  2. Ati critical thinking exam

    Purple_roses replied to TexRN's topic in General Students

    From what I understand, the sole purpose of those tests is so that the instructors/Dean of Nursing can see where you started and track your progress throughout the program. My instructors told us not...

  3. Ok Class of 2017, Where are you??

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

    Some people really do feel overwhelmed by e-books, and I think it has a lot to do with distraction. Students are more tempted to go to other sites instead of staying on the book page. I don't think a...

  4. Ok Class of 2017, Where are you??

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

    That is a lot of money. My nursing book package costs $500. It contained 10 books and we will use all of them throughout the entire program; it also came with access codes so we could download the...

    That's how my brother is, too. No fair. Ood, did your dentist give you a fluoride toothpaste? I used it for a month, ran out, almost reordered but then found out it was $27 a

    Probably! Apparently most of the American population has gum disease and is completely unaware. I think dental should be covered under regular healthcare insurance vs separate dental insurance. Your...

    Purple_roses replied to Farawyn's topic in General Nursing

    My gums are bad, and I'm only 23 I've always brushed 2x a day, flossed, gone to the dentist. I don't understand it, but now I go to the dentist every 4 months. So

  9. How to deter when asked personal questions by patients?

    Purple_roses replied to nianavaRN's topic in General Nursing

    I once told a client "Yeah, but I'm working for the other guy." Yes, yes. I know. I'm going to hell for that. (It's in my

    Purple_roses replied to Farawyn's topic in General Nursing

    Same here. I'll have 12 chapters read, outlined, and on flash cards by the first day of class. That way I'll have more time to put toward benevolently dictating instructions to my group project...

  16. Anyone ordered from this website?

    Purple_roses replied to nursology1's topic in General Nursing

    I have never ordered from that site, but Amazon is having a limited time sale on Littmanns. (I think it's today only? Hopefully not). It's only 5-10% off, but Amazon also has free shipping, which...

  18. What advice would you give your 19 year old self?

    Purple_roses replied to depalma.amada's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't say that. The right SO for you is one who will support your schooling and career decision. I'm not opposed to getting into a relationship while in school. The key is to be smart about it....

    Purple_roses replied to Wrench Party's topic in General Nursing

    Glad to see you've had success! Just curious, what area are you in? Nurses in my area don't have a problem finding hospital jobs either, no matter where they started. But some areas are

  24. What advice would you give your 19 year old self?

    Purple_roses replied to depalma.amada's topic in General Nursing

    You made the right choice. Sometimes it drives me nuts thinking about the fact that I could have been a nurse with a couple years experience by now if I'd been

  25. What advice would you give your 19 year old self?

    Purple_roses replied to depalma.amada's topic in General Nursing

    Dear former self, Don't let that boy convince you not to go to nursing school. And don't move across the country for him. And also, you should have jumped ship the moment you realized how bat-****...
