  1. You are not a nurse...

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

    It's actually illegal for her to refer to herself as a nurse if she has not passed NCLEX. She sounds ridiculous. I once worked with a QMA who told everyone she was a nurse, and quite honestly, it's...

  2. Question IF I Make The Leap Into Nursing?

    Purple_roses replied to Poppyfields00's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a home health aid too, and yesterday I visited someone on hospice. Her hospice nurse arrived shortly after I did, sat down next to my client and gave her the longest hug. After she made a few...

    Oh, I literally laughed out loud at

  4. what's the best option.please help asap

    Purple_roses replied to bibi10's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It sounds like you really want to start nursing ASAP, and I really do understand that. I really do. Once you figure out what you want to do, it's hard to wait. But you need to wait. You have a lot of...

  7. suspended for doing the right thing...

    Purple_roses replied to farmernurse26's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    These are the parents that are ruining school for everyone else. Now this school is going to basically outlaw sugar for everyone because one parent gets upset that their child cannot have it while...

  8. Death of a Dream

    Purple_roses replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    Can I ask why this is so important to you? You have stated your opinion over and over again. Is the OP's life really so upsetting to you that you cannot resist typing an argumentative reply to every...

  9. Death of a Dream

    Purple_roses replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    Here's a thought: what if we DIDN'T attack people on the Internet. Seriously people, this is a nursing forum. We have a nurse lamenting the fact she has to put her life on hold right now. You are not...

  10. Thinking of switching from nurse to elementary teacher. Bad idea?

    Purple_roses replied to Skips's topic in Nursing Career

    Well, since you do already have the RN license, you may as well try to get a job as a school nurse to see if you'll be satisfied with that. Give it time, and if you'd still like to be an elementary...

  11. Confidence; Okay with failure

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

    People care because one, that test is not cheap. Two, it's time consuming. Three, some people suffer from testing anxiety. And four, some new grads receive jobs contingent upon passing NCLEX on the...

  12. Mishawaka Indiana RN salary

    Purple_roses replied to Sam. W's topic in General Nursing

    I know three nurses who graduated from Bethel College. They all had an ADN-RN and started at $23. If you want more, you can also work nights or weekends. Michigan *usually* pays nurses better, though...

  13. Just got CNA, going for LPN soon, which CNA job for best experience?

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

    First of all, I'm genuinely happy that your background check cleared. You're paving out a rewarding path for yourself. Second of all, I would highly suggest home care as a job, simply because it's...

  14. Apple Watch

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

    This....this made my day.

  15. Apple Watch

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

    Luckily for me today, the only bodily secretion that grazed the skin on my wrist was a booger. I have not been so fortunate on precious shifts. Pretty sure I would end up destroying an Apple Watch...

  16. Shot Records...HELP!

    Purple_roses replied to MaleLPNStudent2's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I also had to have titers drawn because I did not have my shot records. Ask your specific school where to get them drawn at. I was sent to a hospital that provided the test for $36 to students that...

  17. HELP: How Extensive Are Hiring Background Checks?

    Purple_roses replied to khaleesikitten's topic in General Students

    In a perfect world employers would "grow up" and realize it's in the past. As you've said, this doesn't hinder your intelligence or capabilities as a nurse. But the reality is, we live in a world...

  18. Death of a Dream

    Purple_roses replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    I see that you're 26...you're young. Do you think nursing school is something that could happen in a few more years, once your family gains a bit more

  19. Death of a Dream

    Purple_roses replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly, I don't think I know what to say. I'm so sorry I hope things turn around, I really

  20. I hate being a CNA

    Purple_roses replied to *K($$'s topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'll let another poster tackle the whole, "I only want to do technical stuff," because I'm sure that's coming. As for your residents that do not wish to live. Most of them are probably elderly. They...

  21. I hate being a CNA

    Purple_roses replied to *K($$'s topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Ah, ok. Seems like it's a mix of both. I felt this way the first time I worked with a dying person. I hated it, because it felt so odd to know that a patient was dying and to know there was nothing I...

  22. I hate being a CNA

    Purple_roses replied to *K($$'s topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Is the issue that you do not like the kind of general care you must provide as a CNA, or is it that you're uncomfortable working hospice-type

  23. New Grad - Ain't he special!

    Purple_roses replied to hppygr8ful's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I reallllllly hope you majorly crack down on him. You have every right to. How could anyone leave another human lying in their own waste? I mean, if you're a nurse and you have other things to attend...

  24. Does anyone think nursing school gives too many chances?

    Purple_roses replied to JJ1994's topic in General Students

    Sometimes people do poorly, not because they're incompetent, but because they need to get their act together. If they come back with a new and shiny attitude of motivation, I'm ok with

  25. Failed two sciences and I can't get into a nursing program.....is there still any hope?

    Purple_roses replied to mn00's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    LVNs still have to take the same A&P courses though, right? I don't think it would necessarily be an easier option for the
