  3. Cross Contamination?

    mirandaaa posted a topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    Not sure if this is in the right topic, so admins, please change if incorrect. Today I donated blood, as I have done several times before (but always through ARC). Today was through a different...

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

    This is basically exactly what my mom told me when I told her I was having issues memorizing areas in anatomy. She said, "Don't focus on memorizing; it won't get you anywhere. You need to understand...

  5. "Topics To Review" Aftering taking the test the 1st time?

    mirandaaa replied to Ibethel1's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    mirandaaa replied to sierracherise's topic in Indiana Nursing

    I've only had 1/4 of my classes this semester post my final grades and I'm already religiously checking the mailbox twice a day hahaha. My boyfriend was like, "I love the feeling of anticipation for...

  7. "Don't Work" Isn't An Answer

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

    Yep, I have phone, rent, utilities, internet, car payment, car insurance, medical insurance, medical bills and a plethora of other things. No way in hell can I get by without working to pay those...

  8. "Don't Work" Isn't An Answer

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

    Yeah I wouldn't even attempt working in the anesthetist school. My mom is in the process of going through that and basically told me she won't be able to work at all for about 2 years. But I figure...

  10. Nurses have an Attitude Problem

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

    I think we can all calm down now; this was obviously a troll post. 7 pages and 79 comments later and not one response from the OP. Next post,

  12. Ivytech 2015 Fall Admission

    mirandaaa replied to sierracherise's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Anatomy was worth 30 points for an A, Psych was worth 15 for an A, and English was worth 10 for a B. So you should have 126/160 points. Good

  13. Ivytech 2015 Fall Admission

    mirandaaa replied to sierracherise's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Yep, it's based on where you live. So if you live an equal distance, I'm assuming they'll match everyone else to their closest location first and then you (and whomever else is in the "in the middle")...

  14. Microbiology is killing me

    mirandaaa replied to tbird88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Firstly I would like to say I'm sorry to hear about your breast cancer. I sincerely wish you the best and hope you can get rid of it permanently. Secondly, if I were you, I would speak to the...

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

    I just wanted to give a big THANK YOU to all of you who have commented and given personal examples and testimonies of the ability to work and attend school. It's great to see that so many were able to...

  16. I have a random CNA Question

    mirandaaa replied to Cinnibun2618's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    This is such common sense to me that I didn't even think to mention it lol. I was more stating that it IS something that happens, but not that it happens for all

  17. I have a random CNA Question

    mirandaaa replied to Cinnibun2618's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Yes, you will do patient cares with family members present. It's good to announce to them that you're going to help so-and-so with cares and sometimes they'll excuse themselves to let you do your...

  18. "Don't Work" Isn't An Answer

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

    I really prefer to rent textbooks since it's so much cheaper than buying, but my school has been doing this thing where you don't have a choice and the school books are "included" in the tuition so...

  19. "Don't Work" Isn't An Answer

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

    I'm sure for the last semester or two I'll be able to cut down to part time as long as I'm able to continue saving money before I get there but I definitely won't be able to for the first two...

    OP is definitely the common denominator in this

  21. "Don't Work" Isn't An Answer

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

    Completely agree. Make sure something like that is okay, but generally it's a no-no. As my previous supervisor said, "There is always something that can be done." Nights can sometimes be a different...

  22. "Don't Work" Isn't An Answer

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

    You are definitely very lucky! I've found that a lot of medical employers are more flexible and lenient on their employees that are in school for something medical because they are understanding. But...

  23. "Don't Work" Isn't An Answer

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

    Honestly, working nights and having day classes isn't that bad. Before going into nursing and I was just taking regular college courses, it worked out because I would work 11p-7a, have class from...

  24. "Don't Work" Isn't An Answer

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

    There would be thousands less nurses in the world if this was still a standard kept today. It just isn't possible for many people to attend school and not work. Also, I never said that this was even...
