  2. 5/01 WILTW: Margaritas and Oral Thrush

    Purple_roses replied to Purple_roses's topic in General Nursing

    Same. I grew up in a ridiculously strict environment where people told me something was wrong with me if I wanted to do anything other than become a wife and mom. Saying some of these recent posts...

    Purple_roses replied to bonta's topic in Men in Nursing

    Disclaimer: I'm a female. So I obviously know absolutely nothing about what it takes to be a man pursing nursing. But I will say that I have met my fair share of men considering nursing because 1)it...

    Deal! And not those frilly Americanized margaritas. The real deal! With a side of chips and super spicy

  6. 4/23 WILTW: It turns out nurses do make the worst patients

    Purple_roses replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I did :) I always forget to do that. Here's the next WILTW:

  7. When are you officially a nursing student?

    Purple_roses replied to Zyprexa_Ho's topic in General Students

    This reminds me of an aid I met at a nursing home. The resident's daughter didn't like something that the aid was doing and he said, "I need you to trust me ma'am. I'm a nursing student." I asked him...

  9. male nurses

    Purple_roses replied to bonta's topic in Men in Nursing

    You seriously cannot be that surprised that women don't want to make less than a man simply because we don't have a member. That's outrageous. Men who happen to be dads can go talk to their kids'...

  10. Other students don't think I'm good enough

    Purple_roses replied to Exhuasted's topic in General Students

    Hmm...so the students (who are not nurses yet and really know next to nothing about what it takes to be a nurse) are trying to tell you what makes a good nurse? I wouldn't put much weight in

  11. Might change my major to Medical Assistant?

    Purple_roses replied to giraffe4's topic in General Students

    There are several issues with your line of thinking. 1) Don't do nursing just because your dad is making you do it. You're an adult. And you will be a miserable adult if you end up hating nursing....

  12. Nursing School Blues

    Purple_roses replied to B-I-J-O-U-X's topic in General Students

    Florence Nightingale was, first and foremost, concerned for the wellbeing of her patients. And if you take a peak at nursing history, she was incredibly picky/borderline discriminatory about who she...

  13. male nurses

    Purple_roses replied to bonta's topic in Men in Nursing

    I agree that men would be great candidates for the nursing profession because they are human beings. And humans taking care of humans makes sense. As for strength and muscle power? The male student...

  14. Didn't score high enough on dosage calculations

  15. Why do some nurses "hate their jobs"?

    Purple_roses replied to iculvr's topic in General Nursing

    I met an anesthesiologist who summed it up well: "You cannot do these types of jobs because you're a compassionate person. That can't be the reason. Because there will come a day when you won't feel...

    Purple_roses replied to nlitened's topic in General Students

    Congratulations! Definitely something to be proud of! Good luck on NCLEX and in your first job! I still have a year of torture left

  19. Failing nursing fundamentals

    Purple_roses replied to mooneybeee's topic in General Students

    I think you should try again. Those tests threw me through a loop first semester too. Eventually, you'll get better at taking these tests, which are really training you think like a nurse. Many others...

    Purple_roses replied to twss2323's topic in General Nursing

    Well the joke is on the hospital. In this sue-happy society that we live in, you can bet that patients will suddenly be dissatisfied with everything. I mean seriously. You can get free healthcare...

  24. Pharmacology flash cards

    Purple_roses replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    I bought the Pharm Phlash cards, and they're pretty handy. They don't have all the info on them that my instructor wants us to know, so I just sharpie extra notes on them if I need to. What I like the...
