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

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

    I don't have orientation until August :/ I'm very excited about starting the nursing program, and shockingly, not yet nervous. I was ridiculously nervous for my interview a couple of months ago...the...

  2. Failed A Course...

    Purple_roses replied to Kyliemb's topic in General Students

    Oh that's what it's always been. We're all just a bunch of ridiculous loons wishing failure on a poor student. *insert sarcasm

    Someone please tell me this person did not just call Mirandaaa a

  4. Failed A Course...

    Purple_roses replied to Kyliemb's topic in General Students

    Last year I worked oodles of overtime and just barely raked in 20k. My thinking is "why would I waste that money on a school that will not prepare me to pass NCLEX?" Your degree means absolutely...

  5. Failed A Course...

    Purple_roses replied to Kyliemb's topic in General Students

    Mirandaaa is absolutely giving you constructive criticism. Her words were not harsh, but truthful. Would you rather we stroke your ego or give you legitimate advice? If your school truly is doing...

  6. I was accepted into nursing school, but I don't know if this is what I want. Please help?

    Purple_roses replied to Collegegirl94's topic in General Nursing

    Do you want to be a nurse? Or do you want to hold whatever job you would have after grad school? That needs to be the determining factor. Yes, school will suck for a little while, but it will only...

    Purple_roses replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    From what I gather about you on this site, any noob would be lucky to get you as a preceptor. I took a vacation this week--and learned to apply sunscreen to your ears.

  11. Become a Nurse without Nursing School

    Purple_roses replied to Longa's topic in General Nursing

    I swear on my stethoscope that I will do this. We'll probably be taking NCLEX around the same time. I'll remind you to keep your **** together.

  12. Titers and UDS taking forever to come back

    Purple_roses replied to GSPmom's topic in General Students

    Mine didn't take that long to come in, although I had mine done at a hospital that specifically worked with the students from my particular college. I still had mine done a month and a half earlier...

  13. I got reported to HR

    Purple_roses replied to katie92's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    My "friends of color" giggle a little when I tell them they're colorful. Not everything needs to be taken seriously. I would not walk up to a random person and call them colorful. Also, hashtags mean...

    Purple_roses replied to katie92's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm Caucasian and have several colorful friends...I've worked with several deeper skinned ladies....I've taken care of several elderly, colorful people. I've never encountered a problem. My thinking...

  20. I'm a sexless nurse

    Purple_roses replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    The OP definitely was not talking about that, but another poster on here did mention how hard it apparently is for men in nursing to be professional when caring for a women. The poster made it seem...

  22. I'm a sexless nurse

    Purple_roses replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    I did not even look! I was a little shocked to say the least and said, "If you think there's a problem, go see a doctor" before I left that

  23. I got reported to HR

    Purple_roses replied to katie92's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Even if you DID say it rudely, reporting one mildly rude comment to HR seems like too much effort to go through. It's equivalent to, "MOM! She looked at me

  24. I'm a sexless nurse

    Purple_roses replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Trust me, you--as a woman--do not want to go back fifty years ago. I blush when men make rude or sexual remarks toward me. A man at a bar found out I was a nursing student and proceeded to pull down...

  25. I'm a sexless nurse

    Purple_roses replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    To me, it's simply a body part that needs just as much care as the rest of our body parts. We all have bodies. We all have genitalia. Catheterizing someone is not a sexual act. You are making...
