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

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

    I wouldn't worry about it. The stethoscope that my school actually recommends for us is the Littmann classic lightweight. Our schools know we will have to work with what we

  2. How do you do well in nursing school and keep your spouse happy?

    Purple_roses replied to Godizmydad21's topic in General Students

    Keep reminding yourself and him that this will pay off within two

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

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

    I had orientation today from 8a-2p. It was a great day! The Dean of Nursing is so nice. She laid out what the semester will look like, how busy we'll be, told us it's ok to cry (lol). I met two of my...

  4. Davis's Drug Guide for Nurses

    Purple_roses posted a topic in General Students

    Is there an important difference between the 13th and 14th edition? My school lists the 14th edition on my book list, but I can get the 13th for $10, but am leery about doing this just in case there...

  5. First Day of Nursing School- Tips

    Purple_roses replied to PlayaChickRN's topic in General Students

    Oh, that's a good question about which books to take. I have orientation tomorrow and Thursday, so I may ask while I'm there and come back here with feedback. There is only one person I'm already...

  6. Maintaining immune system in NS

    Purple_roses replied to TexRN's topic in General Students

    I'm going to drink a green smoothie every morning with kale, romaine hearts, ginger, pear or apple, berries, and almond milk. I'm trying to clean up my diet now, before school starts. I'm also going...

  7. It's Official

    Purple_roses replied to BPerez32's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Congrats on passing nursing school OP! Good luck on

  8. need vaccine titer help!

    Purple_roses replied to direw0lf's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There is a hospital in my school's area that gave the titer test for $36 total as long as students in my program provided their school ID. It would be worth asking your school's nursing office if...

  9. "How are we doing today?"

    Purple_roses replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    That's just the weirdest thing to call someone who isn't your

  10. "How are we doing today?"

    Purple_roses replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    What???

  11. The aggravation of it all

    Purple_roses replied to kariace's topic in General Students

    Yep, I've been working overtime and selling electronics. I still might need to borrow money for a few of my books. The government is insane. Even though I support myself, I'm considered a dependent...

  12. I have a dilemma

    Purple_roses replied to Careerchange88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If your pre req GPA is a 3.7 (and if that is what the program you're applying to weighs more heavily versus overall GPA), and with your Hesi score, I think it would be worth it to at least apply and...

  13. This week, I have learned... (8/8)

    Purple_roses replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    Absolutely! People got on me for wanting wine with my lunch on a day off last week. It's 5 o'clock

  14. Help Me Please!

    Purple_roses replied to J3w3lz88's topic in General Students

    There's a couple things that this could be chalked up to: You may not have figured out how to study. There truly is a method to the madness. It takes skill to learn to read with comprehension, and...

  15. Medical terminology or not?

    Purple_roses replied to akcw1981's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well sure, it helped. But you don't always have to pay for helpful knowledge. There are many free resources out there that can help you learn medical terminology. Library books, quizlet. You can rent...

  16. Clubbing is the New Black

    Purple_roses replied to adventure_rn's topic in Nursing Humor

    But this can come back to bite you. At first you're all happy because the patient is willing to wipe herself, but then she refuses to wash her hands and you stand in helpless horror as you watch her...

  17. Clubbing is the New Black

    Purple_roses replied to adventure_rn's topic in Nursing Humor

    My parents are the exact same way, so I can empathize. Gotta love 'em

  18. Medical terminology or not?

    Purple_roses replied to akcw1981's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would let it go. I took a medical terminology class before the rest of my pre reqs, and I honestly believe you'll learn what you need to know through your other classes, depending on the teacher I...

  19. Clubbing is the New Black

    Purple_roses replied to adventure_rn's topic in Nursing Humor

    I just thought of three responses, typed them out, and deleted them. Bless her

  20. Why is it inappropriate to stand up for yourself?

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

    Even if the OP did do something wrong initially, the doc should not have yelled at her publicly--now that's unprofessional. I'm sure the patient wasn't listening to a word the doc said because the...

  21. starting school/supplies

    Purple_roses replied to FuturePN's topic in General Students

    Well, on top of the obvious things that are truly supplies you need, I would say to get some cozy things so that you actually enjoy being in your office. I love lighting candles when I study. It just...

  22. Community College should accept me as a Citizen of the United States

    Purple_roses replied to annalatreille's topic in Nurse Registration

    The OP may not realize that being a US citizen is not the only criterion for admission to a nursing

  23. Clubbing is the New Black

    Purple_roses replied to adventure_rn's topic in Nursing Humor

    It looks like a disease. It really

  24. Community College should accept me as a Citizen of the United States

    Purple_roses replied to annalatreille's topic in Nurse Registration

    Hello there! Sometimes colleges are pickier than they need to be. While it's true that the BON only wants you to retake OB and Med/Surg, most schools will not accept you into their program just to...

  25. Respect for New Nurses

    Purple_roses replied to Taylorgrn15's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    They sound like that have no business being in healthcare. Who would fail to care for a human being just to prove a point? That's disgusting. I agree with Commuter--send them home. Sure you'll be...
