    PurplePRN replied to greeneyedgal's topic in General Students

  11. Thoughts on taking Microbiology in Fall with first semester Nursing courses?

    PurplePRN replied to larma's topic in General Students

    Honestly, I wouldn't do it. Take it before or in the summer between nursing semesters. The first semester is like boot camp and being hazed all at once. Make things as easy on yourself as possible....

    PurplePRN replied to KnK0809's topic in General Students

    I can't imagine how torn you are. I have three children. There is no way I could live without them. I'd drop school and live paycheck to paycheck first. In fact, I waited until my children were older...

  17. How about some positive nursing school/job stories for us newbies?

    PurplePRN posted a topic in General Students

    I officially start "real" nursing school next week. No more prereq's. Time for the real deal. Of course, I'm super nervous, as are all of us newbies. It's a bit off putting to see all the recent posts...

    PurplePRN replied to PurplePRN's topic in General Students

    LOL! I generally have this type of attitude as well. But ya know, sometimes even the strongest, most determined, no nonsense type still need a splash of water to the face. I was voicing my concerns to...

    PurplePRN replied to sjc11's topic in General Students

    I just bought a 6 pack of disposable pen lights on amazon. While I haven't used them yet, they seem great. They have the pupil sizes marked on the side and I'll have plenty of spares if I loose
