  1. What do I do now.

    Purple_roses replied to MissouriRN13's topic in General Nursing

    What if you're having a heart attack? Would you go get treatment or pray that God takes care of it? I would venture to say that you can do BOTH, but I would also say that if God really is up there,...

  2. What do I do now.

    Purple_roses replied to MissouriRN13's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not going to get into whether this was patient abandonment or not; either way, you already know that what you did wasn't a smart decision and I'm sure you've learned a lot from it. It sounds like...

  3. I need a loan but can't get a cosigner

    Purple_roses replied to kendleh's topic in General Students

    I realize this, and I'm not trying to imply that I think it would be easy or fast for OP to go this route. What I am saying is that OP seems to have exhausted other options and can either sit out and...

  4. I need a loan but can't get a cosigner

    Purple_roses replied to kendleh's topic in General Students

    Unfortunately, I don't have advice on how to get a loan. I'm sure you've already considered all of your options, but just in case, here are some things that immediately popped into my mind: --School...

  5. Accusation Against Male Nurse (Me)

    Purple_roses replied to Lapzs's topic in General Nursing

    Personally, I don't think this has anything to do with you being male or female. From what I read (and how the CNA acted), this probably isn't the first time she's felt that you're being lazy. Also,...

  6. ER GN Quitting Smoking - Any tips?

    Purple_roses replied to AlmostERnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think it's stupid of you to wait to quit until you absolutely had to--it's just the nature of addiction. I don't have any advice to give to you as I haven't been there myself, but I wanted to...

  7. Academic Cheating and Future?

    Purple_roses replied to janedoe54321's topic in General Students

    It's pretty ironic that you were caught cheating on an ethics test...I'm sorry, but I have to laugh at

  8. Discrimination for being a new mom?

    Purple_roses replied to Karn88's topic in General Nursing

    It is my personal belief that this was not a case of favoritism, nepotism, or discrimination. However, even if it was favoritism--even if it truly was not fair and should not have happened--the...

  9. Nursing is not what it is made out to be..

    Purple_roses replied to ModernRN's topic in General Nursing

    This is so true! I *wish* people treated me as well as I treat my cat! I'd like to nap in the sun all day and get nom-noms for simply being

  10. New grad - to quit or wait it out?

    Purple_roses replied to TXRN1119's topic in General Nursing

    If this were me, I would quit the med surg job and take the full time home health job. As far as your plan to quit and then apply to another facility within the hospital system to get around the...

  11. Discrimination for being a new mom?

    Purple_roses replied to Karn88's topic in General Nursing

    I would want to transfer from that floor simply due to the hiring trends. Your manager keeps hiring new grads and considers the nurse with 6 months experience to be the "experienced" one on the floor?...

  12. Nursing to Medical School

    Purple_roses replied to doctor2bM97's topic in General Nursing

    Your GPA absolutely will not raise by taking nursing courses, if that's what you're getting

  13. Not learning from my preceptor?

    Purple_roses replied to Student2017555's topic in General Nursing

    I can picture him trapped and melancholically staring at his lasagna, wishing it was a

  14. Soon-to-be RN, need to work nights (DSPS), best specialties?

    Purple_roses replied to thepilgrim1923's topic in General Students

    I really think that as a new grad especially, any and all specialties will require a lot of brain power, regardless of the shift. There is much to learn! The good news is that you probably won't ever...

  15. Ten Things A Nurse Doesn't Want to Hear

    Purple_roses replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

    This was great! I am quite happy with not being a slave to school or work and still making a comfortable living. And yes yes, those sexy doctors. That sexy cardiologist who looks like an oompa...

  16. Can Nurse Practitioners Become Doctors?

    Purple_roses replied to VanessaTitoyan's topic in Advanced Practice

    Technically, a person with a degree in English can get accepted into med school. People traditionally go the premed or biology route for their undergrad, but it isn't

  17. Not learning from my preceptor?

    Purple_roses replied to Student2017555's topic in General Nursing

    pixierose, BSN, RN I love that you referred to the preceptor as being trapped. I don't know why that painted such a funny picture in my mind, but it

  18. Clinicals

    Purple_roses replied to ADN_Is_Complete's topic in General Students

    When I was in school, they tried to send us to the closer one. However, they also let us choose people we wanted to be in clinical with. I always got put at the further clinical sites, but I got to do...

  19. Not learning from my preceptor?

    Purple_roses replied to Student2017555's topic in General Nursing

    As a newbie myself, I literally sympathize with you because I'm afraid of this happening. My orientation is split so that half is on the days, then the last half will be on nights as I transition to...

  20. Should I be cleaning my mobile phone?

    Purple_roses replied to NurseIAm0613's topic in General Nursing

    Just be careful not to wipe your actual phone screen with the antibacterial wipes, because it can progressively remove the protective coating that many smart phones have on the

  21. Nursing is not what it is made out to be..

    Purple_roses replied to ModernRN's topic in General Nursing

    Well that's all fine and dandy that you're not asking for opinions or discussion, but that's not a fair request for an internet forum. lol. Which specialties have you been in? Think it might be time...

  23. Workplace Harassment forced me to resign

    Purple_roses replied to Drgnfy13's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think you should feel guilty for quitting. You removed yourself from a toxic environment, and sometimes that's what we have to do to take care of ourselves. I definitely am not trying to make...

  24. Normal Saline q24 orders

    Purple_roses replied to neuron's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    To add onto what's already been said, IV bags and IV tubing each usually have stickers on them that will tell you the date/time the bag/tubing was hung and the date/time that it needs to be

  25. I quit the PA rat race.

    Purple_roses replied to Non Sequitir's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I tend to agree with you for the most part. I've met some people who are eager to spend as little time as possible at the bedside before starting their NP careers. As a new grad, the thought of doing...
