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

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

    From what I've heard, most of the books you get first semester will be used throughout the whole program. So I bought all of

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

  4. Spiral Femur Fx in toddler

    Purple_roses replied to lahryn18's topic in Pediatric

    I don't know if we can really help you with this. We don't have all the information and this is potentially a very big issue. I would seek out advice on this matter from a more reputable

  5. Worst/silliest/are you serious pt complaint you've received?

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

    My client's daughter thought it was absolutely absurd that I discouraged her 89 year old, diabetic, fall risk father from having 4 beers within an

  6. Nursing prerequisites help!!

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

    Have you figured out which school you wish to attend? If so, you need to speak with an advisor to see which school's credits they will accept. I would recommend getting pre reqs done at an acceptable...

  7. Gender bias

    Purple_roses replied to Zooey72's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I think he's upset because it minimizes his accomplishments. He worked really hard for wonderful grades and then found out they care more about his gender than how hard he worked. At least that's how...

  8. I cry when I'm stressed

    Purple_roses replied to Megan27's topic in General Nursing

    I really think hospitals and nursing homes should hire people whose only job is to answer call lights, enter the the things requested into a tablet, and then let the nurse log into the system to...

  9. Com'on, you got one...What is your heart wrenching moment?

    Purple_roses replied to CrunchBerries's topic in General Nursing

  10. Gender bias

    Purple_roses replied to Zooey72's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Don't make a big deal about it because ultimately, you do want to get in. And you deserve to get in with those grades. So don't do anything that will jeopardize that. Does it suck that some woman out...

  14. Com'on, you got one...What is your heart wrenching moment?

    Purple_roses replied to CrunchBerries's topic in General Nursing

    I honestly don't think it would have been better for the family to know. He'd said goodbye, and to them, it was his illness and his time to die; there's more peace in that than in knowing that it may...

  16. What does it take to be HH nurse?

    Purple_roses replied to tachynut's topic in Home Health

    Your posts always make me think I might look into HH one day. You seem like you really do enjoy your

  17. No calculators allowed as an RN?

    Purple_roses replied to dancediva234's topic in General Students

    I doubt that's true. However, it is imperative to have the necessary math skills should you ever find yourself without a calculator--which is absolutely not likely to happen, but you never know I...

  18. I'm running away to PetSmart

    Purple_roses replied to Purple_roses's topic in Nursing Humor

    This is probably what would happen to me. I'd be on that hoarding show (if it's still even on?) for all the animals I could manage to pack into a tiny

    Purple_roses replied to missyelaine02's topic in General Nursing

    I find it very odd that they didn't discuss the specific situation with

  21. I'm the worst CNA they ever had

    Purple_roses replied to jarae's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Good for you! Do what's best for your learning experience. I actually really like my job and my company, and right now I've got some clients that I would miss if I left. But I am considering applying...

  22. I'm the worst CNA they ever had

    Purple_roses replied to jarae's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I couldn't disagree with you more. It is absolutely not wrong to stand up for yourself. There have been times a mentally ill client has been mean, and I've accepted that because they cannot help what...

  23. I'm the worst CNA they ever had

    Purple_roses replied to jarae's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Oh goodness. I feel like I have had this client before. I'm also a home care CNA. So here's the deal: we make what? $9-$10? Certainly not enough to put up with crap like that. I would take myself...

  24. After prereq downtime.

    Purple_roses replied to Zooey72's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In my personal opinion, I think you should wait to start in the Fall at the school that you originally wanted to go to. You've got the right idea: knock some classes out of the way for your future...

  25. newbie and nervous

    Purple_roses replied to faithkae18's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My favorite way to make flash cards was through Quizlet.com. They also have an app. I took notes in class, came home that night and typed those notes up or entered the info into Quizlet. Do all of...
