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

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

    Absolutely agree with everything you

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

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

    I'm glad to have received so many positive stories from nurses who were able to do both (even when told they

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

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

    I currently work in an office but with nursing school getting nearer, I've been considering going back to PRN CNA work since it's flexible and I can support myself on PRN pay. I'm not sure if I can...

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

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

    Omg too funny! And so true! I would way rather work myself to death working and going to school for two years than spend the next 30 paying back a totally unnecessary debt from taking out living...

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

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

    That's basically exactly how I am. I'm a serious routine person, I love having a daily routine and I stick to it pretty well. These past two semesters consisted of work during the day, gym after, then...

  6. Asking a higher rate

    mirandaaa replied to guest769224's topic in Travel

    Omg

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

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

    That's great! I love successful working-during-school

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

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

    It just drives me insane because it always seems to be on posts where someone is asking for advice on a good job to apply for while in school and there's always that one person that says, "Oh don't...

  9. Thinking about becoming a CNA but...

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

    I'll help with what I can! Firstly, don't believe that you can't work while in school; tons of people do. I'm in a similar boat where I work Mon-Fri 8-4 currently and I will not be able to keep that...

  10. Help! Should I take CNA position at a lower pay than current job in order to get into RN

    mirandaaa replied to RVTtoRNmaybe's topic in General Nursing

    It just depends on the school! Some make it a requirement to have your CNA license, but most don't. I personally feel as though I gained a lot of knowledge about healthcare while working as a CNA,...

  11. I failed nursing school one week before graduation.. now what?

    mirandaaa replied to kbates57's topic in Nursing Career

    Definitely this. You'd be amazed at how often instructors mistakenly mis-grade, mis-enter, or forget to enter something entirely which can significantly drop your grade. I'm not sure how things are...

  12. Teas v

    mirandaaa replied to Jlschneider1395's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Firstly, make sure you are even able to take the test so soon after taking the first time. Most places require a certain amount of time between takes (if you take it before the allotted time, you may...

  13. Did anyone find that they had enough time for the TEAS?

    mirandaaa replied to ilikecorgis's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I had extra time left over after every section. I made sure to go through quickly the first time and make a note of the ones I had issues with or knew it was going to take longer to figure out, then...

  14. does this drive anyother CNA nuts?

    mirandaaa replied to mvm2's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I didn't know it was even legal to take the CNA test without taking the class! Where I'm from, you were required to take so many hours of in-class and clinical setting learning before being allowed to...

  15. Why did my financial aid advisor say this?

    mirandaaa replied to Nursing pursuit's topic in General Students

    To be truthful, I've never heard of anyone maxing out on school loans but it is best to pay as you go if you're able just so it's less to pay back later and less interest will

  16. Why did my financial aid advisor say this?

    mirandaaa replied to Nursing pursuit's topic in General Students

    Usually if you're still enrolled in school, making payments aren't required but depending on the loan, your interest may start accruing immediately or it may not begin until after you finish school....

  17. Adjusted Individual Score

    mirandaaa replied to Molly12's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Each section is weighted with a different percentage, so that may be why you aren't getting the correct final amount. English and Science are both worth 30% of the TEAS each and Reading and Math are...

  18. HHA - How-to advice, please!

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

    As weird as it sounds an as rude as it seems, yes, you can just waltz right in if you like. I would usually do just a quick couple knocks before coming in, just to announce my arrival. But as a...

  19. Is this lifestyle possible in Alaska?

    mirandaaa replied to rearviewmirror's topic in General Nursing

    I used to live in Alaska. Super beautiful and tons to do (mainly during warm months). Of course I wasn't a nurse there so I can't attest to that, but where there are people there are (usually)...

  20. WHATS THAT SMELL???

    mirandaaa replied to lumbarpain's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    You can't get c diff. from smelling the odor of contaminated feces lol. It's a contact bacteria; you'd have to touch something that came in contact with the actual bacteria in the feces and then touch...

  21. Anyone received their acceptance/denial letters?

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

    You won't receive it until sometime between mid-May and mid-June. They have to wait for the current semester to end (which is May 8th) in order to count the points for those pre-requisite classes in...

  22. Teas with no a&p 1or 2

    mirandaaa replied to ldb1018's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Honestly, because I hadn't taken science in a while I took about 2 months to study because I knew I needed to relearn a lot of stuff. Something that is super helpful is THIS ARTICLE. It was written...

  23. Teas with no a&p 1or 2

    mirandaaa replied to ldb1018's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Not true at all. I scored an 82% and Advanced on my TEAS and my last science course was in 2010 in high school. I did have a college Anatomy I class the semester before I took the TEAS, but there are...

  24. Does it matter where you go to nursing school?

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

    This doesn't necessarily make a difference. My mom went to an accredited community college, nothing fancy, and managed to work in some pretty important hospitals and clinics in the area and is going...

  25. Can PRN's refuse insurance???

    mirandaaa replied to ashemson's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Ahhh you are absolutely right, I didn't even think of that. When I was a PRN it was before the ACA became
