  1. Risk of getting your family members sick?

    Purple_roses replied to Pete_soon2bRN's topic in General Nursing

    Follow the appropriate precautions, wash hands often, take your shoes off before you walk around your house, launder your scrubs on hot, and shower when you get home. You should be

  2. Nclex vs uworld sata

    Purple_roses replied to milady_sohail's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If you can get the hang of Uworld SATA, you'll be fine on NCLEX

  3. I'm not sure I'm cut out for this

    Purple_roses replied to ItsThatJenGirl's topic in General Nursing

    There are plenty of nurses who didn't get into nursing for the pure love of people. But no matter your reason for getting into nursing, if you truly are a good nurse, it's a big deal--just like it's a...

  4. Help, did I get hired onto a sinking ship?

    Purple_roses replied to skydancer7's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know. I think most nurses are just used to the fact that they probably won't get their breaks, and sometimes not even a full lunch. I think it's become so common that instead of speaking out...

  5. Is it a bad idea to go to nursing school right now? (No more shortage)

    Purple_roses replied to Skippy97's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You won't have a hard time finding a job if you're willing to follow a couple of guidelines: 1) Location location location. Some areas of the US are saturated, some areas of the US are very new grad...

  6. New Grad RN Salary Range

    Purple_roses replied to MsBrain's topic in General Nursing

    Your chances of being hired may increase if you come from a good school, but I don't think where you came from usually translates to higher pay. How much you make will also depend on what area you...

  7. UWorld Scores

    Purple_roses replied to jennyabit's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Honestly, your scores on UWorld don't matter nearly as much as what you're learning from doing the questions and reading the rationales. UWorld is meant more to teach you rather than test you. When I...

  8. June 2017 NCLEX and PVT

    Purple_roses replied to tracyminter's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congratulations! I can relate to this! Test shut off at 75 and I thought for sure I had failed it. I was so depressed! I also felt like the test was somehow both too hard and too easy. There were...

  9. PVC'S and SVT leading up to NCLEX

    Purple_roses replied to HopefulGradNurse's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm still hoping you were just one of the unlucky ones where PVT gave you a false

  10. Passed the NCLEX!

    Purple_roses replied to NurseKylie7's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congrats

  11. PVC'S and SVT leading up to NCLEX

    Purple_roses replied to HopefulGradNurse's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I tried it. Just up until last hour it's been saying that my "results are on hold." I tried it again and got the good pop up, but it hasn't relieved any anxiety because I'm not sure if the "results on...

  12. PVC'S and SVT leading up to NCLEX

    Purple_roses replied to HopefulGradNurse's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I hope you passed! I've been reading a lot about the PVT and I just read about how one member here got the bad pop up, paid the $200 registration fee all over again, and then ended up passing. I think...

  13. Responding to annoying co-worker who asks you to work for them every week?

    Purple_roses replied to NurseUnforgetable's topic in General Nursing

    I bolded my favorite part here. I feel like most people go through a phase in their lives where they want everyone to like them. Boy was it relieving when I stopped caring about that! Be nice, be...

  14. Responding to annoying co-worker who asks you to work for them every week?

    Purple_roses replied to NurseUnforgetable's topic in General Nursing

    She sounds like the type of person who you should be polite to in the hallways, but shouldn't go out of your way to accommodate (otherwise she'll grow to expect it of you), and probably shouldn't give...

  15. Responding to annoying co-worker who asks you to work for them every week?

    Purple_roses replied to NurseUnforgetable's topic in General Nursing

    I would just say, "I'm sorry, but I can't." You don't owe her an explanation. And anyone who gets upset at you for not accommodating their every request isn't someone who's going to be your best bud...

  16. Charged with abuse for causing skin tears

    Purple_roses replied to ceneil76's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like management hopped on the case before OP had a chance to document it that day. While it's ideal to document as things occur throughout the day, I don't think it's always realistic. When...

  17. Best way to study from PowerPoints??

    Purple_roses replied to Jen51685's topic in General Students

    I typed up notes from the powerpoint and combined them with lecture notes, then used that as a guide for what to read in the book. Writing is definitely too time consuming, but typing worked super...

  18. Manager reporting confidential info to state board

    Purple_roses replied to geoda's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe we should have an underground society for health care workers who wish to seek mental help without it becoming everybody's

  19. PVC'S and SVT leading up to NCLEX

    Purple_roses replied to HopefulGradNurse's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I feel like I haven't been thinking as clearly either lately, and I'm missing questions that I know I could have gotten right. When I first started Uworld it was such a confidence boost because I was...

  20. PVC'S and SVT leading up to NCLEX

    Purple_roses replied to HopefulGradNurse's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I feel ya. I test in a little over a week. I did Kaplan through my school and have been doing Uworld. I have about 600 questions left to do. Right now my average score for Q-banks is 65%. I took the...

  21. Manager reporting confidential info to state board

    Purple_roses replied to geoda's topic in General Nursing

    That is INSANELY horrible. It's the opposite of what nursing is about. And it's especially awful because nurses can get in trouble for not reporting a situation like this. It puts everyone is a...

  22. Manager reporting confidential info to state board

    Purple_roses replied to geoda's topic in General Nursing

    This is what really sucks about our jobs. We're supposed to be there for patients, we're supposed to be understanding, we're supposed to give them support. But as soon as a nurse reveals he or she is...

  23. Unprofessional to mention you have other patients?

    Purple_roses replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

  24. What do I do now.

    Purple_roses replied to MissouriRN13's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a firm believer in learning lessons and covering your bases. Will you make another mistake again? Yes. But do you know how to cover your butt so that your mistakes don't result in loss of...

  25. Unprofessional to mention you have other patients?

    Purple_roses replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I mean, it's way better than just not accommodating the patient that very moment without an explanation. If you tell them you have other patients, it does a couple of things. First, it lets them know...
