  2. LPN application essay. Please critique!

    Purple_roses replied to 30yearsmaking's topic in General Students

    First paragraph, third sentence: change "Regrettable" to "Regrettably." Second paragraph, first sentence: spell out "two." Third paragraph, first sentence: "process" should be "possess." I think this...

  3. When did this trend start??

    Purple_roses replied to mmc51264's topic in General Nursing

    I like the simple ones, such as just writing RN or BSN. I view it as a fun and more subtle way to celebrate. They're just excited. I can only imagine how ridiculous the flowers looked though! It...

  5. Unsupportive spouse?

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

    I talked about nursing for years and my ex always talked me out of it, saying he couldn't see nursing as my true passion and that I should follow a more artistic path. A year after we broke up, I...

  6. Unsupportive spouse?

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

    It seems like he didn't really understand how demanding nursing school would be. One thing is for certain though: you need him to be supportive in this. School is hard, kids are hard, marriage is...

  9. Low cumulative GPA but 4.0 in prereqs--can I get into an ABSN program?

    Purple_roses replied to This Is Water's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There is absolutely hope for getting into a program, especially with a 4.0 in your pre reqs. My school weighs pre req GPA more heavily than other courses and requires a 3.0 overall GPA to apply to the...

  10. stuck.

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

    Excellent advise and congratulations on graduating! OP, I would follow this route versus signing up at a for-profit school. It will take longer, but your wallet will thank you. Also, some for-profits...

  11. nursing program interview tips

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

  12. Microbiology is killing me

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

    Unfortunately, life is not "fairly simple." It's complicated and everyone has limits. As another poster said, speak to your professors about your likely grade outcomes. Talk to a nursing advisor about...

  14. Working and going to nursing school?

    Purple_roses replied to JESSICAAA159's topic in General Students

    I'll tell you this: you will need more than $560 a month. When I moved out of my parents' house, I had this detailed budget made out, but I didn't plan for "life." What is life? It's your car breaking...

  15. Picked on at Work

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

    I'm just a CNA, but I felt this way at a particular nursing home. Nobody would talk to me and one nurse would even move directly in front of me while I was talking to another nurse; she would just...

  16. Nurses have an Attitude Problem

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

  17. Male student enters OB room. What do you think?

    Purple_roses replied to truckinusa's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Passing trays is important. Each patient has different dietary needs and messing that up can cause huge problems. Think patient who needs nectar thickened liquids receiving a plain glass of ice water,...

  18. If you decided to be a RN, think again..

    Purple_roses replied to kate_ibl's topic in General Students

    For me, the biggest shocker was just how many pre reqs I had to take: in total, a year's worth, even as a full time student. I graduated high school five years ago, and so many of my science courses...

  19. Failed a&p twice...

    Purple_roses replied to xO1000wordsxO's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I honestly cannot answer your first two questions. At my college, we are only allowed to repeat a pre req twice, but other colleges may differ. See if you can find one that will allow you to retake...

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

    I had a hard time paying off a medical bill this year and the facility that I owed money too was happy to create a monthly payment plan for me. I ended up paying $70 a month until it was paid off. As...

  21. In need of advice

    Purple_roses replied to Brittany24's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well I can tell you this: one day when you earn that first nursing paycheck, you'll be so glad you don't have to throw half of it away to pay off student loans and the unfriendly interest it accrues....

  22. I received this email from a professor. I was a little shocked. Opinon?

    Purple_roses replied to kdflet's topic in General Students

    It is not unheard of to be hired by a facility after doing clinical rotations there. Do you think the facility hires the nurse who showed up out of uniform every day? No. The professionalism of a...

  24. EVANGELISM IN WARD

    Purple_roses replied to Oyinz24's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Well I can only speak for myself here, but although I'm not religious, I don't hold those negative views of Christianity. The majority of my family is Christian and they don't behave in a hateful way...
