

  23. CNA and CPR

    mirandaaa replied to CommuterChick22's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Totally agree. It's good to have a CPR certification anyways, even for people not in healthcare. Never know when an accident or emergency happens and you can potentially save someone's

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

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

    Holy crap! That's so far away! That doesn't seem like it gives a whole lot of time to prepare and whatnot. When we get ours, we have a couple of weeks to respond if we're going to accept the spot and...
