  1. Question about clinicals??

    PurrRN replied to Iwannabeababynurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I believe every school works independently on how they schedule ANY and EVERYTHING, so first check with your school. My situation is odd in that my nursing class is a satellite offshoot of a large...

  2. Heaven now has another Angel

    PurrRN replied to tigger2sassy1's topic in General Nursing

    My condolences go out to you!

  3. Most RN's first borns?

    PurrRN replied to lvs2nrs3535's topic in General Nursing

    Hmmm...alcoholic father AND mother, but an only child. I guess that puts me in the role of eldest. Interesting theory but not one I'd put much stock into.

  4. Most Challenging?

    PurrRN replied to blueyesue's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I personally found Microbiology to be the most challenging class I've taken to date. I'm just finishing up my first semester of NS and the amount of time I have to take to understand the concepts...

  5. Has anyone felt pulled towards nursing...

    PurrRN replied to SarasotaRN2b's topic in Nursing Career

    Don't waste time in life wondering.....if you feel this is something you would love to do, then do it. There are numerous people our age going back to school to get their nursing degree's. One...

  6. I got rejected again

    PurrRN replied to nurse2btracy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Chin up......sometimes we encounter obstacles in our life that seem so daunting. Stay true to what you want and never give up. In my early twenties I wanted to be a nurse, but let life and people...

  7. Can I Do This!!!

    PurrRN replied to needaway23's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The first thing I want to say is that you are the only person who knows what you can and cannot do. If you have a desire to go to college I say try, try, try. Go to the college and talk to a...

  8. Taxes Of The States

    PurrRN replied to katilpz's topic in International Nursing

    Well, hmmm, lets see.....depends on the state you are in because different states have different rules. But there are also different taxes so I'm not sure which you are wanting to know about. There...

  9. Charge Nurse Position = Required?

    PurrRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    As a very new nursing student there are LOTS of things that I'm still trying to understand about the real world of nursing, so I'm just trying to understand something about this position. Several...

  10. Professionalism...

    PurrRN replied to rninme's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with NRSKarenRN about the decrease in professionalism across all professions. Personally I think this is a societal issue which is becoming more rampant. People (generally as a whole) are...

  11. Is applying 2 multiple schools a given?

    PurrRN replied to springgarden's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would apply to another school if that is an option, just because you have no idea how many other people also have 9/10 and are competing for that one slot. Of course, only you are in a position of...

  12. Very Interesting Article (long, but you have to get to the last page)

    PurrRN replied to deannicholas's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    The most interesting thing I found about the article was their purported finding of narcotized air above the patient. I think more in depth investigations need to be performed if this is the case. I...

  13. Illegible Handwriting

    PurrRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Okay, so I realize that illegible handwriting by doctors is not a new problem, but honestly.....is it really too much to ask that something so important as medication orders and patient treatment be...

  14. What job can I get now?

    PurrRN replied to bisson's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sure that you'll get better advice than mine, but I wanted to chime in for support. I think it depends on your state whether you can work as a CNA. I'm in my first semester of NS, but we were...

  15. Illegible Handwriting

    PurrRN replied to PurrRN's topic in General Nursing

    I want to thank everyone for their insight. It's just 1 of a million things that have been a concern of mine. I realize of course that the right thing to do is to clarify with the doc, I guess I...

  16. IV air bubble compensation

    PurrRN replied to JL123's topic in General Nursing

    Me too, me too! Being a new student, ANY air bubbles in IV lines freak me out. So how much is too

  17. ROTC Questions

    PurrRN replied to DLS_PMHNP's topic in Government, Military

    Hi Diane, just wanted to give my perspective for what it's worth. I personally have great regard for military service, having served 7 years from '92-'99 (Army). I have been an Army spouse now for 6...

  18. 1st semester NS burnout?

    PurrRN replied to PurrRN's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Whaaat? Heather, I'm sorry you are having this problem. Seems to me that if you have "passed" all of your competency's, they shouldn't be able to fail you. That just seems wrong to me. I know that...

  19. 1st semester NS burnout?

    PurrRN replied to PurrRN's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  20. 1st semester NS burnout?

    PurrRN replied to PurrRN's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thank Goodness, I'm not alone. At the beginning of the semester I felt fine, but now I feel SOOOO stressed and like everything I do is wrong. My focus has fallen apart, and I'm just ready to...

  21. Ethics Violation-Would you remain silent or challenge the system?

    PurrRN replied to MissJanelle904's topic in General Nursing

    This scenerio is just an example of what I percieve to be one of the biggest problems in our society. The willingness of some people, to overlook the specific wrong action of a person (group of...

    PurrRN replied to Lisky90's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so sorry, my heart goes out both to you as the caregiver, and to family and patient as they face this, oh so difficult situation. This has got to be one of THE most difficult situations in direct...

  25. What is your passing percentile?

    PurrRN replied to Achoo!'s topic in General Students

    At my school in MO, passing is 75%, no rounding up and 74.9% is failing. This is my first semester though, so I don't know if they change percentages as we
