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

    mirandaaa replied to mirandaaa's topic in General Students

    That's really great advice actually. I hadn't even thought of it. Really the only reason why I am considering it is because I work business hours Mon-Fri 8-4 right now and once I start nursing...

  2. What to expect on first day as a CNA?

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

    It'll be overwhelming for the first few days. You'll likely be trained for a week or two before being set off on your own. For me the hardest part was learning the routine. Make sure you pay attention...

  3. Starting to think there should be some limits...

    mirandaaa replied to roser13's topic in General Nursing

    This whole statement is flawed. Your wording on the original post implies that you were upset/angry/irritated/whichever adjective you want to describe your tone. "I just posted something that was on...

  4. English (Career) Assignment

    mirandaaa replied to AshleyC2015's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Well to be honest, I think interviewing others is a great idea, but I don't think doing it through an online forum is the way to do it. I feel if a student wants to interview a nurse, or any other...

  5. Nursing instructor question: flipped classrooms?

    mirandaaa replied to jrsbsn's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I feel like this is a great thing. I feel like I can focus so much more on learning things when I am at home but I actually WORK better in the

  6. Can we just agree, being honest is not akin to being "rude"?

    mirandaaa replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in General Nursing

    Literally could not have put this any

  7. English (Career) Assignment

    mirandaaa replied to AshleyC2015's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I don't think the point they're making is that you need to go interview a nurse for anything. The point being made is that instead of doing this through a public forum and asking things for personal...

  8. Staffing issues in LTC

    mirandaaa replied to Littlebit9's topic in Nursing Career

    As much as your concern for the well-being of the residents and other staff members in the LTC facility is heart-warming, you have to be able to save yourself. If this is something that is greatly...

  9. Starting to think there should be some limits...

    mirandaaa replied to roser13's topic in General Nursing

    Completely agree. Nobody is forcing anyone to read anything. If you see something is repetitive or you have a feeling it's a homework question, then just skip over it :) I feel as if this is a great...

  10. 25/50 students failing anatomy avc

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

    Last semester, my friend and I had A&PI and we were lucky to have an easy-going teacher and managed to pass with A's. This semester, I decided to take my A&PII online and my friend took hers...

  11. Successful nclex prep

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

    I mean realistically, you can always get the ATI study tool on top of other NCLEX study materials and even if you didn't actually use the ATI tool and you pass the first time, that $1000 bonus would...

  12. what is a job as PRN? how do you become one?

    mirandaaa replied to futurenurse93_'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    ^^ What Brandiep said, look into CNA PRN positions. They get paid a pretty decent amount, especially for a CNA position. Where I worked before, we would fill out an availability calendar and if they...

  13. RNs!!!! Did you fail Any classes???

    mirandaaa replied to dinah77's topic in General Nursing

    Omg I am dying

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

    mirandaaa replied to mirandaaa's topic in General Students

    I knew they were a little different, but I figured if I were already in the RN program and had a chance to get my LPN (without straying from my current RN course) then I probably would just to get a...

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

    mirandaaa replied to mirandaaa's topic in General Students

    Do you know if this is something that would be posted on the BON website by chance or is that something I'm better off speaking to someone

  16. What's the best way to pay your bills and go to school full time???

    mirandaaa replied to jlamar11's topic in General Students

    It really just depends on your job/pay. I'm about to begin the RN program soon and I don't have an option but to work during school. Right now I make enough to float my bills on 40 hours a week, but...

  17. life's vexing moments--its the little things..

    mirandaaa replied to elijahvegas's topic in General Students

    Well, I'm not a nurse (yet) but I'm had similar experiences as a CNA. Just little things like the shift before left only one wipe in the pack so now I have to go all the way to the storage closet for...

  18. Studying for TEAS V test

    mirandaaa replied to Heatherbrrtt's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I used the ATI Study Manual and it was great. There is also THIS article which lists everything you should study for. I had test form B and not everything on that list was on the test, but...

  19. I feel discouraged....

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

    Okay but seriously, where is the nurse and/or supervisor for these things? Mechanical lifts are 100% always supposed to have two people assisting. That's not a facility rule, that's a mandated...

  20. I feel discouraged....

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

    I don't feel as though the other CNA babied you; you definitely should have a working relationship in which both CNA's communicate what needs to be done and who does what and when. Different people...

  21. Got rejected by nursing school...HELP?..

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

    That's crazy you were rejected with that GPA and TEAS score. What were the requirements for the school you

  22. Ivy Tech TEAS V for fall registration

    mirandaaa replied to ktmt24's topic in Indiana Nursing

    I'm actually really surprised at the amount of South Bend applicants I've found on this site. I was expecting to see more from Valpo/Gary than anything. But I've never been to South Bend so I guess I...

  23. night shift nurse

    mirandaaa replied to Coley1218's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Yeah no wonder you're up all night haha! It's good to get a lot of sleep after you've worked all night but it makes it worse to sleep later if you sleep all day. Definitely try limiting your sleep...

  24. Ivytech 2015 Fall Admission

    mirandaaa replied to sierracherise's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Technically you only have to apply at either Gary or Valpo since they're considered part of the same nursing program. When they get the applications for Gary/Valpo, they determine which accepted...

  25. night shift nurse

    mirandaaa replied to Coley1218's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Not every post on this site needs to be a question. It's a forum site and can be used for tons of things other than inquiries. (P.S. It's hard to read tone in text and my response appears ruder than...
