  1. The Truth About Nursing

    Purple_roses replied to LorieStesk's topic in General Nursing

    Meeee. Babies scare me. They really

  2. home health CNA

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

    I have not learned valuable medical skills while working home care. I've sharpened my interpersonal communication skills, but nothing

  3. Nursing School Scrubs Nostalgia

    Purple_roses replied to Brian's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Mine is white and green. I honestly don't mind the colors at all :) But good luck to any person who tells me I have to wear a

  4. Why do you think for profit schools becoming so common with nursing?

    Purple_roses replied to pixiestudent2's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think this will affect how others view nurses, simply because a degree doesn't get you an RN job. Passing NCLEX does. The majority of RNs do not come from for-profit schools. Also, hospitals...

  5. clinicals

    Purple_roses replied to futurepsychrn's topic in General Students

    Wow!!! Major lapse in judgement

  6. clinicals

    Purple_roses replied to futurepsychrn's topic in General Students

    I think it's a good thing that you are trying to be as productive as possible. You want to stay busy, you want to learn, and that is a good

  7. Are We "Glorifying" Nurses?

    Purple_roses replied to nynursey_'s topic in General Nursing

    I think the main take away is this: the author of the "article" sucks. Plain and simple. Is nursing the hardest thing there was or ever will be? Of course not. Does that mean it's ok to belittle the...

  8. Laptop suggestions

    Purple_roses replied to nativenurse2b2017's topic in General Students

    Quizlet is my best friend! I type my notes into quizlet and Evernote too sometimes. Then I can just pull all those flash cards and notes up on my iPhone or laptop and I have everything with me in one...

  9. Laptop suggestions

    Purple_roses replied to nativenurse2b2017's topic in General Students

    I also think it's a good idea to handwrite notes in the classroom. I handwrite my notes and then type them up later that night. One of my classmates last semester had her computer crash in the middle...

  10. Laptop suggestions

    Purple_roses replied to nativenurse2b2017's topic in General Students

    My first laptop was awful. It was like a boulder with keys taped on it. The keys even started falling off after one year of use! (And I am not that hard on eletronics.) It crashed after two years. I...

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

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

    AllHeart is having a 10% off sale today if anyone still needs to buy clinical supplies. Just throwing that out there

  12. clinicals

    Purple_roses replied to futurepsychrn's topic in General Students

    OP, it is at this exact point that things started to go

  13. clinicals

    Purple_roses replied to futurepsychrn's topic in General Students

    It's hard for nursing schools to secure clinical sites and it's also very easy for schools to lose access to sites based on student behavior. No clinical site=no nursing school. Of course the...

  14. Job ideas during ADN program???

    Purple_roses replied to tay_rechea's topic in General Nursing

    I do believe that's the course length, although I became a CNA when it only took 3 weeks, so I'm not quite sure. I have only ever worked as a home care CNA, so I will give you my input on that....

  15. Are We "Glorifying" Nurses?

    Purple_roses replied to nynursey_'s topic in General Nursing

    This.

  16. It's not my job to pray with you.

    Purple_roses replied to kickatthedark's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I completely agree with you. I hadn't thought about those trying to convert the nurse. I was thinking more along the lines of a patient who wants to whisper a quick prayer and just wants the nurse to...

  17. Job ideas during ADN program???

    Purple_roses replied to tay_rechea's topic in General Nursing

    Whatever job happens to be flexible. I work as a home care CNA and my boss completely works around my school schedule. It's

  18. It's not my job to pray with you.

    Purple_roses replied to kickatthedark's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    If you feel equally uncomfortable with both situations then, for your own sake, you really should get someone else to pray with the person. As I said earlier, sometimes people are afraid or hesitant...

  19. You should know better

    Purple_roses replied to adventure_rn's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes I salt already salted chips. Secretly though....I do it when everyone is looking away

  20. Laptop suggestions

    Purple_roses replied to nativenurse2b2017's topic in General Students

    I love iPhones, in part because I'm incapable of figuring out the android operating system (seriously, I get so frustrated when I try out my friends' phones). I figured I'd love Macs too, but they...

  21. Laptop suggestions

    Purple_roses replied to nativenurse2b2017's topic in General Students

    All this talk of the Surface Pro 3 is making me want to ditch my Mac. *grudgingly whispers* get with the program

  22. Are We "Glorifying" Nurses?

    Purple_roses replied to nynursey_'s topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I agree with this. I actually have two friends who "made" it into nursing programs without doing anything. No GPAs were considered, no interviews were given, pre reqs did not have to be completed...

  23. Are We "Glorifying" Nurses?

    Purple_roses replied to nynursey_'s topic in General Nursing

    Yes. I've had people make comments to me along the lines of, "Oh, you went for where the money is."

  24. Nursing School has made me a hypochondriac

    Purple_roses replied to Trama_junky's topic in General Students

    Yes. Haha. I have to remind myself every once in a while that I was totally fine before school started

  25. does the PVT still work?

    Purple_roses replied to Lab22's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs
