  1. CNA during school

    mirandaaa replied to Racer1986's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You can definitely work full-time AS a PRN, you just won't be classified as a "full-time employee". The last LTC facility I worked at had us fill out a calendar every other week and we would write...

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

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

    I was doing okay with it up until the 9th when final grades were posted when I had time open up to think about it since the semester ended and now it's all I can think about. Good luck to

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

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

    You're lucky! Our application deadline wasn't until April 1st and the ASN letters are to be sent out any time between the date the final grades posted for Spring 2015 semester (May 9) and May 30th. A...

  4. Teas and Hesi Studying

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

    Firstly, read THIS article. Everything that was on my TEAS was on this list (however, not everything on the list was on the TEAS). Buy the ATI study manual. It's like $80 on the ATI site, but I found...

  5. CNA and CPR

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

    Check with the CNA program on how they do things. When I took my class, they didn't CPR certify us themselves, but they had a third party company come in for a few hours on one of our class days and...

  6. Cna

    mirandaaa replied to Msmallory's topic in Florida Nursing

    Was it multiple choice? If so, what were the

  7. CNA during school

    mirandaaa replied to Racer1986's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm in the same boat. I work M-F 8-4. Prior to having this job I worked full time as a CNA. Once I start nursing school in the fall I'm going to go back to working as a CNA and do PRN and pick up 2...

  8. Missing School/Classmates

    mirandaaa replied to wtg2989's topic in Male Nursing Students

    It is always sad knowing that something good is coming to a close and that the people you shared it with will all go on to do different things. I suggest adding them on Facebook or making a closed...

  9. micro and A&PII together??

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

    One of my friends from school took both (against her advisor's advice) and ended up nearly failing both. It really depends on your work ethic. Maybe speak with your advisor and see what they

  10. Bad experience as CNA :(

    mirandaaa replied to gizm0's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Working as a CNA in an LTC facility is extremely hard. I did it full-time for about 3 years and finally stepped out of it altogether. Too overworked and too underpaid. There are tons of other areas...

  11. 8 hr Night Shifts

    mirandaaa replied to NICUnurse21's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'd say take it. If you don't really have anything like children or any of that to keep you from doing it, do it. After some time if there is an opening on a different shift, you can perhaps switch...

  12. supplies for pre nursing & nursing

    mirandaaa replied to mrichey's topic in General Students

    I would suggest getting your own laptop if you say your husband is on it most of the time. My Macbook has made a huge difference and I'm on it CONSTANTLY, using it for research and studying. There's...

  13. HESI???NCLEX???

    mirandaaa replied to BPerez32's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I don't think these two are comparable. The HESI is an entrance exam taken usually to apply to nursing school and covers a broad range of information to test your knowledge level. The NCLEX test is...

  14. What job be better while in nursing school?

    mirandaaa replied to WCSU1987's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't have any experience as an EMT, but I do as a CNA. I took a step back from working as a CNA because my last facility was a nightmare. I was extremely overworked and extremely underpaid and...

  15. What is considered a failing grade in Practical Nursing school?

    mirandaaa replied to linzipinzi's topic in Canada

    It just depends on the school. Some schools have different policies than others in regards to these

  16. I made a mistake and feel awful

    mirandaaa replied to kerussll's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    If you bog your mind down with "what-ifs" you're going to end up resenting nursing because you're always going to be thinking "what if I did this different, would the outcome have changed?" Yes,...

  17. Liking members at AN

    mirandaaa replied to Jules A's topic in General Nursing

    I haven't had to block anyone, and I've surely had my fair share of people I disagree with, but later will find we agree on a number of other things. I enjoy GrnTea and RedKryptonite a

  18. Ivy Tech Forum

    mirandaaa replied to ktmt24's topic in Indiana Nursing

    I have no clue about that one haha. I did start a closed facebook group for IVYT nursing students/hopefuls. Feel free to join!

  19. POST TEAS V SCORES HERE (ivy tech)

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

    I applied with all A's and an 82% on my TEAS so 142/160 points. I applied for the Crown Point/Valpo campus and am nervous because there are a lot of applicants that are close to my score! Also I...

  20. Ivy Tech Waiting on our acceptance letters for Fall 2015

    mirandaaa replied to kmccoy123's topic in School, College Programs

    I applied with 142/160 points to the ASN program for the Crown Point/Valpo location. Impatiently waiting for the letter! Also, I created a closed Ivy Tech Nursing group on Facebook if you would like...

  21. Ivy Tech Forum

    mirandaaa replied to ktmt24's topic in Indiana Nursing

    You can always search "Ivy Tech" in the search bar and you can see all the posts in regards to IVYT. Best I can

  22. How to afford cost of living during school?

    mirandaaa replied to emm13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Kinda similar to myself. Going to need to leave my salaried office job and find a PRN CNA job where I can work 2 doubles a week and keep my remaining 5 days free to focus on

  23. Having tattoos as a nurse

    mirandaaa replied to NeoNatMom's topic in General Students

    You can try a loose-fitting shirt underneath. Is it on your back? If so, you can just wear a tank top! I also struggle with underarm sweating (constantly and often for no reason!). I have yet to find...

  24. How to afford cost of living during school?

    mirandaaa replied to emm13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Read my post from last week and some of the comments: https://allnurses.com/pre-nursing-student/-quot-dont-work-987446.html Don't listen to anyone saying you can't work during school. Thousands of...

  25. Ivytech 2015 Fall Admission

    mirandaaa replied to sierracherise's topic in Indiana Nursing

    They will only take your most recent score. No
