  1. Baby Boomers, Gen X'ers, & GenY/Millennials: Can We Work Together?

    Purple_roses replied to Bridgid Joseph's topic in General Nursing

    Hey look! Another

  2. Want to quit nursing school

    Purple_roses replied to student_nurse2016's topic in General Students

    I think the core issue here is your lack of confidence, not your profession. You could pursue all of the degrees and professions in the world, but until you figure out how to manage the core issue, I...

  3. Tardiness

    Purple_roses replied to Vtachy1's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    It's up to each instructor. They all have the right to send us home if we're late, but none ever have, probably because students are hardly ever late. There is one woman in my clinical group who is...

  4. Baby Boomers, Gen X'ers, & GenY/Millennials: Can We Work Together?

    Purple_roses replied to Bridgid Joseph's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, we can work together. Verily easily actually. Right up until you start putting people in

  5. Why can't we all just get along?

    Purple_roses replied to milesims's topic in General Students

    What makes the program competitive is NOT the minimum GPA needed to enter. It's all the boatloads of students who have that GPA, or a better GPA, who are competing for just a few seats. Meeting the...

  6. Why can't we all just get along?

    Purple_roses replied to milesims's topic in General Students

    elkpark is dead on. For the record, I think it's wonderful that you're pushing yourself. You seem driven. You're working hard to do what you want. All good things, and worthy of a *little* bragging....

  7. Why can't we all just get along?

    Purple_roses replied to milesims's topic in General Students

    Something that I have learned is that I will not be friends with everyone, and that's perfectly fine. I don't feel the need to have in-depth conversations with all of the 35 2nd semester students. I'm...

  8. I hate clinicals - Anyone else with me?

    Purple_roses replied to basenjilove808's topic in General Students

    Sometimes I dread going to clinicals the night before. It's hard to get up at the crack of dawn, I've got tests and projects on my mind, I'm worried I'll get a mean patient, and I'm most worried that...

  9. The difficulties of Nursing School. *Rant/Advice*

    Purple_roses replied to 2bNurseDR.T's topic in General Students

    Great advice. My class first semester did the same thing. They went to the dean, complained to the chair of nursing, and even started the class out by arguing with the instructor. It was absolutely...

  10. Nursing instructor doesn't allow open textbooks during lecture !??!

    Purple_roses replied to LVNlivin's topic in General Students

    Almost my entire class uses their textbooks in lecture. My instructor goes out of order and will say, "I don't want you to know this section for this test, but come back to it for test 3." Having your...

  11. Nursing instructor doesn't allow open textbooks during lecture !??!

    Purple_roses replied to LVNlivin's topic in General Students

    That would bother me too. I take notes in the margins of my books sometimes to ensure that I go back and reread what was highlighted most in lecture. I would also be very upset if I couldn't use my...

  12. Opinions on nursing students?

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

    Nursing students are ridiculous. But not me, of

    Purple_roses replied to JustBeachyNurse's topic in Nursing News

    Oh my god. I can't wrap my head around

  14. 04/09 WILTW: Confused LOLs

    Purple_roses replied to cracklingkraken's topic in General Nursing

    I live in a similar area...so naturally I want a job outside of that area, because I can never just make life easy for

  15. What have you learned in nursing school that was utter nonsense?

    Purple_roses replied to TheMiss's topic in General Nursing

    This is actually comforting to read. I was legitimately a little freaked out about that. My very first instructor (in the second week of class I believe) told us all about "that one nurse who was...

  16. 04/09 WILTW: Confused LOLs

    Purple_roses replied to cracklingkraken's topic in General Nursing

    So jealous that you removed staples and sutures! I removed an IV...yay. 🙃 Also 80% is super acceptable. Like really super

  17. "Smart" students make bad nurses?

    Purple_roses replied to joseyjo's topic in General Nursing

    Well thankfully this isn't what I'm being taught right now. Almost all of my instructors thus far have encouraged us to really know and apply our stuff so that we know which provider orders to...

  18. What nurse life-hacks do you have to offer?

    Purple_roses posted a topic in Nurses Rock

    One day I forgot to apply deodorant, and I realized this a few hours into a twelve hour shift. This is how I discovered that hand sanitizer will serve as a decent deodorant in such cases of stinky...

  19. What have you learned in nursing school that was utter nonsense?

    Purple_roses replied to TheMiss's topic in General Nursing

    I think what you're describing is validation, not reality

  20. Has nursing made you negative?

    Purple_roses replied to milesims's topic in General Nursing

    Officially following all threads that you and Far participate

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

    Purple_roses replied to iculvr's topic in General Nursing

    Disclaimer: Not a nurse yet. You asked if higher pay would lead to higher job satisfaction. I don't think I have to be a nurse to know that no, this is not true. Nurses make enough to live...

  22. 04/09 WILTW: Confused LOLs

    Purple_roses replied to cracklingkraken's topic in General Nursing

    (((Viva))) I'm so sorry. I feel like it would be amazing if AN created a "hugs" button, because "liking" heartbreaking posts seems

  23. You can't make this stuff up

    Purple_roses replied to djh123's topic in Nursing Humor

    Yesterday my client was telling me about a caregiver that she can't stand (she thinks this caregiver is too bossy). She said, "Whenever I know she's coming, I have to gird my loins! Gird my loins...I...

  24. Has nursing made you negative?

    Purple_roses replied to milesims's topic in General Nursing

    Your first year of nursing school? No. I have a more delightfully morbid sense of humor, but no real negativity.

  25. Has anyone messed up really bad in a clinical and still passed

    Purple_roses replied to mdiada's topic in General Students

    I had that day 2 weeks ago. It was awful. The day before I had felt so on top of things. It was one of those days where I thought, "Oh yeah, I definitely chose the right profession here." And then the...
