  2. Taking time off?????

    mirandaaa replied to melissa2222's topic in General Students

    Firstly, don't believe anyone who says you won't go back. If you have the dedication and the desire, you will. I was not a great student in high school. I just didn't like it. After I graduated, I...

    mirandaaa replied to mirandaaa's topic in General Students

  7. Failed A Course...

    mirandaaa replied to Kyliemb's topic in General Students

  9. Failed A Course...

    mirandaaa replied to Kyliemb's topic in General Students

    I don't need to be a nurse preceptor to be able to tell that I sincerely hope you reconsider nursing if you're going to play the "blame game". I'd hate to work with someone with your

  14. Failed A Course...

    mirandaaa replied to Kyliemb's topic in General Students

    There seems to be an awfully long list of finger-pointing going on here and not taking any blame for yourself. If you truly feel that you were treated so unjustly, why would you try to continue going...

  15. No Jobs for New Grad ADNs

    mirandaaa replied to KayRN2015's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Maybe look into places like LTC or clinics (if you haven't already). You'll have more luck in those areas than if you're applying for a hospital

  16. Potential PCT Position - Good Thoughts Appreciated!

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

    Did you have any prior experience? The thing I'm concerned with is that I have no prior hospital experience. I have 3 years of FT CNA experience in LTC, but this would be my first time in a

  17. Potential PCT Position - Good Thoughts Appreciated!

    mirandaaa posted a topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Good thoughts/vibes, crossed fingers, and prayers (if it's your thing) are so appreciated! I'm starting nursing school in August. My biggest stress so far has been "what am I going to do for work"...

  20. How much did your nursing program cost overall? (LPN, ADN, BSN, etc.)

    mirandaaa replied to kariace's topic in General Students

    mirandaaa replied to mirandaaa's topic in General Students

    mirandaaa replied to diamondp17's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    mirandaaa replied to mariarose's topic in General Students
