  1. Sexy male scrubs

    Purple_roses replied to Betenhauser's topic in Men in Nursing

    Amidst all the depressing/stressful situations we encounter, we may at least look

  2. Ok to start nursing career in a clinic setting?

    Purple_roses replied to kmichels1's topic in General Nursing

    Personally, I would take the job. I'm still a student, but when I graduate I'm applying to several states in several different settings and will take the first/best offer that comes my way. But I'm...

  3. pre nursing student

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

    Well, we really have absolutely no idea if you'll be able to get in. *Usually* if you're applying to a competitive school, Cs are no good. Does your program allow you to repeat a pre req course? Good...

  4. Can I Become a Registered Nurse While Being TERRIBLE At Math?

    Purple_roses replied to HarleyQuinn's topic in General Students

    I struggled with math at your age too. I can honestly say there was an age for me when things just started to "click." Your knowledge and understanding has time to improve. Yes, you will use math as a...

  5. Nursing's Transition: Creating Inclusive Healthcare Settings for Transgendered Patients

    Purple_roses replied to Jessica Quigley's topic in General Nursing

    I also have a little story to tell you guys. I was in a nursing home caring for a patient that only had a few days left to live. The patient's family was all there, and I had very little time for...

  6. Get Your Glowiest, Most Radiant Skin Ever

    Purple_roses replied to janeensmith168's topic in General Nursing

    I read this at 6:59 in the morning and there was no punctuation. Do you have idea how frustrating that

  7. Chemistry and A&P II

    Purple_roses replied to tbird88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did not think either of those classes was hard necessarily, just time consuming. Will you have enough time to dedicate to each class during a winter

  8. Why do nurses seem to have a bad reputation?

    Purple_roses replied to unbrokenx3's topic in General Nursing

    Well I mean, Grey's Anatomy also shows a surgeon trying to nearly kill a patient so he could jump to the top of the transplant list. I don't think anyone actually formulates opinions on healthcare...

  9. what are some of the ways you studied for A&P.

    Purple_roses replied to asiamikell's topic in General Students

    I made hundreds upon hundreds of online flashcards on Quizlet.com (they have a mobile app too) and studied those and my notes constantly. I organized them by different body systems. I also drew...

  10. Dating during school

    Purple_roses replied to level1's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I merely dated someone I was in class with. He was respectful, I was respectful. But it was still extremely awkward when it ended because we still had to go to school together. Just warning you, it's...

  11. What's the meanest thing a patient has said to you?

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

    I was accused of being a bumble bee and was then swatted at. Admittedly, not the worst accusation in the

  12. what do you say to friends who want to copy

    Purple_roses replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    People did this to me too, except I wouldn't let them. The way our labs in chemistry worked, we couldn't leave until our partner was done with all the work sheets too. Mine wouldn't try to figure...

  13. Unwanted 'diagnosis'!

    Purple_roses replied to WinterLilac's topic in General Nursing

    That was so ridiculously rude of him. And, one cannot spot a thyroid disorder simply by looking at someone. And what in the heck is a "trained herbalist"? I mean, my friend tried an expense protein...

  14. Nursing Bag

    Purple_roses replied to StaceyTr88's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I bought a Vera Bradley bag for 50% off. I wouldn't normally spend that much on a school bag, but I also use it for everything else, whether it be taking it to work or on a vacation. The Vera style is...

  15. "My Tech" or "My Aide"

    Purple_roses replied to dreamer30's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I completely agree with your description of what a nurse should be: when he/she is able to help, he/she does. You've had crappy experiences with nurses, so I can see where your view is coming from....

  16. "My Tech" or "My Aide"

    Purple_roses replied to dreamer30's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    If you would like your path to Doctor of Physical Therapy to be a smooth one, I would suggest that you stop it with this inferiority complex. Seriously. I am a CNA and I can assure you delegation is...

  17. Applying To Nursing School

    Purple_roses replied to amandaa10's topic in General Students

    Honestly, nobody here can answer that for you. Some have been accepted with 2.7 GPAs and some have been rejected with 4.0s. It really depends on your area and program. You'll need to do some

  18. Test outs

    Purple_roses replied to Chrissyshanta's topic in LPN to RN

    I would check and see what text book your college uses for that class and study from that. For what it's worth, my personal opinion is that A&P is a class that you may want to designate a lot of...

  19. You are not a nurse...

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

    Guilty as charged! "Sorry, I can't make it to your second cousin's daughter's Easter recital because....nursing student." Nobody argues with

  20. "My Tech" or "My Aide"

    Purple_roses replied to dreamer30's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Well I was just called "the help" twice today. Home health aid

  21. New grads and Social Media

    Purple_roses replied to NICU Guy's topic in General Students

    I'm planning on deleting my Facebook as soon as I start to apply for jobs. I've never done drugs, not an alcoholic, but there's always that one friend that posts the most ridiculous candid photo that...

  22. Nursing and the sex industry

    Purple_roses replied to itsme0987's topic in General Nursing

    I must say, this camming thread is way more interesting than the last

  23. Nursing and the sex industry

    Purple_roses replied to itsme0987's topic in General Nursing

    Hahaha! We're all too

  24. Nursing and the sex industry

    Purple_roses replied to itsme0987's topic in General Nursing

    Before last week, half of us didn't even know what camming was, and now we have two posts within such a short time

  25. First semester was really hard.

    Purple_roses replied to Pistachio830's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Way to take responsibility for yourself! You didn't blame any one else--you made the changes that needed to be made and succeeded. I sincerely hope you continue to do well in your program.
