   VioletX replied to Rena RN 2003's topic in General Nursing

   I'd sell them on Ebay.

2. Altering Scrubs?

   VioletX replied to FutureNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

   I've never had scrubs altered, but I would say to buy your current size. Its much easier to fit into something too big instead of something too small. I've had problems in the past when I purchased clothing that was the size I wanted to be instead of...

3. Good or Evil?

   VioletX replied to Monist's topic in General Nursing

   I don't understand why you felt the need to post this.

4. speech impair

   VioletX replied to Masters's topic in General Nursing

   I don't have a speech impairment, but since I was born I have had fine tremors in my hands. I was really worried about it growing up because I was always afraid I would not be able to be a nurse with this handicap. Sometimes it is barely noticeable b...

   Hi, I just graduated last Saturday 5/8/04! I can't believe its over!! I am starting my new job in Labor and Delivery on June 7th. I'm very excited. I'm petrified about boards though. Will be studying my @$$ off until then. Congrats all!:balloons:

6. What colors do you wear?

   VioletX posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

   I am about to start a new job in a LD department. We have two colors to choose from: blueberry and periwinkle. To me they look the same. I was just wondering what colors other people wore, or if you have any idea where I can order scrubs in these col...

   VioletX replied to Ninet's topic in Ob/Gyn

   It is a nurse's responsibility.

8. Do You Have Any Favorite OB Myths?

   VioletX replied to BabyRN2Be's topic in Ob/Gyn

   My sister is pregnant now and she told me the other day that she knew she was having a boy because she was on bottom during sex. I think thats the stupidest thing I have ever heard, and I told her so too.

9. Do You Have A Favorite Area in Nursing?

   Labor and Delivery I haven't graduated yet (05/08/04) but I have an interview on Tuesday and I can't wait!!

10. Have you ever noticed ...

    VioletX replied to VioletX's topic in General Students

    I am not saying that it should be a "nursing school" assessment. I don't even do that and I'm in nursing school. But you know, heart and lungs are always important, pain, skin integrity. Then whatever is specific to that patient. Most nurses I know p...

11. Have you ever noticed ...

    VioletX replied to VioletX's topic in General Students

    My preceptor was exactly the same way. She hardly ever did anything related to patient care while I was on the floor. Anytime I asked her a question she would either answer "I don't know" or "look it up" and then had the audacity (?) to write on my ...

12. What to do when U know others are cheating...(in classes)

    VioletX replied to KBnursestudent's topic in General Nursing

    This was a major issue in my class. I say, worry about what you are doing only. There is no reason in college to act like you are in 3rd grade. It is not your job to be hall monitor.

13. Have you ever noticed ...

    VioletX posted a topic in General Students

    I was just curious if any other nursing students have noticed this ... Working on the floor I have noticed throughout all my clinicals and also my preceptorship that ALOT of nurses don't perform assessments. I've also noticed that many nurses don't e...

    VioletX replied to PrincessNursing's topic in General Students

    I am a BSN student graduating in about 3 weeks! YAY! Anyway, to answer your questions ... at the school I attend we are not allowed to perform procedures on ourselves or other students as it is seen as "an uneccesary intervention". I won't say I have...

    VioletX replied to mandykal's topic in Geriatric

    I don't care that they are from a different time period, times have changed and if the person is AA&O then I do not have to and will not put up with being degraded. You can make any excuse you want about being from some other time or having a har...
