  1. Goodbye Nursing School!!!!!

    Purple_roses replied to Jayjormom's topic in General Students

    Congratulations, and good luck on

  2. Anyone make it into nursing school with a C in Anatomy?

    Purple_roses replied to cjens27's topic in General Students

    There was one student in my cohort that made it into the program with a C in A/P, and she only made it in because three students dropped the program before it started. She did not make it past the...

  3. Do any of you think about going to med school?

    Purple_roses replied to RN to be soon's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's an idea I had in mind when I began nursing, but after having been in the nursing program for a while...I really love the nursing model. If I ever choose to advance my career, it would be within...

  5. Male graduate and pinning

    Purple_roses replied to Rn 1979's topic in Men in Nursing

    In the realm of life, I don't think it matters either way if you attend the pinning ceremony or not. But why does your being male have anything to do with

  6. Question about the nursing program.

    Purple_roses replied to RNHS's topic in General Students

    Mine are two days a week as

  7. Prereqs - Community College vs. 4-Year College

    Purple_roses replied to SN2751's topic in General Students

    I'm a bit confused about what you're asking exactly. Are you still shooting for PA, or are you thinking about staying within the field of nursing, such as an RN or an

  8. Are fluids and electrolytes really that hard?

    Purple_roses replied to xmilkncookiesx's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Fluids and Lytes are difficult because there's a lot to memorize. But if you take the time to memorize everything, you'll be absolutely fine. Memorize the lab values. Memorize all the signs and...

  9. About to get fired. HELP!

    Purple_roses replied to BellaBlackwell's topic in General Nursing

    I'm willing to bet that the NYC jobs you're after look at your first nursing job, not your first job as an aide. I mean think about it: your first job was actually probably retail. Think they'll care...

  10. How much and how long?

    Purple_roses replied to Oceanblu's topic in General Students

    It usually takes between 1-2 years to finish up the prereqs, depending on how many years ago your graduated from high school and what your SAT/ACT scores were. High enough scores will get you out of...

  11. Question about the nursing program.

    Purple_roses replied to RNHS's topic in General Students

    I've been at several different facilities so far for clinical, and I had to be there at different times for each one. 0500, 0615, 0730, and one at 0900 (I got lucky with that one). Expect to wake up...

  12. Who's at fault here?

    Purple_roses replied to PerkyNurse55's topic in General Students

    I think I've seen a lot of suspicious titles around here lately. NPs who can't

  13. Who's at fault here?

    Purple_roses replied to PerkyNurse55's topic in General Students

    First of all: *you're. (You've also got a nasty comma splice in your sentence structure.) If you're going to insult someone's intelligence, at least do so with proper spelling and grammar. Second,...

  14. Who's at fault here?

    Purple_roses replied to PerkyNurse55's topic in General Students

    This is how my nursing school operates. Stellar HESI exit scores, 98-100% pass rate for NCLEX. But not even close to everyone who started ended up graduating on time or at all. People are weeded out...

  15. SECOND YEAR TIPS

    Purple_roses replied to nativenurse2b2017's topic in General Students

    I think it depends on which school you're at. At my school, the general consensus is that second semester is the hardest, so I'm breathing a sigh of relief as I go into 3rd semester. My game plan is...

  19. 5/01 WILTW: Margaritas and Oral Thrush

    Purple_roses replied to Purple_roses's topic in General Nursing

    Yes. The hot zone. It isn't as hot as they led me to believe it was [emoji12] And yes, the friend family, or framily (because I'm cheesy) is where it's at. There are several different religions and...

  20. Doing the WHOLE college thing, or complete in 18 months?

    Purple_roses replied to Mae637's topic in General Nursing

    I'm still in school, but I had to complete 1.5 years of prereqs before I was accepted into the 2 year ADN program. And that was full

  21. Do crnas deserve that much salary?

    Purple_roses replied to jasy's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Well that's certainly a suspicious time

  22. 5/01 WILTW: Margaritas and Oral Thrush

    Purple_roses replied to Purple_roses's topic in General Nursing

    I've learned that I can study for 8+ hours in one day, practically fall asleep in my notes, get all curled up in bed, and then get a second wind. How

  23. 5/01 WILTW: Margaritas and Oral Thrush

    Purple_roses replied to Purple_roses's topic in General Nursing

    I suppose it's good that you didn't find out until afterward...better to avoid all that drama. It amazes me that adults behave this way. It happens everywhere. Everywhere.

  24. 5/01 WILTW: Margaritas and Oral Thrush

    Purple_roses replied to Purple_roses's topic in General Nursing

    I'm glad you contributed! You seem like such a great patient advocate. Medicaid truly does suck sometimes. One of my clients had ALS and needed weekly physical therapy simply to maintain what little...
