  1. My patient died today

    Purple_roses replied to TU RN's topic in General Nursing

    Truth is, we don't really know what death entails. Can people hold out until they see their loved one? Maybe. At least he got to see his wife before he passed. I'm so sorry for the passing of your...

  2. Here I Come!

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

    Look at you, getting all A's! Congratulations on making it in to your nursing program! I found out a couple weeks ago that I made it into my school's fall program, and I'm so excited that I'm driving...

  3. Nervous about starting school while living with my parents.

    Purple_roses replied to PrettyNerd's topic in General Students

    You actually have way more support than you realize. The fact that you don't have to work is HUGE. Instead of stressing over getting your studying done after work, you have time, and time is precious....

  4. 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

    I'm curious as to which two classes you failed and what your study methods were. Do you need to establish better study methods that will work better for you? Or do you think nursing may not be the...

  5. Chosen as an alternate for nursing school

    Purple_roses replied to jillian06's topic in General Students

    The dean of nursing at my school told us that out of 40 students selected, she always has at least one back

  6. Is it worth it to apply to a hospital that has poor patient reviews?

    Purple_roses replied to smooshcrickets's topic in General Nursing

    It wouldn't hurt to apply. You don't have to accept a position if something better comes along. One of my clients thought I was incompetent because I didn't know where she kept her washcloths (this...

  7. How did your parents react when you told them you wanted to be a nurse?

    Purple_roses replied to futurern_.'s topic in Men in Nursing

    Oh it's absolutely different, and I think it's so strange that this is still the case in this present day and age. I've heard of men being teased for going into a "woman's profession," but what about...

  8. Would I ever get over the fear of hurting people?

    Purple_roses replied to Potato 007's topic in General Students

    I think that with experience, you will get used to it. I'm not afraid of causing a patient pain necessarily; for instance, I'm not worried about them feeling pain when they get a shot because I know...

  9. It takes a lot to make me angry.

    Purple_roses replied to ground's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Well if you're going to insist on being the bigger person, I'll kindly ask you to point ME in the direction of these "nut sacs." I'll show

  10. How did your parents react when you told them you wanted to be a nurse?

    Purple_roses replied to futurern_.'s topic in Men in Nursing

    I, too, did not realize this.

  11. How did your parents react when you told them you wanted to be a nurse?

    Purple_roses replied to futurern_.'s topic in Men in Nursing

    My parents were very excited for me, not necessarily because of what I was going for specifically, but because I had finally pinpointed exactly what I wanted to do with my

  12. I let a resident fall and feel terrible!

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

    I understand how you feel. This past winter one of my clients slipped on a patch of ice and I wasn't able to break his fall at all. I felt so incredibly terrible and guilty. (He was not hurt,...

  13. Just got accepted ...now im afraid!

    Purple_roses replied to mcm336's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    If you go into the program, nursing will one day be your livelihood, and that's a pretty great thought, right? Congrats on making it in!

  14. Ivy Tech Forum

    Purple_roses replied to ktmt24's topic in Indiana Nursing

    https://allnurses.com/indiana-nursing/ivytech-2015-fall-970340.html Here is one of many threads that has been started for Ivy Tech. EDIT: When I click the link, the wrong thread pops up...not sure if...

  15. Torn

    Purple_roses replied to Kaligirl02's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Make out a detailed budget sheet for yourself and see if you can pay your pills with that pay. Maybe you'll have to cut back on a few things. But if it's your dream job and you can afford it for those...

  16. Is getting my RN at a technical college a bad idea?

    Purple_roses replied to DanielStern's topic in General Students

    I realize you may be hearing things you don't want to hear, but if you're in the business of not wasting time, listen up. Not everyone responding is an experienced RN, but everyone responding is...

  17. Is getting my RN at a technical college a bad idea?

    Purple_roses replied to DanielStern's topic in General Students

    Good to know my college is "lacking," as we all apparently know. Technical colleges are usually more expensive and sometimes their credits do not transfer. You would need to look into what...

  18. Has anyone else had this problem?

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

    Call the school specifically to see if the state would allow you to sit for NCLEX-PN partway through the nursing curriculum. Some states and schools do allow this, though not

  19. What is the worst case of bullying you've seen in your nursing career?

    Purple_roses replied to Guest878640's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Does bullying happen? Yes. But I don't think hearing about the worst possible cases of it will help you transition to nurse; you'll go in expecting bad things to happen to you and you'll think you see...

  20. Stethoscope Help!

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

    Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe you can test the stethoscopes in store. I'm going to to shop around the stores this summer and then order from allheart. EDIT: Also, Littmann is having a...

  21. Don’t believe anything they tell you!!!!

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

    Thank you for this. You seem like a very motivated, diligent person. I'm glad you're a nurse! You represent well. I just found out that I made it into my school's Fall 2015 program, so I was happy to...

  22. nursing school THAT hard?

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

    One of my friends who has been through school already told me that if you can do well in the pre reqs, you can handle nursing school, provided you have good time management skills. She said time...

  23. No such thing as a dumb question

    Purple_roses replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    Unless the question being asked is, "During the oil spills, why didn't we just dump dawn dish soap in the ocean instead of cleaning the animals individually?" People, I am not lying--that was a real...

  24. Tips on how to study for finals

    Purple_roses replied to cosmicnurse's topic in General Students

    I don't think you're going to like my answer, but only giving yourself a week to study was probably a bad move. You really can't cram it all in with one week to go. Did you make flashcards? If so, go...

  25. Is this abuse?

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

    As just about every other poster has said, that is definitely abuse. My opinion would be that you should report it to your instructor and he/she will take it from there. Also, calling them "depends"...
