  1. Nursing and the supernatural

    Purple_roses replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Whoa.

  2. Medical Missions

    Purple_roses replied to mmc51264's topic in General Nursing

    That is actually something I was concerned about for myself. I'm not a very religious person myself, though I absolutely don't mind others participating. I read through some testimonials of RNs who...

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

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

    The OP does not want to be a nurse, first of all. And it's ok for people to admit that they don't have the capability to do something. Some people don't have what it takes to be a nurse, just like I...

  4. Internships for Pre-Nursing students

    Purple_roses replied to changr's topic in General Students

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

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

    First of all, I never said you were juvenile. I simply wanted you to know why those are the terms of service. No, someone who's first language is not English will not understand text speak. I suppose...

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

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

    Studentnurse that was about the same with my school, although we had a little less applications, but they accepted 40. Acceptance was based on GPA and an interview. I had a

  16. The Truth About Nursing

    Purple_roses replied to LorieStesk's topic in General Nursing

    One of the only guys in my class last semester made obnoxious jokes the entire class, so much so that I actually am missing notes from not being able to hear the teacher at times. Slim pickin's as far...

  17. My first dump and run

    Purple_roses replied to JBMmom's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    True. One man was only in his 60s when he was losing his wife. He took such good care of her and hardly ever left her side. He was actually not there the night she passed, and from our conversation...

  18. The Truth About Nursing

    Purple_roses replied to LorieStesk's topic in General Nursing

    Cost of living is different in different areas. Here in Indiana, starting out at $23 an hour is pretty good considering that cost of living is lower. In Chicago, $27 an hour really is not much at all....

  19. Strange CoWorker Stories

    Purple_roses replied to Adele_Michal7's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  20. Strange CoWorker Stories

    Purple_roses replied to Adele_Michal7's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Purple_roses replied to B0yMomX2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think you have a couple options. 1) Go to school full time while working. This would be hard because you have kids, but sometimes it is doable. 2) Go to school part time so that you can work at...

  23. The Truth About Nursing

    Purple_roses replied to LorieStesk's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with you. I met a guy who is about to enter his first year. He's doing it because you "*only* have to work three twelve hour shifts." He has no idea how long 12 hours can be

    Purple_roses replied to JBMmom's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Oh I hate these stories. I was shocked one day to realize that some families do not allow their loved ones to call. I met a LOL with dementia (I was not actually working with her) who was convinced...
