  1. Getting a puppy and working 12 hour shifts?

    Purple_roses replied to Hwills94's topic in General Nursing

    I would be worried about that combination. I'm sure there's a way you could figure out the long shift issue, but once that German Shepherd gets bigger, I really don't think I would feel comfortable...

    Purple_roses replied to CDub72's topic in General Students

    If you followed the Kaplan plan to a T (took all the question trainers, did the practice tests,watched all the videos, and did at least 90% of the Qbank, etc.) and still failed, they allow you to...

  3. Seeking Educational Advice: Should I repeat an RN Program? - (and why I'm considering it)

    Purple_roses replied to CDub72's topic in General Students

    Well that is a tough question, and I'm just as torn as you are. If you did not go back to nursing school: -You could buy LOTS of resources to help you pass NCLEX. Your school sounds like it really...

    Purple_roses replied to somedaynursing's topic in General Students

    There are several overweight students in my class and they've made it to the end and have jobs lined up! If you have other physiologic symptoms, such as joint pain or severe shortness of breath while...

  5. ADHD with or with out Meds?

    Purple_roses replied to melissakay01's topic in General Nursing

    I'm intrigued. One of the downsides to my medication is that when I take it, everything is usually fine, but if I ever forget to take it, that day is absolutely miserable. I almost feel drunk/mentally...

  6. ADHD with or with out Meds?

    Purple_roses replied to melissakay01's topic in General Nursing

    As a student with ADD, I can manage school very well without meds, but my home life (relationships, finances) falls apart. With meds, I've done very well in school, have thoroughly enjoyed...

  7. Nursing is the Biggest Mistake of My Life

    Purple_roses replied to almost_nurse's topic in General Nursing

    That fiance has gotta go. I feel like I don't even need to know more about your situation to know that the fiance is the problem here. I'll bet you would find a job no problem if you felt comfortable...

  9. HELP !

    Purple_roses replied to mohdadawee's topic in Michigan Nursing

    If you've just graduated or just about to graduate, you can apply to "New Grad" positions. They will be listed as such on the hospital's website. You'll usually need to obtain your RN license within...

  10. Soon to be new grad, looking for advice

    Purple_roses replied to mysticallstar's topic in General Nursing

    There's no harm in applying to the med/surg positions at your hospital of choice right? I would apply to that while also seriously looking into the smaller hospital. I think it's smart of you to...

  12. What should I do - Abusive Instructor

    Purple_roses replied to neuron's topic in General Students

    Most schools have a chain of command, and when that chain is broken, all that happens is the faculty gets frustrated with the students. The chain of command ensures that the dean doesn't hear every...

  13. What should I do - Abusive Instructor

    Purple_roses replied to neuron's topic in General Students

    Okay. Deep breaths fibroblast. First of all, nursing school is a very frustrating place to be. It's just a different kind of schooling, and it's hard to explain it exactly, but you now exactly what I...

  14. Classmate Spilled Coffee On My Laptop - Broken

    Purple_roses replied to waterdrifter's topic in General Students

    I would ask her to be accountable for what the cost would be if you had bought a warranty. Get warranties on expensive things so that you're not out $600 when things go wrong. I can see it from both...

  17. BSN salary?

    Purple_roses replied to Kaitlyn.w's topic in General Nursing

    My hospital (Michigan) does not offer additional pay for obtaining a BSN, though they do require a BSN within a few years of hire. All RNs at this hospital start at $25 base pay. The pay you take home...

  18. First semester of nursing school

    Purple_roses replied to NS94's topic in General Students

    Those sound like nursing prerequisite classes. Those classes will most likely be content heavy with an emphasis on memorization. In those classes, reviewing my notes several times and making...

  19. Preceptor burnout

    Purple_roses replied to QuarterLife88's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    As a new grad, I really feel that it's absolutely ok for you to feel this way. And you should be able to express those frustrations somewhere. Not everyone is going to love teaching, and that's very...

  20. Drug testing in Nursing Programs? (Anoka Ramsey CC)

    Purple_roses replied to sillycracker456's topic in General Students

    I mean...if the OP continues to smoke, chances are high that someone on the staff full of nurses would raise an eyebrow at some

  21. Study Practices in Nursing School

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

  23. Drug testing in Nursing Programs? (Anoka Ramsey CC)

    Purple_roses replied to sillycracker456's topic in General Students

    A kid in my class originally passed the initial drug screen, then got kicked out a semester later because she wasn't expecting a random screen. I'll be blunt--we all thought she was an idiot--so much...

  24. Can I be a nurse with a mental illness?

    Purple_roses replied to Edt997's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There are so many nurses out there with mental health disorders. But we don't know you. We don't know your history or the severity of your illness, so we can't be good judges of what would be safe or...

  25. Showing critical thinking

    Purple_roses replied to Alto22's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I tell my instructors information before they ask me about it. For instance, if you're giving furosemide, tell your instructor about your client's BP, serum K, I/O, and any symptoms such as edema,...
