  1. My coworker was high and got away with it

    Purple_roses replied to Volley88's topic in General Nursing

    I'm surprised you reported someone over a snap chat that you saw while sneaking a peak at his phone. That's a serious accusation. You've probably made yourself a couple of enemies

  2. Nursing is not for you if you don't have a burning passion for it?

    Purple_roses replied to .CJ.'s topic in General Students

    I think your instructor is a

  3. invalid Hesi question or just tricky

    Purple_roses replied to the-needle-pusher's topic in General Students

    Telling patients not to take certain meds with alcohol is true for so many meds out there. It's kind of like when a pharmacology question asks you about med side effects--if nausea and vomiting is on...

  4. invalid Hesi question or just tricky

    Purple_roses replied to the-needle-pusher's topic in General Students

    I think it's because the question wants to see if you know the specifics of that med. If a patient doesn't know that it takes a few weeks to kick in, they may get discouraged and stop taking

  5. I need advice

    Purple_roses replied to climbingmountains's topic in General Students

    Does your school have a rule that you get kicked out of the program if you fail 2 nursing classes? If so, would these be the only two for you? If the one class is truly a lost cause--I mean there is...

  6. Clinicals make me feel so dumb...

    Purple_roses replied to missSB's topic in General Students

    How nervous were you when you first started driving as a teenager? If you were like me, you were super nervous, had to actually remind yourself to check/adjust your mirrors, and were terrified of...

  7. Nursing caps

    Purple_roses replied to SunshineDaisy's topic in General Students

    That's a bummer that you don't get your cap! I certainly wouldn't want to wear it on the job (I think I would fidget with it all day), but I like it for pinning. Maybe it's because it's...

  8. How does a student fail clinical?

    Purple_roses replied to nsm1639's topic in General Students

    Had the student already completed her 3 checks or had she merely pulled the bottle out and began the process of her checks? I feel like that's a mistake the student may have caught on her own once she...

  9. Failing mean this isn't for me?

    Purple_roses replied to mininurse24's topic in General Students

    I agree. 5% is a huge amount to fail by. Something went super wrong. We don't know enough about you to know what went wrong or if you have what it takes to keep going. I think you should figure out...

  10. Should i postpone the NCLEX exam?

    Purple_roses replied to newmom17's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I would still take it as scheduled. Look through the analysis of all of these tests. Do you notice any patterns? Is there a specific point in each test where you notice you're starting to get...

  11. Math requirement for RNs?

    Purple_roses replied to llg's topic in General Nursing

    My personal opinion is that very few students would get into a nursing program without having these basic math skills underneath their belts. I couldn't take my nursing prereqs without either taking a...

  12. Kaplan Predictor Test

    Purple_roses replied to Kdunn062307's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    What have you done so far within the Kaplan system to prepare? Do their Q-bank and question trainers and be sure to remediate on every question. And watch the video resource for the Kaplan Decision...

  13. How does a student fail clinical?

    Purple_roses replied to nsm1639's topic in General Students

    Many schools have a policy about this. If the instructor doesn't notify the student that there's a problem at least by midterms, the instructor can't fail the student (unless it was for an obvious...

  14. How does a student fail clinical?

    Purple_roses replied to nsm1639's topic in General Students

    Wow....that was ballsy of

  15. How does a student fail clinical?

    Purple_roses replied to nsm1639's topic in General Students

    You can fail clinical if you prove yourself to be an unsafe nurse. It sounds scary, but I only know of one person in my program who failed the clinical aspect of a class. It doesn't happen as easily...

  16. How well do nurses need to know anatomy?

    Purple_roses replied to VanessaTitoyan's topic in General Nursing

    Well, if this is for a prereq Anatomy class, I'm guessing you'd want to know it pretty well so that you can get into your nursing

  17. Advice on where to go from med-surg?

    Purple_roses replied to danedsel's topic in General Nursing

    One of my instructors gave me some advice for interview questions to ask that may give you a feel for how well the floor is doing. I know you've already obviously accepted this position, but maybe...

  18. How many hours did you work during prerequisites?

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

    The hours you'll be able to work will probably depend on your job. I worked as a home-care CNA during my prereqs, and my supervisor told me that I could bring my books and study whenever my clients...

  19. Sick of the BS

    Purple_roses replied to Helluvanurse33's topic in General Students

    You don't have much time left in school from what it sounds, so it might be too late for this. But my philosophy is not to discuss grades. Whenever people ask me what score I got on a test or project,...

  20. Long Term Care Nursing is Lame

    Purple_roses replied to purplegal's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    This was clearly posted to get a rise out of people, but I'll bite. Ha. The nurses at the long term care facility near me get slightly higher pay and better benefits than I'll be getting in acute...

  21. What do you do when a long-term patient says they want to die?

    Purple_roses replied to jess124's topic in General Students

    I'm not good when it comes to these things. One of my patients said this during my critical care rotation. I didn't know what to say because I would have wanted to die in her situation too, but of...

  22. Will I get kicked out of nursing school?

    Purple_roses replied to Happymango's topic in General Students

    If anything did happen, I don't think it would be complete dismisal from the program. I would think they would fail you in that particular class (if they even do that) before they kick you out of the...

  23. Will I get kicked out of nursing school?

    Purple_roses replied to Happymango's topic in General Students

    How far into the nursing program are you? The reason I ask is because my nursing program is more lenient to 1st semester students, while a 4th semester student would fail for a single safety...

  24. Nursing students who want to be NP's

    Purple_roses replied to Teaching the future's topic in General Nursing

    I have CNA coworkers in nursing school who have told me they hate nursing and intend to be NPs. My response is always, umm....NURSE Practitioner. NURSE. You will still be a nurse who deals with...

  25. Is nursing still for me?

    Purple_roses replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    That makes sense. If that's the case and you feel that you and your provider have found successful methods for addressing bipolar, my vote is that you go get your RN once you've allowed yourself to...
