  1. what is the pathophysiology of post surgical pain?

    Purple_roses replied to CNS2b11's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Hmm...well we can't dogmatically tell you what your instructor is looking for without a syllabus or more in-depth description of the assignment. I'll put in my two-cents, but take it with a grain of...

  2. Should I just wait until i graduate and then go into direct entry nursing program

    Purple_roses replied to MSBREELEE's topic in General Students

    Having looked at your page to see your other threads, I think you need to take a step back and dedicate time to research. You have no idea how any of this works. One of your questions asked whether...

  5. Cellulitis Care Plan Help

    Purple_roses replied to preshee92's topic in General Students

    I'm gonna brainstorm with you since I'm a student too--good way to learn. If the reason the pt is immobile is d/t pain, if you select pain as your nursing diagnosis and focus interventions on pain,...

  6. Co-workers mad that you're going to school

    Purple_roses replied to futurearmynurse25's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Wait...so you gave a 2 weeks notice and they're trying to make you think that it is within their power to accept or reject your resignation? Funny

  8. Cellulitis Care Plan Help

    Purple_roses replied to preshee92's topic in General Students

    My lecture and clinical instructor both place pain as a top priority. I even had to redo part of one of my care plans. I was taught that pain should always always be dealt with before dealing with...

    Purple_roses replied to preshee92's topic in General Students

    This is the exact opposite of what nursing schools teach. Are you in nursing school right

  10. Nurse's Station - what to expect? I need help!

    Purple_roses replied to candice22's topic in General Nursing

    If the nurses are not at the station, they are probably involved in patient care. Different shifts have different levels of

  11. I want to be a nurse

    Purple_roses replied to Taniajl30's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The first thing that is limiting your ability to learn math is that you're both ashamed and afraid. You have nothing to be ashamed of. Everyone has different struggles. One of the smartest girls in my...

  12. How many hours do you study?

    Purple_roses replied to Nurseades2b's topic in General Students

    Last semester I studied every day, averaging about 4 hours per day. I studied 10-12 hours over the weekends--I would usually pick either a Friday or Sunday to devote to studying. I took my books with...

  13. Didn't make it.

    Purple_roses replied to Jessies_hope's topic in School, College Programs

    Apply to that school again. Apply to several other nursing schools in your area (or even out of your area, depending on how far you're willing to travel). Just because you didn't make it in the first...

  14. Distant heart sounds?

    Purple_roses replied to tsm007's topic in General Nursing

    I would be interested in this explanation as well. There was one day during clinical (about a month ago) when the nurse asked me to get vitals on a patient I'd never worked with. I could not hear his...

  15. Accreditation and hiring nurses

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

    Here's the deal: Yes, you can graduate from a program that is not nationally accredited and get a decent job. The problem is that it's usually hospitals in your college's area that would be willing...

  16. What are some of the most ridiculous requests you have heard?

    Purple_roses replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, that reminds me. One of my clients was adamant that I reuse gloves because "It's such a waste! You can just hang them up on the shower bar and use them later." She, too, was a little upset that I...

  17. What are some of the most ridiculous requests you have heard?

    Purple_roses replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

    Homecare aide here: Geriatric patient AND daughter requested that I have a beer with them while on duty. The daughter was a little upset at how "tight" our company is about

  18. 19 years old, working full time and pre reqs.

    Purple_roses replied to FutureSRNA78's topic in General Students

    Good for you! I'm sure this job will give you great experience. I think working full time during pre-reqs is certainly doable. Once you move on to core nursing classes, you may need to taper that work...

  19. what to do if you are told not to come back to clinical site?

    Purple_roses replied to HoneybadgerFTW's topic in General Students

    This post is baffling to me. How does being a vet make his feet hurt? There is a multitude of possible answers. Considering some veterans no longer have feet, it's not a stretch to believe that,...

  20. A little nursing help :^)

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

    I go to school right now in Michigan. I could be wrong, but I believe the lowest acceptable GPA in the area is a 2.7. Even so, it's hard for those 2.7s to get in because schools take the highest GPAs...

  21. Are Kaplan Integrated Tests As Horrible As Other Students Are Making Them Seem?

    Purple_roses posted a topic in General Students

    My school requires students to take Kaplan Integrated Tests at the completion of each course. It is worth 10% of our grade. My class if freaking out for a few reasons. 1) Upper-classmen have told us...

  22. educational value of care plans

    Purple_roses replied to OnlinePersona's topic in General Students

    I hate doing them too, but filling out all of the pages (mine is 26 ) helps me formulate better nursing diagnoses. It just does. It reminds me of what the big issues were for that particular patient....

  23. Nursing Student Peers Who Want to Mooch

    Purple_roses replied to katiejames7878's topic in General Students

    I don't think it's wrong for you to withhold the study guides. One woman in my class went on a rant and actually blamed those who were doing well this semester for other people failing out already....

  24. Bad job reference from my school...now what?

    Purple_roses replied to Dreamscometru's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm sorry you're going through this. I'm not sure why an instructor would pass a student that he/she feels would make an unsafe
