  1. Care Plans in General

    Purple_roses replied to juardsrn's topic in General Students

    I think it's really odd that your instructor tells you which nursing dx to go with. A big part of care plans (at least at my school) is to be able to figure out what the problem actually

  2. What Can't You Live Without?

    Purple_roses replied to portx's topic in General Students

    Yes to wine! And Jack n'

  3. What Can't You Live Without?

    Purple_roses replied to portx's topic in General Students

    I tell myself "it's temporary" all the time. It keeps me motivated to study when I need to. And friends I've made in nursing school. There's nothing more therapeutic than commiserating with the...

  4. Nursing is the Biggest Mistake of My Life

    Purple_roses replied to almost_nurse's topic in General Nursing

    You're not actually upset with nursing as a profession--you're upset with the pressure that this federal scholarship has placed on you and you're displacing it toward

  5. Just found out I was accepted - Xanax usage

    Purple_roses replied to charleyq's topic in General Students

    One of my nursing instructors actually told me to ask my doctor about a prescription for an anti-anxiety after I talked with her about how poorly I was handling testing anxiety. Your nursing school...

  6. Taking Anatomy and Chem at the same time.

    Purple_roses replied to wghtsrgltng's topic in General Students

    There is no shame in taking longer during your prereqs if that's what you need, by the way. I mentioned the example of my classmate, but really, if you're not in a rush to get your nursing license,...

  7. Taking Anatomy and Chem at the same time.

    Purple_roses replied to wghtsrgltng's topic in General Students

    There is one woman in my class who has several children, maintains a full-time job, and maintains a farm, and she gets As on all of her nursing tests! She flew through her prereqs. She is very...

  8. 1 minute for each question in nursing school

    Purple_roses replied to RescueNinja123's topic in General Students

    DO NOT drink coffee before a test! You will not be able to focus. Drink lots of water, pee before your test, eat a simple snack before the test, but do not caffeinate yourself. People who take...

  9. I didn't get into Nursing School!! Help!!

    Purple_roses replied to Jordan1927's topic in General Students

    If I were you, I would take some time off from school and figure things out. There are some important questions that you need to answer for yourself here. Most importantly, why did you do so poorly?...

    Purple_roses replied to Penelope_Pitstop's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a religious person, though I am a curious person. I always wonder where these people really are. Are they here? Are they in heaven? Is their spirit nonexistent at this point? These cases are...

  11. How did you get through nursing school?

    Purple_roses replied to Student2017555's topic in General Students

    I think her point was more that we should be giving advice on coping with anxiety (and we're not talking mild anxiety here--the poor dear is pulling out her hair) instead of giving advice on studying....

  16. How to read blood pressure?

    Purple_roses replied to Femine91's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    This isn't a silly question :) I struggled with BPs in my first semester and I felt so stupid for it. The systolic is what you hear. Never go by what you see alone. What helped me was to inflate the...

  17. Is working as a CNA necessary?

    Purple_roses replied to BSN_to_ICU's topic in General Students

    In my area, my friends who have graduated all landed jobs right away. Some had experience as a CNA, many did not. The ones who truly benefited from being a CNA first were hired in as an RN at the same...

  18. Loan Max Amount

    Purple_roses replied to carlra's topic in General Students

    Your question is a tricky one. I would imagine you wouldn't qualify for grad loans because you don't already have a BSN. Do you know which program you'll likely apply to? I think the best think to do...

  19. How did you get through nursing school?

    Purple_roses replied to Student2017555's topic in General Students

    I don't. It took a lot of hard work for me to figure out how to get good grades in nursing school. It's absolutely ridiculous for you to assume that the only way people can get higher grades than you...

  22. How did you get through nursing school?

    Purple_roses replied to Student2017555's topic in General Students

    I put in that much last semester. This time around its 2-4 hours per day, tops, and I went from Bs to As. If you're studying that much per day then you might not be understanding what to focus on. It...

    Purple_roses replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing
