  1. Nursing School Supplies

    Purple_roses replied to TexRN's topic in General Students

    Can I post a mini hijack here to ask what is significant about the Erin Condren planner? I had never heard of them before coming on this site. OP, there are some helpful clinical supplies that you...

  2. Now that I was accepted I am freaking out

    Purple_roses replied to kkbb's topic in General Students

    You are not the only one! I went into my nursing interview and actually found out at the end that I had made it into the program. I was so excited on the drive back that I nearly blew a stop sign....

  3. New grads in specialties without the basics

    Purple_roses replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    When I'm a new grad, I actually would not want to start on ER. I would like some more experience first because I don't trust myself. I imagine myself looking like a five year old wobbling on a bicycle...

  4. Having a night nurse as a roomate ?

    Purple_roses replied to arack05's topic in General Nursing

    Nope, not a bad idea. I did this. I usually worked 8am-8pm, and my roommate worked 7pm-7am and it worked pretty well. Granted, we rarely saw each other, but conflicts did not

  5. Challenges of applying for nursing schools

    Purple_roses replied to kat1818's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    My program did not consider volunteer work either. I'm not sure that I've every heard of a BSN program that does. Most programs require at least a 3.0 to be considered: this is because, statistically...

  6. Do you KNOW what nursing is?

    Purple_roses replied to Glycerine82's topic in General Students

    Last semester, one of my classmates sat all the way in the back and just put headphones in during class. She struggled to maintain the required GPA to even be considered for the nursing program, and...

  7. I'm running away to PetSmart

    Purple_roses replied to Purple_roses's topic in Nursing Humor

    I did this very thing! I'd had a rough week at work and now I have a little fur

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

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

    Wifeoffireman congratulations on your

  10. Do you KNOW what nursing is?

    Purple_roses replied to Glycerine82's topic in General Students

    I mean we paid how many hundreds of dollars for all those books? May as well read them

  11. Nurse Supervisor sleeps with the staff, it's bringing down morale!

    Purple_roses replied to TheLazyCNA's topic in General Nursing

    Well, it seems OP has left in a huff. Apparently our dislike of his use of the word "retarded," especially the fact that he used it to describe sexually active females, means we are an angry mob who...

  12. I'm running away to PetSmart

    Purple_roses replied to Purple_roses's topic in Nursing Humor

    Probably not as exciting as nursing, but you got to see all those cute dogs! Did you hold that job while working through

  13. I'm running away to PetSmart

    Purple_roses replied to Purple_roses's topic in Nursing Humor

    Oh well that's a bummer. I would love to volunteer for the pet adoptions on Saturdays, but that would defeat the purpose of saving money for

  14. Low GPA and NP school

    Purple_roses replied to jarae's topic in General Students

    I've met lots and lots of nursing students who have well above 3.0s. Manage your time well. The reason you must have a good GPA in grad school is because this shows the school that you have the...

  15. Nurse Supervisor sleeps with the staff, it's bringing down morale!

    Purple_roses replied to TheLazyCNA's topic in General Nursing

    He's bragging about paying them? Was he egotistically joking, or do you think he was honestly paying them? If the latter, I could see this being a

  16. Nurse Supervisor sleeps with the staff, it's bringing down morale!

    Purple_roses replied to TheLazyCNA's topic in General Nursing

    Are you sure these are sexual favors? Or are they simply having sex. There's a difference. Some people have sex because they find it to be fun--crazy, I

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

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

    I'm somewhere between being eager to start and soaking up all my free time. I'm going to six flags next week--thought I'd get it in now before it's too late! Is the coursework interesting so

  18. Worried pre nursing student

    Purple_roses replied to krissy220's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Others have been in this very position and have been successful. Start with the LPN program and focus on that for right now. I believe bridge programs are a bit easier to get into, so focus on getting...

  19. What are you looking forward to...

    Purple_roses replied to LovelyLocs's topic in General Students

    I want to go to Ireland with a few close friends when I'm done. Stay in a cozy bed and breakfast and tour all those

  20. Need to find a new nursing school

    Purple_roses replied to Mathath7's topic in School, College Programs

    Do all vocational programs require

  21. Low GPA and NP school

    Purple_roses replied to jarae's topic in General Students

    I think you should focus on getting above a 3.0 in nursing school. Right now you're already planning for failure--you're already trying to decide what to do when you don't get the right GPA. Work your...

  22. Nursing backpack

    Purple_roses replied to jesh_'s topic in General Students

    I'm just going to give you my personal opinion: I get annoyed by rolling backpacks. They get in the way of everything and they are so loud. That's just me though. Some people love them. I bought a...

  23. Consider This Before Paying For KAPLAN Or Any NCLEX Preparation "Course"

    Purple_roses replied to ThatNursingDude's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Interesting. I'm curious about what other RNs have to say. My friend failed her NCLEX twice before buying Kaplan and then passing on the third attempt. She said that it didn't really give her any more...

  24. The Truth About Nursing

    Purple_roses replied to LorieStesk's topic in General Nursing

    Ouch! You going to let than one slide

  25. BSN programs are harder than ADN

    Purple_roses replied to ExpBrittany's topic in General Students

    Who cares. They both come out being able to give the same level of nursing care. When an ADN RN goes back to school for the ADN-BSN bridge program, they will get all those same assignments. Maybe in...
