  1. CNA vs CMA ??

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

    I think it depends on where you work. In LTC facilities, the CMA/QMA is essentially just there to pass meds and take blood sugars. They get paid more than CNA's as well. In the places I worked, they...

  2. "That" co worker

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

    I have definitely, 100% been there and it is very frustrating. My first step in this situation was to tell the nurse in charge, hoping she would speak with her, but of course when I went to her for...

  3. First Clinical

    mirandaaa replied to futurepsychrn's topic in General Students

    I think you did what you were able to. I have 3 years of experience as a CNA in LTC facilities and to be honest, the staff that work with these residents know more about the habits than the students...

  4. Need above an 83%....help

    mirandaaa replied to Nurmita's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Your 78.7% is actually a pretty decent score. What makes you say you have to have an 83% or above? How many times are you allowed to take the TEAS? (My school was only twice in two years). As far as...

  5. Want to be a nurse, just no butt wiping or other yucky stuff please

    mirandaaa replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    This entire post has me rolllling hahaha. So good. "You mean....I have to touch

  6. Ivy Tech TEAS V for fall registration

    mirandaaa replied to ktmt24's topic in Indiana Nursing

    The advisors at my campus tell everyone the same thing! I had a good TEAS score but I applied to both just in case. "They" all say tons of things at my school and one "they" is never the same as the...

  7. Nursing Student ground rules

    mirandaaa replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    Agreed. These are people you're more-or-less "stuck with" for quite a while; may as well get used to

  8. What did you take Anatomy with

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

    Last semester I took A&PI, Intro to Psych, Health Careers, and Medical Terminology. This semester I'm in A&PII, Quantitative Reasoning (math), English Comp, and Intro. to

  9. Early Anxiety

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

    I completely understand your anxiety. I definitely wish I could quit my job and rely solely on family but it's just not possible. I'm going to have to work full time (if I am able to keep my current...

  10. Ivytech 2015 Fall Admission

    mirandaaa replied to sierracherise's topic in Indiana Nursing

    I thought the TEAS was bad but this waiting stuff is awful

  11. Ivytech 2015 Fall Admission

    mirandaaa replied to sierracherise's topic in Indiana Nursing

    You should definitely be good then! I wouldn't worry too much if you can help it. I was really worried about missing something or screwing something up on my app, too, but I just triple-checked...

  12. Ivy Tech TEAS V for fall registration

    mirandaaa replied to ktmt24's topic in Indiana Nursing

    This is an old post but.... I think you have a pretty good shot with your score! The TEAS is definitely a hard one. I scored a 77.3% on my first try and then an 82% on my second and I haven't heard...

  13. Ivytech 2015 Fall Admission

    mirandaaa replied to sierracherise's topic in Indiana Nursing

    So many Ivy Tech-ers! Sweet! Hoping I see some of you in Fall 2015 at my campus :) I applied with an 82% on my TEAS and all A's in my 3 pre-reqs so that gives me a total of 142/160 points. I'm...

  14. How long did it take you finish your prerequisites?

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

    I think it depends on the school. My school only has 4 required prerequisites (for both PN and RN programs) which can be completed in one semester full time. But I know this is super minimal compared...

  15. I didn't pass my TEAS the first time

    mirandaaa replied to jaims27's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Buy the ATI Study Manual. It's about $70 on the ATI site but you can get new ones much cheaper on Amazon. There is also THIS article which gives a detailed list of what is on the TEAS and what to...

  16. Who else is waiting for an Acceptance letter?

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

    Omg the wait is the worst part! I thought studying/taking the TEAS was bad, but this waiting crap is for the birds...and I have just begun my wait! I turned in my application on Tuesday and letters...

  17. TEAS Test Retake!

    mirandaaa replied to mirandaaa's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Hmmm I'm not entirely sure what you're asking. 83.3% was my overall score on the English section, but there were 3 sub-sections scored within it (Grammar and Word Meanings in Context, Spelling and...

  18. TEAS Test Retake!

    mirandaaa posted a topic in TEAS Exam Help

    OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so relieved and so happy! My first score was a 77.3% and Proficient. My retake was today and here are my new scores: Total: 82.0% Advanced National Average: 64.3% Program...

  19. LIAR: ADN RN prompted to lie about holding a BSN... is it passable?

    mirandaaa replied to kitkats4breakfs's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I highly doubt the OP was really considering lying about her credentials. This appears to be nothing more than a hypothetical question out of

  20. TEAS Test Retake!

    mirandaaa replied to mirandaaa's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Well, I found it was less about repeatedly taking the test and more about knowing the material. I don't have any issues with running out of time and taking the practice tests are best for showing you...

  21. I Think I Did It

    mirandaaa posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took my TEAS retake yesterday and scored an 82% in the 93rd percentile for my program! Other than A&P I and II the last two semesters, I haven't been in a Science course since high school...

  22. Failed out of school, what are the chances of getting into school?

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

    I'm not sure how/if that would affect you. I attended a CC a couple years ago and although I didn't fail out, I had terrible grades (same with my high school career). I have a 4.0 now this semester...

  23. Made the same score on the retake of the teas!

    mirandaaa replied to Alexmad1's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I'd probably do the second. Since Nursing is a science major, they'll probably be most interested in your higher science score than your higher reading/math

  24. Able To Work Business Hours?

    mirandaaa posted a topic in General Students

    Posting in the General Nursing Student forum because I want to direct this to students who are enrolled and currently taking classes in the nursing program. For my school, before applying to the ASN...

  25. Able To Work Business Hours?

    mirandaaa replied to mirandaaa's topic in General Students

    But I wasn't legally emancipated. I moved out 3 months before my 18th birthday and going through the process wasn't worth the time and money. Believe me, I've gone through every inch of the FAFSA...
