  1. Charting as a Nursing Student/Graduate Nurse

    Purple_roses replied to ITNurse1977's topic in General Students

    1) Yes. 2) Yes. I was able and required to document all nursing care in the flow sheets, as well as document within the Progress Notes. The only thing I was unable to do was acknowledge a new order...

  2. Patients Say the Darnedest Things

    Purple_roses replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

    That's so

  3. Patients Say the Darnedest Things

    Purple_roses replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

    Elderly patient: "I've always been religious and have always believed in heaven, but I just don't know anymore. I mean, how in the world are we all going to fit up there?" For the record, I made her...

  4. ER nurses

    Purple_roses replied to MoserK's topic in General Nursing

    I cared for a patient who had committed murder once. It may sound weird, but I try to picture what these people were like as little kids...everyone was an innocent little kid

  5. About to graduate!

    Purple_roses replied to sroberts3's topic in General Students

    I feel the same, though I'm sticking around the area and will still be near the friends I've made in nursing school. Crazy as it is, I kind of enjoyed nursing school. I really liked my instructors,...

  6. Gender, a fluid social construct

    Purple_roses replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Hahaha...ok, so I read the OP without looking at the username. And I thought "what in the world??? What is this person even really asking? Did this actually happen? Surely he would never tell a...

  7. How to handle lazy CNA's?

    Purple_roses replied to CedarGirl10's topic in General Nursing

    The thing here though is that nobody is holding a gun to her head and forcing her to work as a CNA. I was a CNA for 3.5 years. It sucks to get stuck with the worst job duties while barely scraping by....

  8. Waitlisted... Any advice?

    Purple_roses replied to greenclover16's topic in General Nursing

    Apply to other nursing programs. Also, getting into PT school is also

  9. NP or PA*** PLEASE HELP

    Purple_roses replied to jaye927's topic in General Students

    I've been looking into this as well. I'm not even sure if I want to go to grad school yet, but I am considering it as a future possibility. From what I understand, going from BSN to NP may be a...

  10. I feel like I failed my interview

    Purple_roses replied to Yive's topic in General Nursing

    Don't freak out yet. I think we all tend to remember things as worse than they actually were and beat ourselves up about stupid things that others may not have even picked up on. Don't send an email...

  11. Feel stupid for having BLS question (getting ambu bag ready first)

    Purple_roses replied to Zithromax's topic in General Nursing

    I think it would be stupid of you *not* to ask when you have questions, especially a question about a code. I'm a new grad (haven't taken NCLEX yet), so I sympathize with how you feel--not wanting to...

  12. Can somebody assist me in understanding this question?

    Purple_roses replied to waterdrifter's topic in General Students

    I hate these sorts of questions and sympathize with your frustration. Who cares which culture is most at risk...tell all women to do self breast exams. That's my opinion

  13. Has anyone gone through nursing school with depression?

    Purple_roses replied to trapstudent's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    ((Hugs)) I'm glad you now have a diagnosis. There's your first

  14. Should I start out on night shift?

    Purple_roses replied to heather.verbs's topic in General Nursing

    I took the shift I was offered. Half of my orientation will be on the day shift (according to my manager, this is to learn where my resources are and to learn how to handle everything that tends to...

  15. Looking for nursing "Cliff Notes"

    Purple_roses replied to Lemon Bars's topic in General Students

    Saunders NCLEX Review really helped me in this area. You'll still need to dig into your book and lecture notes in order to pass tests, but Saunders does a really good job of wrapping everything up....

  16. who take Nclex RN exam in May?

    Purple_roses replied to Maria128's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I haven't scheduled it yet, but I'm getting my ATT number next week. I'm hoping I'll be able to test in May. Are you feeling a little anxious about it? Because I am too

  17. question about nurses on methadone

    Purple_roses replied to Ntheboat2's topic in General Nursing

    If I had proof that a nurse gave someone's employer info about prescribed meds that person was on, I would be very tempted to report the nurse for a HIPAA violation. That's just

  18. How would you react? Body odor discussion.

    Purple_roses replied to Nurse-rachet1's topic in General Nursing

    I get that, but you had issues with the family, the administrator (you mentioned this could have been retaliation from a convo you'd had with her an hour earlier), and the charge nurse. If I read it...

  19. How would you react? Body odor discussion.

    Purple_roses replied to Nurse-rachet1's topic in General Nursing

    You seem to have a "history" with a lot of people. Just

  20. Used CPR on my neighbors toddler today... it wasn't enough... warning, graphic..

    Purple_roses replied to NursingInChaos's topic in General Nursing

    I've been following this thread and I cried reading this update. You saved his

  21. Majoring in nursing but I am huge germaphobe. How will this work?

    Purple_roses replied to KariT's topic in General Students

    The good news about nursing is that hand sanitizer is literally everywhere. It's usually right outside each patient's room. So you can wash your hands with that, put gloves on, take care of the...

  22. Check out my new do!

    Purple_roses replied to Scottishtape's topic in General Nursing

    Congrats! Good luck on NCLEX! You'll smash

  23. My coworker was high and got away with it

    Purple_roses replied to Volley88's topic in General Nursing

    What in the world else is there for you to do? You saw what you thought was an issue and brought it to the attention of apparently everyone. You basically launched a full-scale investigation on this...

  24. My coworker was high and got away with it

    Purple_roses replied to Volley88's topic in General Nursing

    Ok, let's say he did indeed eat edibles on 4/20. And let's not get into the whole debate about whether or not we think people should use marijuana. Just because he ate edibles one day does not mean he...

  25. A Review of Kaplan vs Hurst vs UWorld - I Used All 3

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

    Thank you for this! My school makes us buy Kaplan. I've found that the Q-bank questions are good for figuring out what I know and don't know, but I agree that the rationales suck. I usually look...
