  1. Which one did you do while in Nursing school?

    mirandaaa replied to Mchs4735's topic in General Students

    Yeah I will also have to work full-time. But I figure if I can break all my hours down into only working 2 days (sometimes 3) then it would probably work pretty well especially if I can break up my...

  2. Which one did you do while in Nursing school?

    mirandaaa replied to Mchs4735's topic in General Students

    I'm in the process of getting a PRN PCT position. I'd like to work two 16s and an 8 a week if I can. I only have class twice a week and clinical once a

  3. You should know better

    mirandaaa replied to adventure_rn's topic in General Nursing

    Alcohol (I mean come on, I'm only 22!) and motorcycle riding (of course not at

  4. DaVita PCT interview tomorrow

    mirandaaa replied to xNurseWannaBx's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Gotcha! Some people go in for interviews in scrubs when they really should have been wearing nice clothes to make a good impression. But if she told you to and it was for a reason then that makes more...

  5. What have you guys taken while waiting for your acceptance letter?

    mirandaaa replied to Lurdes777's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Co-reqs are required courses that are not nursing courses and aren't required as a pre-requisite but you have to complete them before you graduate nursing school. Biology, chemistry, microbiology,...

  6. What have you guys taken while waiting for your acceptance letter?

    mirandaaa replied to Lurdes777's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Have you completed all your co-reqs already as well? Otherwise you can look into getting your CNA license and perhaps getting some experience in that area for a while. Will come in handy later when...

  7. Working Options for Nursing Students

    mirandaaa replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    Although I am a CNA and fully agree that I do feel that everyone with prior CNA experience is a little ahead of the ballgame, my one issue with it is that CNA jobs unfortunately do not pay well. (I...

  8. DaVita PCT interview tomorrow

    mirandaaa replied to xNurseWannaBx's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I hope you didn't wear scrubs to your

  9. Should I Take TEAS

    mirandaaa replied to ChelseaCatherin's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Don't take the TEAS if you don't need to. It's an entrance exam that covers materials from 9-12th grades. It's pointless to take if you don't need it. There are some programs that require it, some...

  10. Ok Class of 2017, Where are you??

    mirandaaa replied to Wifeoffireman's topic in School, College Programs

    More coffee is always a plus. I'm a big coffee drinker already; I'm thinking I should hit up the coffee brands I use and see if they'll sponsor me for nursing school hahaha. And your ideas are very...

  11. How to get used to/deal with the inconsistencies of per diem work

    mirandaaa replied to BertG77's topic in Agency Nurses

    Unfortunately that's the way it goes when you're classified with that type of employment. I would say look for another similar position and see if you can even out your hours between the two places...

  12. Ok Class of 2017, Where are you??

    mirandaaa replied to Wifeoffireman's topic in School, College Programs

    I'll probably buy most of mine for future reference/study materials for the NCLEX, but I know there are a few that some of the students literally have not opened lol. I'd rather just rent those since...

  13. How does the TEAS work?

    mirandaaa replied to jarae's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I still don't suggest taking it more than twice even though the BSN program allows more, just because if you don't get in there and you take it more than twice, you'll be ineligible to apply to other...

  15. So Embarrassing

    mirandaaa replied to BSNbeauty's topic in General Nursing

    UMM???? Pretty sure nurses are just as qualified to do the same things as the CNA's are. Although it may be a normal CNA duty, a nurse is just as able to do it. Maybe the CNA was busy and she had...

  16. How does the TEAS work?

    mirandaaa replied to jarae's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    My school only allows 2 takes in a 2-year period and they have to be no less than 30 days apart. Don't get test-crazy and take it a bunch of times because it may immediately disqualify you from...

  17. Ok Class of 2017, Where are you??

    mirandaaa replied to Wifeoffireman's topic in School, College Programs

    I used bigwords for my pre-requisites! I was considering getting some info from current students on books because there are some that we are required to use for multiple semesters so it would make...

  18. What Are The Differences Between CNA/PCT? Different PCT Certification?

    mirandaaa posted a topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Hello! I have a current CNA license that I've had for about 5 years. I was employed full-time for about 3 years and then 2 years ago I took a step back out of the CNA work d/t finding a better-paying...

  22. Ok Class of 2017, Where are you??

    mirandaaa replied to Wifeoffireman's topic in School, College Programs

    You literally spoke my mind haha. I do get bored, I used to be able to spend a lot of time at work (I work in an office) doing homework/studying and now I have all this free time lol. BUT, I am all...

  23. Typical Hospital Interview Questions

    mirandaaa replied to mirandaaa's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Psh, I am great at that! I was the only CNA for 26 people at my last place. My time management is excellent No phlebotomy skills as of yet. But I'm hoping that since I'm starting the RN program in...

  24. Typical Hospital Interview Questions

    mirandaaa posted a topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Just wondering what questions are normally asked during PCT hospital interviews. I know that all places are different, but just as a general idea. I've only worked in 3 places as a CNA and they were...
