  1. Spinoff From "Don't Be That Nurse"

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

    Posting this again because I think people are missing some of my comments within the post and only viewing the post itself: Thank you for those of you who gave great input and didn't just come on here...

  2. Proficient TEAS test??

    mirandaaa replied to wcai's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I'm unsure what you mean by that. Form B wasn't a practice test that I bought online, it was an actual test. I don't get to choose what form I take, the school I attend does. Wcai, same as what I...

  3. How to go from an 80 to a 90?

    mirandaaa replied to nursingjourney's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    For the science, I suggest going to Khan Academy. They go more in-depth about a lot of things than the ATI manual

  4. Spinoff From "Don't Be That Nurse"

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

    Bet you're one of those nurses who will hunt down an aide to wipe someone because you don't want to do it yourself.

  5. Spinoff From "Don't Be That Nurse"

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

    Thank you for those of you who gave great input and didn't just come on here to drop a negative comment about the post and then didn't even participate in what the actual conversation is about. I...

  6. Spinoff From "Don't Be That Nurse"

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

    It isn't an entire thread meant to be about rotten nurses. I think we can all agree there are both terrible nurses and great nurses. I'm not bashing nurses, nor is that the purpose of this post. I...

  7. How to go from an 80 to a 90?

    mirandaaa replied to nursingjourney's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Our scores were really similar! My Science was a bit lower than yours though. There's an article on here https://allnurses.com/teas-exam-help/how-i-passed-804222.html It goes down a list of...

  8. Do I retake my TEAS AGAIN?!

    mirandaaa replied to nursingjourney's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I would. You're kind of in the same boat as me, we can only take it twice in a 2-year period. I took my first one last week and am taking my next one towards the end of March. Your score was good,...

  9. Why Do You Want To Be A Nurse?

    mirandaaa posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It seems that there are so many of us striving to become nurses. We're all working ourselves to death trying to get good grades and get good scores on entrance exams. Some of us are doing better than...

  10. Is it possible to pay off student loans before finishing school?

    mirandaaa replied to BreBeeNeuroNurse's topic in General Students

    Agreed with Jenngirl. You would most likely need to work full time in order to successfully do this and basically "pay as you go" but my suggestion is to just pay a little at a time and not work full...

  11. Proficient TEAS test??

    mirandaaa replied to wcai's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I found the ATI book to be extremely helpful. I scored a 77.5% my first try (which is only .5% away from Advanced) and I really only used the ATI book to study and this was after not taking any of...

  12. My Nursing Identity Crisis

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

    This sounds ALL too familiar. I worked full time as a CNA for three years and during this time, I couldn't decide if I wanted to pursue a degree in Nursing or Mortuary Science. My third year of...

  13. Suggestions For Energy

    mirandaaa posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in my second and final semester of pre-reqs. I'm taking 4 classes at 12 credit hours as well as working full time, M-F 8-4. My schedule consists of work, coming home and eating dinner, hitting...

  14. Science/Math Section

    mirandaaa replied to erbarney92's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    The math is super, super, super basic. I was terrible at math my whole life and received a 90% on the section. The science is definitely the hardest, but as long as you study the ATI book, you will...

  15. Suggestions For Energy

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

    Huh, that's one I haven't heard before but I'm definitely willing to give it a try! That may not help with being tired but it will help me retain more, which would definitely be helpful. I'm not a...

  16. Nurses req. to be CNA's before becoming a Nurse?

    mirandaaa replied to Phoenix16, RN's topic in General Nursing

    I 100% think that this should be a requirement. It's astounding how many nurses I've worked with that feel they're "too good" to do "CNA work". By this I mean answering lights, helping taking patients...

  17. CNA interview vs Nursing school!

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

    You could always do it and then when you start school, cut your hours back to PRN or part-time. Working in the field while in school may come in really helpful because you can get "extra" training...

  18. CNA Certification

    mirandaaa replied to Daisy_08's topic in Canada

    Bayliedynell is even being generous at $14 an hour. I worked full time as a CNA for three years and only made $9.98

  19. Suggestions For Energy

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

    Oh I would KILL for 9 hours of sleep a night. Saturday's and Sunday's are my saving-grace because those are the two days I can sleep in (and I definitely do). As far as your thyroid goes, have you...

  20. Suggestions For Energy

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

    Emyaj, I eat pretty healthy! I have a pretty healthy lifestyle considering I work in an office. I eat a good breakfast of oatmeal and granola (eggs if I have enough time), lunch usually consists of a...

  21. Suggestions For Energy

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

    MamiLuv, I wish I could! My Anatomy and Physiology II, English Composition, and Communications classes are all online so it requires a lot of work and reading plus my Math class/homework every week. I...

  22. Last Semester at Community College: Feeling Really Unmotivated and Depressed. Need Advice

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

    Fully agree with HouTx. I'm 22 and am just now in my second (and final) semester of pre-reqs. After high school, I took 3 years off of school and it really was the best decision I could have made. In...

  23. I fainted today in OR:(

    mirandaaa replied to 164centimeters's topic in General Students

    A couple of fainting spells aren't anything to be too worried over (but perhaps being an OR nurse wouldn't be for you!). A long time ago when my mom was in nursing school, she told me that it was the...

  24. Taking TEAS V In One Week

    mirandaaa posted a topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Hello All! I'm mainly looking for more encouragement and tricks and tips than I am inquiring on what to study. I think I have a pretty good idea on what to study, but the science section is a killer....

  25. Taking TEAS V In One Week

    mirandaaa replied to mirandaaa's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    My Adjusted Individual Total Score was a 77.3% (Proficient). The National average is 64.3% and the Program average is 64.9% so I scored about 13% above the average. I was shooting for the 80s, but I'm...
