  1. I hate nursing school !

    Purple_roses replied to Student2017555's topic in General Students

    It seems that you're having a hard time with every single aspect of your schooling experience, indicating that it might be your perspective that needs changing, not everyone else around you. I know...

  2. Prejudice Teacher

    Purple_roses replied to Valsabatini's topic in General Students

    I disagree with this. You don't have to just suck it up. This person is paying for an education, and thus has every right to speak up. And it's also not ok for a teacher to rip a student apart for...

  3. Prejudice Teacher

    Purple_roses replied to Valsabatini's topic in General Students

    Then file a formal complaint to the school in

  4. Prejudice Teacher

    Purple_roses replied to Valsabatini's topic in General Students

    You could probably file a formal complaint to your school of nursing. Degrading students for not understanding a concept is the antithesis of what a teacher should do. He's being inappropriate and...

  5. Drug Testing: After being accepted

    Purple_roses replied to futurenurse_16's topic in General Students

    Mine was urine. Just be upfront about prescribed meds you're taking so they know ahead of time and don't pull you into the office. I'm prescribed methylphenidate and I just gave written notice...

  6. Are You Nurse Jackie or Nurse Zoey?

    Purple_roses replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    The only one I've watched is Nurse Jackie (actually I'm only a few episodes in). So far what I like most about it is that it's the only show I've seen so far that has portrayed nurses as intelligent,...

  7. Feeling unmotivated

    Purple_roses replied to Daisyg124's topic in General Nursing

    Have you tried other areas of work? You could apply to work for an agency and go into people's homes to care for them. If you're working at a nursing home you could also try applying to a hospital to...

  8. Should I leave this racist town?

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

    I'm sorry this is happening to you, OP. It isn't right. And it IS a big deal. Nobody has a right to make you feel like this doesn't matter. I'm white. I can attest to the fact that sometimes, people...

  9. How to get into nurse school with several "w" and 2 "F"

    Purple_roses replied to Dagmawi's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    *facepalm*

  10. When the Hospital Fires the Bullet

    Purple_roses replied to Not_A_Hat_Person's topic in Nursing News

    My take away from this is that both hospitals and the police force need

  11. Do nurses do med math

    Purple_roses replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    How are you setting up your problems for dosage calculations? My instructor showed us a few ways. One clicked with me, the other was

  12. Brown mackie

    Purple_roses replied to amber0627's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I looked into it when I first started nursing as well. My Dad actually has a lot of connections in the health care world because of sales, and I was able to talk to some important people (Director of...

  13. Nursing School Blues

    Purple_roses replied to LJR89's topic in General Students

    Can I come play in the snow too?! Pharm can wait,

  14. Nursing School Blues

    Purple_roses replied to LJR89's topic in General Students

    I also have the nursing school blues, but mine is because I want to drink and have fun while I should be studying. Granted, I am making myself study, but it seems so much harder than it seemed last...

  15. Clinical instructor keeps handing out clinical warnings?

    Purple_roses replied to lilfayfay's topic in General Students

    Whew, that sounds like that will be tough, but I really bet you can do it. Just stick with

  16. Clinical instructor keeps handing out clinical warnings?

    Purple_roses replied to lilfayfay's topic in General Students

    The first two warnings you received because you were unprepared. From these experiences, your instructor may be expecting you to be unprepared--she may be keeping a closer eye on you now. When you...

  17. Should I "waste" my time getting an ADN?

    Purple_roses replied to misskayy's topic in General Students

    I'm assuming that by saying "waste of time," you're referring to the fact that the ADN-BSN route would end up taking longer? In that case, I think I would apply to the program of your choice as well...

  18. The sloppy image of nurses today

    Purple_roses replied to RNdynamic's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I actually don't like looking good at clinical or work. I look "put together" and have good hygiene, but I don't see the need to look sexy by wearing tight fitting clothing and heels in these...

  19. Has anyone gone through nursing school with depression?

    Purple_roses replied to trapstudent's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I'm glad you've made appointments! I hope they go

  20. I hate nursing school (and it is not because it is hard)

    Purple_roses replied to baleen's topic in General Students

    You sound a bit arrogant, but from what you describe, I would be upset too. Your instructor uses sock puppets?! That's insulting. I'm in my second semester right now, and I personally feel that I've...

  21. Scheduling nurses to work as CNAs?

    Purple_roses replied to RNfromMN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    You shouldn't feel like a snob for refusing CNA work. You went through a lot of education to climb the ladder to where you are. Nursing is one of the only professions where people are made to feel...

  22. Has anyone gone through nursing school with depression?

    Purple_roses replied to trapstudent's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I agree that the first thing you should do is see a psychiatrist if you can get an appointment quickly. But all these other questions? Should you be a nurse, should you see a career counselor? NO! No,...

  23. Student Nurses

    Purple_roses replied to childcare1's topic in School

    A student nurse DOES have course objectives. My instructor encourages us to check that list before clinicals and to be prepared to ask specific things. In my opinion, you are doing exactly what you...

  24. Has anyone gone through nursing school with depression?

    Purple_roses replied to trapstudent's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I am so sorry you're feeling this way. There have been others who have felt the way you do, but we unfortunately cannot give you the counseling you need. Please seek help while you're waiting for an...

  25. Selfish ramblings of a nurse who doesn't make $52 million a year.

    Purple_roses replied to bluebirdflyx's topic in General Nursing

    We'll have to fight against NOADLS' CNAs, who are undoubtedly shuffling him to the front as he reaches new levels in candy
