  1. How do you write a care plan?

    Purple_roses replied to FutureSuccessStory19's topic in General Students

    What I'm going to tell you is something that I have continually told myself this semester: You are going to mess up, and that's actually a really good thing. Your teacher is going to mark up those...

    That poor

  3. Help with how to become a nurse

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

    I have a few questions for you. What do you like and dislike about your job right now? What made you decide that it's time for a change? What made you think nursing was the correct change? What...

    I would suggest a glass or five of

  5. 11/7: what I learned this week: Trey Anastasio wants to weigh your head; Cerner is stupid

    Purple_roses replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I learned that my hands heavily shake when I'm nervous about performing a procedure, like wound care, for the first time. I'm hoping this stops by the time I have to start working with IVs. I learned...

  6. Getting a C in Anatomy :(

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

    After reading through a few of your recent posts, I'm seeing a pattern of anxiety. The pre reqs are hard, there is a lot of pressure to do well, and all the while you still have to somehow still...

  7. Can they do this?

    Purple_roses replied to jkadel's topic in General Students

    I believe that the school was absolutely wrong in how they handled the situation. Yes, you should have failed out of nursing school for failing 3 classes, but they should NOT have allowed you to...

  8. HOW do people do well in Anatomy & P?

    Purple_roses replied to Upward_Bound's topic in General Students

    There is a helpful app called "body atlas" that allows you to click on a virtual skeleton to see the info for each bone/muscle/organ system. It was a very convenient way for me to study. I also stayed...

    They're just

  10. what should I do with classmate/ friend who won't study but will complain about failing?

    Purple_roses replied to Goal_NP's topic in General Students

    Oh. Well, personally, I would slowly distance myself from her. I don't have much patience for lazy

  11. Jealous Friends...

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

    Just a random member strolling by to say that if you close this thread down and ask the question again, the exact same people who have commented on this one will comment on the

  12. what should I do with classmate/ friend who won't study but will complain about failing?

    Purple_roses replied to Goal_NP's topic in General Students

    I think you should be honest with her. Next time she says the test was too hard, say, "Why do you think it was too hard? Do you feel like you really prepared for it? How much time are you investing in...

  13. How do use adpie for studying ?

    Purple_roses replied to secret2350's topic in General Students

    Using ADPIE vs not using it will make or break your test grades. My first nursing test, I just leaned the content and I only passed the test by two points. From then on out, I really focused on ADPIE....

  14. Any tips on doing a head to toe assessment?

    Purple_roses replied to fatrabbit's topic in General Students

    These are great questions! I'm looking forward to seeing responses as I'm new at this as well. As far as respirations go: when I'm taking my patient's vitals, I place my steth on the left side of...

  15. I have 3 months to prepare for nursing school. What is the best way to prepare?

    Purple_roses replied to Bibliophage's topic in General Students

    Sounds like you're about as prepared as you can be academically speaking. I would also advise creating a healthy meal plan for yourself. I did not do a good job with this, and I've already put on some...

  16. Am I Too Old to Start School?

    Purple_roses replied to michelegie's topic in General Students

    No way are you too old! There are several 40+ students in my cohort. There's a really good mix of ages, and that's usually the trend. There is one particular woman in my cohort that I really like....

  17. Should Our Study Group Allow a Failing Student to Join?

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

    This happened to me during my Chemistry class last year. This girl never did her homework, did not study, didn't even show up to class sometimes. She came up to me one day and asked me to tutor her. I...

  18. Why do minorities have more respect for nurses?

    Purple_roses replied to Runman1914's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Well apparently we're all (or most of us) are just very offended today! I'll admit, I probably need a chill pill. Unfortunately, I'm not allowed access to the med cart

  19. Why do minorities have more respect for nurses?

    Purple_roses replied to Runman1914's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You just typed out a ridiculous amount of information for absolutely no reason. No one on here is questioning the bar exam. And if you read further past my first post, you'll see that my issue was NOT...

  20. Why do minorities have more respect for nurses?

    Purple_roses replied to Runman1914's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I did not. It really wouldn't have been worth it. She seemed like such a superficial person anyway, I'm sure she would have been thinking about what cocktail she was going to order next instead of...

  21. nursing student in science classes vs nursing student in nursing classes

    Purple_roses replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    I do not share my grades with anyone other than my study buddies. From my limited experience, people in nursing school do NOT like it when someone ruins the curve (well, my instructors don't curve,...

  22. Why do minorities have more respect for nurses?

    Purple_roses replied to Runman1914's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    But would you go around rudely comparing the two exams and undermining what the other person is doing? Who knows which one is harder; that's entirely irrelevant. It was a rude and degrading...

  23. Why do minorities have more respect for nurses?

    Purple_roses replied to Runman1914's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think you've hit the nail on the head. I once told a rich-daddy-pays-for-everything pre-law student that I was studying nursing, and her immediate response was, "Oh that's nice. But you don't have...

  24. Very, Very Bad Week

    Purple_roses replied to NurseGirl525's topic in General Students

    My heart goes out to you. I am so very sorry for the huge loss you and your boyfriend experienced. I can't even

  25. Are You an Instructor? You Should Know...

    Purple_roses posted a topic in General Students

    This is my first semester of nursing school and I've honestly been enjoying it so far. Of course, it wouldn't be nursing school without feeling like you're going to fail out of the program about once...
