  1. MA in charge of clinic?

    Purple_roses replied to anchordown16's topic in General Nursing

    It's money. That MA comes at a far lesser price than an RN in the same position. I don't think the OP is discrediting MAs. My friend is an MA; she's smart, capable, and good at her job. But would any...

  2. Could someone of average IQ become an ADN nurse?

    Purple_roses replied to Weber's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I don't even know what my IQ

  3. Patient refuses meds and treatment

    Purple_roses replied to wifeygrooms's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Ha. No. Nice try

  4. In a bad situation!

    Purple_roses replied to A.mariemartinez's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    "I've worked so hard." I do not think that means what you think it

  5. Can I still be a nurse?

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

    At the end of the day, it isn't even the school's decision: the clinical sites mandate that students stay up to date on their vaccinations. It doesn't matter if the school wants to be lax or...

    I hate that all this is happening to you

    Congratulations!!!!!

  9. Infection control + gloves

    Purple_roses replied to eiwneon's topic in General Nursing

    It's good to know when to take those gloves off too. I've seen some staff keep the same gloves on after cleaning up a bowel movement. Also, my friend said that the person at Walgreens who gave her a...

  10. 5/7 (on 5/9) WILTW: ixchel is a cornflake girl

    Purple_roses replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I might need to try the icy hot. Brightness on my phone and laptop is always at the lowest setting. 15 minute "naps" in a dark room also helps, though there's not always time for

    Purple_roses replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know how you even managed to take a test with a migraine! That must have been

  12. 5/7 (on 5/9) WILTW: ixchel is a cornflake girl

    Purple_roses replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    That is scary! Paralysis would be terrifying. I've been getting migraines since my teen years, but only started getting migraines with transient aphasia and vision loss when I started birth control. I...

  13. 5/7 (on 5/9) WILTW: ixchel is a cornflake girl

    Purple_roses replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    Transient aphasia due to migraine absolutely sucks. I read the word "pulse," but my migraine brain interpreted it as the word "fetus." Confusing and

  14. 94 or higher is an A?

    Purple_roses replied to Oceanblu's topic in General Students

    Don't let that intimidate you. Not everyone who joins nursing school will end up finishing, and there are several factors that come into play: First of all, sometimes people figure out that they...

  15. 94 or higher is an A?

    Purple_roses replied to Oceanblu's topic in General Students

    Yes, you can count on NO rounding. One in my cohort needed a 78% to pass and received a 77.5%. My nursing program does not allow any rounding, even if the teachers want

  16. 94 or higher is an A?

    Purple_roses replied to Oceanblu's topic in General Students

    My program is similar. 94 and above is an A, so it's very difficult to achieve a 4.0. I have not maintained my 4.0, though I've put in 100% of my effort. I keep getting 93s (it's enough to drive me...

  17. Please help me make this life-changing decision

    Purple_roses replied to Uncomfortably Numb's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I'm glad you've made a decision that you feel comfortable with OP. Everyone finds their niche in different places. I certainly hope you didn't base you decision on what synaptic has said

  18. Disrespectful patient

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

    You know another thing that bothers me about this (sorry, I know--this thread has already gone on long enough): it isn't ok to judge the mom in this scenario either. I've met moms of suicidal kids,...

  19. 5/01 WILTW: Margaritas and Oral Thrush

    Purple_roses replied to Purple_roses's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so sorry! That sounds so stressful. I truly hope it works out for you to get it all figured out in the least amount of time. In the meantime, we're here if you need to

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

    It's not a patient's job to provide a therapeutic environment for the

  21. Disrespectful patient

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

    I think it's easy to assume that he wasn't planning on committing suicide because he didn't have anything in his system, but what if his mom caught him with a bunch of pills right before he ingested...

    Purple_roses replied to Purple_roses's topic in General Nursing

    Gosh, I'm sorry to read

  23. Abusive and Cruel Clinical Instructors: Why??

    Purple_roses replied to sallber's topic in General Students

    That's awful that your instructor did that to you. I'm sorry you went through

  24. Previous grades

    Purple_roses replied to NewNurs2020's topic in General Students

    I would imagine it's hard to find time to study with all of those little kids running around! I have no advice to offer you on how to maintain your grades, seeing as I had it pretty easy. I have no...
