  1. I was a stripper ..

    Purple_roses replied to FutureLPNNursing's topic in Nursing Career

    Well, if your end goal is to be a stripper and house flipper, why not just concentrate on that? If you didn't like being a CMA, I doubt you'll like being an

  2. Should I SUE?

    Purple_roses replied to hollyday's topic in General Students

    From what I can gather from this thread, it seems to me that the OP was simply assessing. It doesn't appear that the OP attempted any nursing interventions

  3. Client vs Patient

    Purple_roses replied to srercg's topic in General Nursing

    The clients that I see in home care (or the majority of them at least) do NOT want to be called patients. They don't want to feel sick or needy. They want to live their lives outside of hospitals or...

  4. Are test banks allowed if the professor doesn't use them

    Purple_roses replied to wendy2016's topic in General Students

    Do not use it. Like others have said, there are oodles of study resources out there. Why use one that makes you nervous enough to ask a question about it on

  5. Should I SUE?

    Purple_roses replied to hollyday's topic in General Students

    Well wait just a minute. I feel like details need to be clarified. Were you dropped from the program because you waited 20 minutes to notify the nurse about your patient's condition, or were you...

  6. Ever in situation something should be done but reluctant to do

    Purple_roses replied to brhrcr's topic in General Nursing

    Bold is mine. Are you a nurse? Is it possible that what you may see as neglect is simply nursing judgment that you don't fully understand? If you truly do believe that abuse/neglect is going on, no...

  7. Patient hygiene

    Purple_roses replied to Wondersnevercease's topic in General Nursing

    I had a client like this. She sat in urine for literally hours. I would come in every 20 minutes trying to get her to come around. Sometimes patients just won't budge. Do you know why she's reluctant...

  8. Clinicals

    Purple_roses replied to Nurse2b.lexii.p91's topic in General Students

    The school can get away with doing this, thought it's definitely ****** of them. This happened at my school and the faculty simply said, "Well, we told you to be flexible." They gave less than a...

  9. Public Schools and transgender bathrooms.

    Purple_roses replied to imintrouble's topic in School

    Do you think this is the first time someone has been sexually harassed in a restroom? By the way. Female. Visual.

  10. Being a pre-med is so overated

    Purple_roses replied to Ambreree's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah they aren't taking dosage calc: they're taking physics and

  11. Don't think I can do this

    Purple_roses replied to Ortmannk's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not going to give you advice, because I'm not a nurse yet. But, I will say that it's probably still an option for you to become a paramedic. One woman in my cohort became a paramedic before...

  12. 5/14 WILTW: Healthcare Gymnastics and Revolving Doors

    Purple_roses replied to LadyFree28's topic in General Nursing

    I'm mentally pushing the non-existent love

  13. 5/14 WILTW: Healthcare Gymnastics and Revolving Doors

    Purple_roses replied to LadyFree28's topic in General Nursing

    I learned that I've become much more comfortable with saying "no," even to wives of hospice clients. I used to have a very hard time saying no to patients who requested me frequently, and I ended up...

  14. Public Schools and transgender bathrooms.

    Purple_roses replied to imintrouble's topic in School

    Right. And my point is that what's been said in this thread is not off topic. Off topic would be if someone started questioning President Obama's

  15. Are nurses generally more attractive

    Purple_roses replied to rfms's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    One of my exes said, "So, you'll probably make enough money to support a family. Like, I could even be a stay-at-home Dad." We didn't date much more after

  16. Are nurses generally more attractive

    Purple_roses replied to rfms's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Wow. That was dramatic. A member asks about the relevance of your research and suddenly that member is an unfit

  17. Public Schools and transgender bathrooms.

    Purple_roses replied to imintrouble's topic in School

    I personally feel that everything that has been said here is relevant, because it's important to know how people really feel about these issues. I'm sure school nurses will hear a whole host of things...

  18. Public Schools and transgender bathrooms.

    Purple_roses replied to imintrouble's topic in School

    Let's avoid the whole issue where you truly do believe transgender people are mentally ill for now. Even IF they were mentally ill, you never tell someone they're abnormal. I feel like that's nursing...

  19. Public Schools and transgender bathrooms.

    Purple_roses replied to imintrouble's topic in School

    If only 2% of the population is transgender, then why on earth are you worrying about this? How is that minuscule 2% honestly going to have an effect on you? and if you "deck the crap" out of someone...

  20. Public Schools and transgender bathrooms.

    Purple_roses replied to imintrouble's topic in School

    You do realize how difficult it often is for transgender individuals to "come out," right? Do you know how often they face bullying? I highly doubt a teenage boy will lie about his identity and face...

  21. Being a pre-med is so overated

    Purple_roses replied to Ambreree's topic in General Nursing

    Tell them to get back with you when they actually get accepted to med

  22. Being a pre-med is so overated

    Purple_roses replied to Ambreree's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not going to read much on there, but from what I just checked out, people are wondering if nursing is a better route than pre-med, with the eventual goal of going to med school. Many believe that...

  23. Being a pre-med is so overated

    Purple_roses replied to Ambreree's topic in General Nursing

    I'm happy I haven't experienced this. There's a pre-med guy I work with right now, and he's such a solid guy. Fun to talk to, inquisitive about nursing, respectful. I've also met several doctors...

  24. Methadone worse than heroin....ideas?

    Purple_roses replied to Maevish's topic in Addictions

    This is such an interesting topic to me, and I doubt I'll ever have a firmly planted stance on this. During my psych clinical, I was able to go to both a methadone clinic and a recovery clinic. They...

  25. 5/01 WILTW: Margaritas and Oral Thrush

    Purple_roses posted a topic in General Nursing

    I've been asked to start the WILTW thread, and I'm more than happy to! This has been an exciting week for me, as it was the last week of my Med/Surg I rotation. I'm trying not to feel too relieved...
