  1. 2015 Rn pay per hour

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

    In my location (Indiana), hospitals start new grads at about $23 per hour, not including shift diffs or

  2. The Official I Hate School Thread

    Purple_roses replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    Netflix: the sneaky little destroyer of grades and willpower. You don't even realize it until you get the pop-up that says "Are you still watching?" I always read it like "Are you STILL watching?...

  3. Is the BSN worth it?

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

    If you have the time and resources, it would be worth it. As others have stated, it's mostly just for marketability. A lot of hospitals are making it a requirement. Some of the hospitals will help you...

  4. The Official I Hate School Thread

    Purple_roses replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    Last semester I literally deleted this app because it was my "I hate school, let's look up AN and make ourselves feel better about it because, after all, it has the word 'nurse' in the title." I'm...

  5. I'm terrified

    Purple_roses replied to MeiDei's topic in General Students

    Wow. Truly helpful

  6. I'm terrified

    Purple_roses replied to MeiDei's topic in General Students

    Every time I feel like this I either read stories about the exciting things that can happen in nursing or I look up stethoscopes. I do not fully understand why, but choosing a stethoscope color...

  7. Always the Instructor's Fault......

    Purple_roses replied to MFaf's topic in General Students

    Did you read the part where Green addressed every other

  8. Are LPN's not treated as well as they should be?: Law student who wants to LPN

    Purple_roses replied to bnursebutJD_ugh's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Good luck with

  9. Are LPN's not treated as well as they should be?: Law student who wants to LPN

    Purple_roses replied to bnursebutJD_ugh's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'm going to be very honest with you: there ARE people who look down on LPNs (and not rightfully so). There are also people who look down on me for doing an ADN-RN program instead of the BSN-RN....

  10. Sadly I won't get to go to school.....

    Purple_roses replied to nasr69's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I'm really sorry to hear that. Organized Chaos, I'm sorry to hear that from you too. Hope things somehow turn around for both of

  11. Always the Instructor's Fault......

    Purple_roses replied to MFaf's topic in General Students

    Oh, don't leave! You should stay and give us a different perspective. P.S.--There are instructors on here who don't let students wallow in

  12. Convicted of murder as a teen and now a nurse

    Purple_roses replied to TheGooch's topic in General Nursing

    I don't really think most of the posters here consider nursing to be a noble profession. As for myself, yes I'm a caring person, but I also think nursing seems interesting...it'll keep me on my toes...

  13. My Friend the nursing student

    Purple_roses replied to gia466's topic in General Students

    Agree with strawberry. I had to take out loans too. Sometimes it's the only option

  14. Convicted of murder as a teen and now a nurse

    Purple_roses replied to TheGooch's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't even consider this judging. Nobody is wishing hell fire on her. This is really more a conversation of the standards of who can be a nurse. I know someone with 2 DUIs and he has to make a...

  15. Not Cut Out to Be a Nurse?

    Purple_roses replied to wanna_be's topic in General Nursing

    If there's anything I've gleaned from this site, it's that there's always lots to learn. A lot of nurses will tell you that you won't truly be an exceptional nurse until a few years after completing...

  16. Convicted of murder as a teen and now a nurse

    Purple_roses replied to TheGooch's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing has high standards. Not everyone gets to be a nurse, and I'm sorry, but if you killed someone in cold blood, you should not be able to hold a job that entails caring for peoples' health. There...

  17. Is a B in Anatomy the end of the world?

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

    That is completely dependent upon the program you're applying to. How does your school determine who gets in? Is it based on GPA? Is science pre-req GPA weighed more heavily? Do you have to take a...

  18. Minimum Wage + LVN Wage

    Purple_roses replied to g2255lw's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Honestly, the idea of working hard to become a nurse only to make a little more than minimum wage is discouraging, if we're being honest. But, being a nurse sounds a hell of a lot more interesting...

  19. Changing Hospitals and Breaking a Contract

    Purple_roses replied to mbluerose's topic in Nursing Career

    That is an absurd amount of money to lose over making $1 an hour more, dream hospital or

  20. What have you learned about Death?

    Purple_roses replied to g2255lw's topic in General Nursing

    THANK YOU! I thought this exact thing when I saw that commercial. A completely inaccurate

  21. What have you learned about Death?

    Purple_roses replied to g2255lw's topic in General Nursing

    Not a nurse, but if you don't mind me answering.... My experiences involving the deaths of my clients have shown me that death is not a bad thing. Biggest realization for

  22. Pre-nursing student, want to become an FNP. Reputable fast track programs??

    Purple_roses replied to DontWantNoScrbs's topic in General Students

    A co-worker of mine completed ADN school, obtained her RN, then skipped the BSN and went straight into an NP program. I like this option because she is working as an RN and gaining valuable experience...

  23. Buying Scrubs

    Purple_roses replied to Colej101's topic in Men in Nursing

    Bought mine on sale at Meijer. $6 for top and $6 for bottom. They just had to be the right color (white top....why oh why would a uniform ever be white?? Hello stains that will never come out). Edit:...

  24. 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

    Same. Right out of high school, I would have struggled with prioritizing. I'm only 22 now, but I swear those years made a difference. OP, in the mean time I would suggest getting a job as a CNA,...

  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

    Let us know what happens and what your advisor suggests. I know you're feeling crushed right now, but you will find something that will work out. You really
