  1. How did you get through nursing school?

    Purple_roses replied to Student2017555's topic in General Students

    Are you really pulling out your hair? That's serious OP Panic attacks are not a standard part of nursing school. I'm also nearing the end of my second semester and I haven't felt like this at all. I...

  2. Have you ever worked with someone who had such a nasty attitude that it was almost hostile

    Purple_roses replied to 1Jessie86's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I thought this was sarcasm at

  3. Weird/ Dumb Nursing School Rules

    Purple_roses replied to Randy RN ASN's topic in General Students

    My staples are my Blackhawks sweat pants, yoga pants, my hoodies, and comfy sweaters. I listen during lecture, never skip class, and get As on most of my tests. Always in dress code for clinicals. My...

  4. Getting Our Egos Out of the Hierarchy!

    Purple_roses replied to BethBoynton's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's a funny joke. My mother is a WebMD person and frequently thinks she has a major health problem that in all actuality is something minor. Our running joke is "uh oh, did WebMD figure out...

  5. Do Bachelor's Degrees Save Lives? - The Facts about Earning a BSN

    Purple_roses replied to Rasmussen University's topic in General Nursing

    Hmm...I wonder why Rasmussen College is pushing for

  6. Bad preceptors and the demotivated state of nursing.

    Purple_roses replied to Axmann, RN, BSN, NREMT-B's topic in General Students

    I don't understand how asking you about skills your familiar with is a bad thing. I also don't understand how this would make your preceptor a complacent one. Take charge of your learning. Ask...

  7. Weird/ Dumb Nursing School Rules

    Purple_roses replied to Randy RN ASN's topic in General Students

    I definitely care about hygiene and hair. And if one of my classmates came to clinical in a wrinkled uniform, with long fingernails, and had clearly not groomed, I would be ticked. I like that nursing...

  8. Weird/ Dumb Nursing School Rules

    Purple_roses replied to Randy RN ASN's topic in General Students

    I get it. I knew what my nursing school's rules were before I signed up. I follow the rules, but it doesn't mean that I don't think some of them are a bit silly. It's ok to admit you didn't like some...

  9. I have an Unhelpful instructor

    Purple_roses replied to stephey's topic in General Students

    Your situation does sound incredibly frustrating. You sound like you really want to learn the material. People, I really think the OP has a right to be frustrated. The best way I have learned in each...

  10. Before you judge the addicted nurse.....

    Purple_roses replied to michirn's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Thank you for sharing this. I've always thought "craving" was a stupid word to use for drug cravings. It's really more like hunger or starvation, I would imagine. Craving is wanting a brownie. Hunger...

  11. ixchel's 3/7/16 What Have I Learned This Week, with A Lil' Help From My Friends!

    Purple_roses replied to Farawyn's topic in General Nursing

    Whisper-coughs are highly annoying. It happens when a sick person in a crammed clinic wears her mask around her neck and hoorificely whispers to her nearby friend, which induces frequent, loud...

  12. First semester nursing student

    Purple_roses replied to courty's topic in General Students

    Seeing as it's the first day of clinicals in your first semester, I would give it another shot. The first day can seem overwhelming, boring, too-busy, gross, tiring, and just not what you were...

  13. Is nursing school REALLY that hard?

    Purple_roses replied to Courtney M's topic in General Students

    My first semester absolutely sucked. I thought it was difficult because it was hard for me to figure out what to focus on from the readings. I also had a hard time figuring out how to study. This is...

  14. Do you go to work with parabens on you?

    Purple_roses replied to RNdynamic's topic in General Nursing

    I strongly believe that the only way to achieve the perfect well oiled hair look is to use paraben-free hair products. To use anything else would be a disgrace to Flo

  15. Why do you wear a white coat? (if you indeed do)

    Purple_roses replied to RNdynamic's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    You're the same one who created the thread "The Sloppy Image of Nurses Today." It all makes sense

  16. Did I hit the sciatic nerve?

    Purple_roses replied to Femine91's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Yes. I'm in nursing school right now and have been told to avoid that area

  17. Parent Faked Order?

    Purple_roses replied to lifelearningrn's topic in School

    Again, I am amazed at your level of expertise! Like a zit that just keeps oozing all over every thread. I can only imagine what knowledge you'll possess when you're actually a nurse. (Still...

  18. Is your school requiring you to take a specific nclex review course?

    Purple_roses replied to NurseInTraining123's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I have to take the Kaplan review before graduating. School's ratings are based off of their NCLEX pass rates, so it makes sense that they do everything in their power to make sure you're ready....

  19. Detecting drug use in students

    Purple_roses replied to jesserpie's topic in School

    You really do seem to specialize in a lot of things considering you're a student. (Yes, I'm

  20. It seems that some students are not a good fit for nursing.

    Purple_roses replied to Banana nut's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A bleeding, caring heart who will passionately give you meds while berating you for disagreeing with

  21. It seems that some students are not a good fit for nursing.

    Purple_roses replied to Banana nut's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Whoa...

  22. It seems that some students are not a good fit for nursing.

    Purple_roses replied to Banana nut's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Some people aren't open books. They don't voice any emotion or wear their hearts on their sleeves, especially in front of classmates. There are 3 classmates in my entire cohort that know note-worthy...

  23. It seems that some students are not a good fit for nursing.

    Purple_roses replied to Banana nut's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So you--not a nurse, not even a nursing student--you, a PRE-nursing student, think you know who will make a good

  24. How to deal with ****** hospital staff

    Purple_roses replied to R.tchadensis's topic in General Students

    That is very frustrating! I had a CNA at the facility follow me around and tell me how to do basic things at the last clinical facility I was at; and that was after we had both discussed our schooling...

  25. How do you memorize and understand medications?

    Purple_roses replied to xmilkncookiesx's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    It helps to memorize classifications. Like I'm not going to make note cards for each and every antihistamine. Instead, I'll make one notecard for diphenhydramine, which is the prototype (the med that...
