  1. Becoming a nurse is no longer an option for me?

    Purple_roses replied to KAThftf's topic in General Students

    OP, Heathermaize brings up a good point: does your mom know that giving her tax info on the FAFSA does not mean she has to cosign for anything? It is simply a way to determine how much federal aid you...

  2. Death of a Dream

    Purple_roses replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    Woohoo!!!

  3. Becoming a nurse is no longer an option for me?

    Purple_roses replied to KAThftf's topic in General Students

    Here's my line of thinking. The 80s were a different world. College was not as much of a priority as it is today, and it was still possible to obtain a decent job without a college education. Today,...

  4. Becoming a nurse is no longer an option for me?

    Purple_roses replied to KAThftf's topic in General Students

    But in order to get that government loan, she needs her mom to provide her tax information of the FAFSA, which the mother is unwilling to

  5. Got credits transferred, should I go through with nursing program?

    Purple_roses replied to gingerdee's topic in General Students

    You don't have to be a saint to be a nurse. Sure, you should have compassion, but it is not the top trait. A nurse is someone who is knowledgable, can think and act quickly, has a strong personality...

  6. Becoming a nurse is no longer an option for me?

    Purple_roses replied to KAThftf's topic in General Students

    I completely agree. If you cannot be there to parent your children, then don't have more children and force your existing ones to babysit so much so that they cannot go about starting their own lives....

    Purple_roses replied to KAThftf's topic in General Students

  8. I'm running away to PetSmart

    Purple_roses replied to Purple_roses's topic in Nursing Humor

    My cat would be one of those misbehaved ones! She's the sweetest thing, but when she sees that thermometer coming toward her hiney, it's game

  9. Becoming a nurse is no longer an option for me?

    Purple_roses replied to KAThftf's topic in General Students

    I really don't think OP is being overly negative here. I think she is young, has no idea of what to do, and has a mother who is giving her absolutely no guidance. I'm thankful my parents were there to...

  10. not so NETY

    Purple_roses replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in General Nursing

    This is not NETY, but I can understand wanting a more experienced nurse to train

  11. Becoming a nurse is no longer an option for me?

    Purple_roses replied to KAThftf's topic in General Students

    I know the responses seem harsh OP, but since your mother apparently refuses to give you guidance, take the advice here. You do NOT have to give up your educational goals. Follow the above posters'...

    Purple_roses replied to KAThftf's topic in General Students

    Isn't there a section on the FAFSA where you can select that a parent refuses to give

  13. Patients wants a back rub

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

    I also think it's "icky," but I'm also very weird about personal touch

  14. Teamwork...Why do we do this to ourselves?

    Purple_roses replied to Beachbum671's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Wouldn't a PCP want to reassure the patient that he/she is in the best hands? Insinuating that an RN can't be trusted as much does nothing for the patient's emotional

  15. I Want To Support My Pre-Nursing Student Girlfriend. Please Help!

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

    The fact that you even noticed that is INSANE ya crazy female! Go take a Midol,

  16. What is the motivation for bullying?

    Purple_roses replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    I think there are some people who do good only because they'll be penalized otherwise. Yes, there are people like that. And then there are people who do good because they want to be a good person. As...

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

    Man Who Posts Long Thread: can you please refrain from doing that again. Mkay bye. Signed, INSANE

  18. What is the motivation for bullying?

    Purple_roses replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    I would love to know the answer to this. I can understand disliking someone and trying not to spend a lot of time with them, but I cannot understand going out of the way to be horrible to someone,...

  19. Anatomy of the Brain

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

    Unfortunately, I do not have any helpful tricks for remembering the anatomy of the brain. It just takes time to memorize it. I googled pictures of each part and would close my eyes and try to picture...

  20. Nursing Class Attire-Sweats/Leggings

    Purple_roses replied to nyrnicu115's topic in General Students

    This is my first semester, and I'll probably dress casually: leggings with a nice shirt, jeans, I don't ever wear sweatpants simply because I don't like them. Make sure you're clean and don't smell....

    Purple_roses replied to natmanzo's topic in General Students

    If your school has a gym, use it. It's easy to just stop by the gym after a day of

  22. Holy cow! My book total is how much?!

    Purple_roses replied to MeiDei's topic in General Students

    I'm right there with you. Those access codes are awful--it costs so much money just to be able to do your homework. I hate how much eduction costs. Thankfully, the rest of the semesters will be way...

  23. This week, I learned (7/18).....

    Purple_roses replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you! I saw something about that Lauren Condra or whatever planner, looked it up and saw it was $50?!?! What if you spill tea on it? Or vodka? It has all the same things my $10 planner has. This...

  25. This week, I learned (7/18).....

    Purple_roses replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I second the self care comment Rose Queen. I find myself picking up more shifts, while cutting out exercising and eating more junk food because it's convenient. I have never been more tired or more...
