  1. Hello everyone, gotta a question for Texas students

    PurpleMyst posted a topic in Texas Nursing

    Hi everyone, although I've been lurking and learning this is my first post. I'm going back to college after a 20 year absence and planning on a nursing career. I've been doing a lot of reading and...

  2. If you could study before A & P I, what would you have done to get ahead before it??

    PurpleMyst replied to vizzle's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with a lot of the people here, I would start getting very familiar with the bones and the muscles. It is a lot of memorizing. For our lab exams we were handed a sheet of paper with lines...

  3. A & P 1

    PurpleMyst replied to PrincessHappyPants's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow Polka-dot you give some excellent tips and help! I think I will be looking at your stuff too! Thank

  4. A & P 1

    PurpleMyst replied to PrincessHappyPants's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi P.H.P, I know exactly how you feel! I thought I was going to fail or get a low grade for our first A&P lecture test simply because this class is very different than all the others. There is a...

  5. A&P 1 class too easy?

    PurpleMyst replied to rukia's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Your class does sound too easy. We actually have an M.D. teaching our A&P I class and he is very fair but it's the most difficult class I've had so far. We have to know tons of details, we have...

  6. Why is it top secret? ;) (grades)

    PurpleMyst replied to Miss_Piggy.RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've never heard of that. At my school the teacher keeps all grades confidential (meaning, the teacher shows you your grade only, not others) but if I feel like telling people my grade the teacher...

  7. Funny essay by an ER doc.

    PurpleMyst replied to bekindtokittens's topic in Emergency

    OMG:eek: I will never look at another pharmacist in the same way again! His blog is funny, frustrating, scary, and outrageous all at the same time! Thanks for sharing, a different perspective is...

  8. HCC ADN Fall 2008 Applicants

    PurpleMyst replied to RnBound0510's topic in Texas Nursing

    I was in there earlier in the day and when I signed in it said they were doing maintenance work. I think it will be down tomorrow as

  9. How does a nurse pick HERSELF up when everyone keeps kicking her down?

    PurpleMyst replied to docpsychrn42's topic in General Nursing

    I just had an idea. What if you go to the unemployment office? They might be able to find out why you were terminated and also if they're giving bad references which I don't think they are supposed...

  10. odor

    PurpleMyst replied to pmw2007's topic in General Nursing

    I used to have a manager that started smelling bad. I kept asking him "what is that smell?" He never smelled anything. He also kept blowing his nose a lot, and his office was full of tissues. I...

  11. inappropriate comment made by RN in front of patient

    PurpleMyst replied to uscstu4lfe's topic in General Nursing

    I understand that this nurse may have had a bad day, or she just didn't THINK when she responded to your question. I would just approach her and let her know how badly she made the patient feel and...

  12. inappropriate comment made by RN in front of patient

    PurpleMyst replied to uscstu4lfe's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I'm not a nurse but common sense and mere human decency would prevent me from ever saying something like that. I guess being the big mouth that I am sometimes (new nurse or not) I would go to...

  13. can you be successful in nursing if

    PurpleMyst replied to tryingtobecome's topic in General Nursing

    Are you interested in science at all? I don't like math but you try to get through it as best as you can. I have always loved science and over the years I've always read about it and watched it on...

  14. PLEASE can anyone and everyone please help me

    PurpleMyst replied to tryingtobecome's topic in General Nursing

    If you have internet access you should be able to look up some of the schools in your area. You could start checking out your local community college online, most of them have the catalog and class...

    Thanks so much for posting this info. it gives the rest of us hope! Best of luck to

  16. I am giving up

    PurpleMyst replied to tryingtobecome's topic in General Nursing

    DO NOT GIVE UP! Listen to everyone here, don't hang around with people who can't support you. Sometimes people are negative because they're jealous too. Take one step at a time, start with one...

  17. A&P II or Microbiology for 10 wk summer?

    PurpleMyst posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi all, I need some advise/opinions, which would you take in a 10 wk summer class A&P II or Microbiology. Which in your opinion would be easier to handle in a short 10 week session by itself?...

  18. A&P II or Microbiology for 10 wk summer?

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

    Ouch! I honestly don't think I could handle that. My biology teacher (she also teaches A&P I) told me most people in her online A&P class were failing or dropping and still she asked why...

  19. A&P II or Microbiology for 10 wk summer?

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

    Yes, you're right it is subjective. I just finished biology last semester and after being out of school for over 20 yrs I was startled at how fast the teacher was going. I had 2 other classes as...

  20. A&P II or Microbiology for 10 wk summer?

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

    Well, I actually don't think we'll be working with anything real in the lab for A&P II because they have a website with a cat and I think a pig but no real hands on there. I'm just trying to...

  21. HCC ADN Fall 2008 Applicants

    PurpleMyst replied to RnBound0510's topic in Texas Nursing

    It would be wonderful to know how you are doing in your program (at cy-fair?) because then we could compare. I know how it is when you encounter strange people with bad attitudes but I'm hoping that...

    PurpleMyst replied to RnBound0510's topic in Texas Nursing

    Thanks for your support, I am happy to hear that you're doing so well. I hope you continue to succeed. Please let us know periodically how you like it (or don't like it) I am subscribing to this...

  23. HCC ADN Fall 2008 Applicants

    PurpleMyst replied to RnBound0510's topic in Texas Nursing

    No offense, but I'd rather hear from people who are attending the program rather than someone who is just judging from the outside. It's not helpful to those of us who might decide to enter the...

    Hi, can anyone taking pharmacology at HCC tell me what text books you are

  25. terminated

    PurpleMyst replied to lynn0808's topic in General Nursing

    This kind of thing happens in many places, not just in nursing. It sounds like this job was making you sick. I have worked in hostile environments before with bad health effects for my trouble. I...
