  1. Failed A&P: Need Study Advice for Lecture Part

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

    I've bolded a major red flag. "Less time consuming" is not going to improve your grades. If flashcards worked for you, I would recommend Quizlet, as it takes less time to create the flashcards and you...

  2. New RN, direct hire to ER?

    Purple_roses replied to AudreyLynn's topic in Emergency

    I've had three ADN RN friends get jobs in the ER right after passing NCLEX. It may depend on the area you're in--I'm in

  3. Honest reply....

    Purple_roses replied to cupcakeluver's topic in General Students

    My aunt was in a similar position and went to a dental school. She was very pleased with the experience and recommends it to everyone without good dental

  4. What I learned this week (7/4/15)....

    Purple_roses replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I always picture Joey from Friends when I read that.

  5. Is it possible to be successful in nursing with poor social skills?

    Purple_roses replied to Gummibear_stare's topic in General Nursing

    I think it could be harder for you when you start clinicals...but I also think that nursing school could serve to improve your social skills if you push yourself. ETA:...

  6. I shouldn't feel guilty, right?

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

    I would feel guiltier about getting an elderly person sick--their immune systems aren't stellar. Sickness lingers and lingers and lingers for them sometimes. I'm positive your boss does indeed think...

  7. Resident fell, now I'm fired

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

    Yes. From start to finish, it sounds like this particular facility is a disaster waiting to

  8. Resident fell, now I'm fired

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

    Let me just say that I am so sorry this happened to you. Was it safe to attempt to help your resident by yourself? No, but you had the best of intentions. I would also feel badly about leaving someone...

  9. The Hotel Phenomenon

    Purple_roses replied to Jacqueline.Damm's topic in General Nursing

    I think dudette10, BSN, RN has a good point. Instead of saying that we should stop providing these things for the patients, maybe hospitals should stop letting all of the responsibility fall on the...

  10. The Wisdom of Lurking

    Purple_roses replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't mean that all new posters are like that. You seem to be very polite

  11. The Wisdom of Lurking

    Purple_roses replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    I love this. But....I think the new ones who are likely to post those annoying first threads probably aren't taking the time to read this particular thread.

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

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

    Well I hope you make it in! I bet you will with those

  13. Strange Interview

    Purple_roses replied to tattooednurse26's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    As klone said, this person, in a round about way, told you that this hospice agency does not treat its nurses well enough for them to stick

  14. Migraines and nursing?

    Purple_roses replied to MeganStar's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    As others have said, if you get aura with your migraines, that can actually be a small blessing. It's a little warning sign. As soon as you feel the aura coming on, take your meds. Often, the migraine...

  15. What To Do

    Purple_roses replied to michelle89's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    1. The student who left early multiple times may have spoken with the teacher before hand to get permission to do this. When I was in CNA training, some of my classmates showed up late too and it...

  16. Wouldn't it make more sense to have all nurses become Rn's first?

    Purple_roses replied to smartnurse1982's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Wait....I'm very confused on what your view is and what your actual question is. Also, I'm pretty certain that this topic has been brought up before. Try searching

  17. New to allnurses!

    Purple_roses replied to noelly10's topic in General Nursing

    I think if you just make sure you spend some time reading the threads and responses that already exist, you'll be able to determine how things work here

  18. You should know better

    Purple_roses replied to adventure_rn's topic in General Nursing

    Beer. I love my beer. Raise your Matilda if you're ready for the

  19. Which one did you do while in Nursing school?

    Purple_roses replied to Mchs4735's topic in General Students

    Interested in seeing the responses because I'm trying to decide what to do as well. I was thinking about just working on the weekends. I'm taking out loans for school, but I absolutely do not want to...

  20. Most Ridiculous Med Order

    Purple_roses replied to fitzfan82's topic in Emergency

    And if someone *did* actually consume an entire tray of forks, knives and spoons, he would just wait for the person to poop it

  21. Is this right?

    Purple_roses replied to kariace's topic in General Students

    You will need to take A&P as well, but you cannot take that if you do not know the basics of

  22. Is this right?

    Purple_roses replied to kariace's topic in General Students

    Looks almost exactly like my first semester of pre reqs. You have to prove you're competent in those areas before you can move on to actual nursing pre reqs. See if your school will let you test out...

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

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

    I'm pretty sure mine is going to feel like a prop for a while.

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

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

    Well if I see you guys on here too much during the semester, I'm calling you out--and if I notice you're on here too much, it means I am too

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

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

    I'll invest! I'm just glad I like to read. Maybe it won't be completely torturous for me I have to switch books every 40 or 50 minutes to keep myself engaged. And I have to keep my phone out of...
