  1. Can PRN's refuse insurance???

    mirandaaa replied to ashemson's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I always thought PRNs weren't given health/dental insurance benefits because their hours were never guaranteed. The way it was explained to me is if you only work a 5 hour shift and your insurance...

  2. TEAS Study Books

    mirandaaa replied to akl15's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Get the ATI Study Manual. You can find it on the ATI site for $70, but you can buy one brand new for $26 on

  3. Male student enters OB room. What do you think?

    mirandaaa replied to truckinusa's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I'm a little confused... Why would delivering a food tray get you in trouble and kicked out? Is it as keylimesqueez said, because they are not allowed to eat? Surely they would have something...

  4. **HELP!!*** New & Lost to the Nursing World

    mirandaaa replied to sophia33's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There's really no way to answer this since all schools are different. You need to look into potential schools you're interested and speak to someone from the school about what their requirements are...

  5. Meal plans for nursing students with families

    mirandaaa replied to e16nurse's topic in General Students

    PINTEREST!!!

  6. Did anyone feel this way when they first started working as a CNA?

    mirandaaa replied to FNP2B1210's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    CNA school teaches you the basics of the job, but work is what teaches you how to actually be a CNA. In school you learn proper hand washing, oral cares, peri-cares, state laws to follow etc., but on...

  7. What does a typical day of a CNA consist of?

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

    I lol'd at the code browns. I could write a book on the amount of stuff that goes on as a CNA! Just remember that one person's routine may not be what yours is; you have to figure out what works best...

  8. How did you study for the Teas V?

    mirandaaa replied to BrittneyDavis's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Definitely 100% get the ATI study manual! They sell them on the ATI site for about $70 but you can get them brand new on Amazon for $26. I studied for about 2 months. Off and on during the week when...

  9. I Love Night Shift

    mirandaaa replied to NurseOnAMotorcycle's topic in General Nursing

    Night shift is seriously the best for every single one of those reasons! I can't wait to get back on the night shift routine :) Also, don't forget: #12: No bosses/higher ups or state inspectors to...

  10. What does a typical day of a CNA consist of?

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

    Well to be truthful, there's really no way to answer this and be consistent because everyone has a different routine and it depends on the shift and the facility and even who you're working with....

  11. Super nervous for the TEAS!!!

    mirandaaa replied to jkinsella2010's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Take a small break between sections (like between English and Math, for example). Taking 5 minutes to breathe, tinkle (if needed), and get a drink gives your brain a nice break before focusing on...

  12. Shift Work vs Monday to Friday - Which would you prefer?

    mirandaaa replied to MaleNurseYH's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly, I prefer the 4 on 5 off. I worked 12 hour nights with that shift and although the 4 on were brutal, the 5 off were wonderful. I currently work Mon-Fri 8-4 (weekends and holidays off) and...

  13. S.O.S. diapers checking- NEED HELP!!!

    mirandaaa replied to seagull_'s topic in General Students

    I think what OP is asking is how to open the brief without damaging the tabs that hold the brief on/closed so if the resident/patient is clean, they can close the brief again because the tabs weren't...

  14. "Why are you leaving your current job so soon?"

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

    Definitely this. You don't need to report it to your potential new employer, but the proper parties do need to be made

  15. Helpful Flashcard Site

    mirandaaa posted a topic in General Students

    I've noticed on a lot of social media sites (I'm a hashtag creeper) that there are tons of nursing and pre-nursing students using handwritten flashcards. Which is fantastic! Flashcards are great! But...

  16. Becoming a nurse is ruining food!

    mirandaaa replied to Red Kryptonite's topic in Nursing Humor

    I actually lol'd in the middle of my quiet office and received some great looks from my coworkers. One of my good friends has her BSN and works in a hospital and when her, her boyfriend, my...

  17. "Why are you leaving your current job so soon?"

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

    Just be honest but not overly detailed. Just explain that you've decided after your time there that the facility wasn't for you and you are just looking to work in a better facility for staff and...

  18. The Wait for Community College Nursing Program -_-

    mirandaaa replied to MarquieshaH's topic in General Students

    I sent you a private message. Check your inbox when you get a

  19. Help!! nursing school background check.

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

    I suggest just speaking to your school program advisor and ask him/her if he/she has any concerns about it just to double-check for your situation. But I really can't see this being a huge issue. Good...

  20. Chamberlain Nursing School... Is it worth it?

    mirandaaa replied to MarquieshaH's topic in Chamberlain College

    Good luck! One of my good friends is a nurse in Chicago and loves it. Hoping to be there soon too and I hope to see you in the

  21. Chamberlain Nursing School... Is it worth it?

    mirandaaa replied to MarquieshaH's topic in Chamberlain College

    There is absolutely no way I would pay that much for school. In all reality, you would be able to attain your dream job even with having attended a community college for a fraction of that. From what...

  22. Help!! nursing school background check.

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

    It wasn't TN, but my mom had the same thing on her record and she was able to go to nursing school and has had no issues getting a job with it either. That is such a small charge in all reality that...

  23. Should I retake this class?

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

    You should make sure you are even able to retake. Some schools don't allow retakes unless it's a D or

  24. Can a CMA teach a MA class?

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

    I'm 99% positive it has to be a

  25. Able To Take NCLEX-PN While In School For RN?

    mirandaaa posted a topic in General Students

    Hi, I have (what may be) a silly question. I plan on being accepted into the RN program at my school (still waiting for my acceptance, but I have a feeling). While I was talking to one of my...
