    Combining RN and LPN Pinning Ceremonies -- why not?

    CrunchyMama replied to DolceVita's topic in General Students

    I think they should be separate. It's like med students graduating with nursing students, doesn't happen. Yes, the jobs of RNs and LPNs are similar but there's many more differences. I've gone through...

    First nursing exam grade ....... ughh

    CrunchyMama replied to SammyRN2012's topic in General Students

    It's a B, why be upset? You're well above passing! I'm a high B/low A student and I'm very happy with that. However....the test I took today was the hardest test I've taken in nursing school so far...

    CrunchyMama replied to Livy022's topic in General Students

    My advice....go back in time and take micro and A&P seperate and NOT with nursing classes. LOL I'm sorry....I had to say it. Schools are ridiculous for allowing all to be taken together. It's way...

    End stage COPD clinical patient

    CrunchyMama replied to semester1kid's topic in General Students

    If/when I get to 88 years old, I will do what the hell I want regarding my health, lol. At that point you only have MAYBE a few more years left....quitting smoking at that age most likely won't have...

    Rounding up on IV med cal questions

    CrunchyMama replied to semester1kid's topic in General Students

    Yes, you should've rounded it to 30ml/hr. At least that's how it's done at my school. Just like the gtts, it's hard to give 29 and 3/4 of a

    Conversation starter...what are your nursing career goals?

    CrunchyMama replied to EatLoveNurse's topic in General Students

    I'm going for my 2 year degree...I'll graduate in May. I don't have any desire to go further, mainly because of my kids (and the rest of my family)....I've already taken enough time away from them....

    What a blow to my ego

    CrunchyMama replied to letitbe_lindsay's topic in General Students

    It has nothing to do with if you're a student or not (regarding you not feeling you have enough weight to throw around)....YOU are a human being and NO person deserves to be talked to like that. I...

    difficult fellow students

    CrunchyMama replied to kylifesaver1's topic in General Students

    I know exactly what you're talking about! I'm on my 2nd semester of having to endure this one student. She has such a nasty attitude about everything, calls people names (she's "joking", but still),...

    Disappointing First Clinical Experience

    CrunchyMama replied to nikkole318's topic in General Students

    I'm in nursing 3 now but my 1st day of clinical, I hung an IV bag of antibiotics, gave a lovenox shot and passed some pills..among the usual stuff like assessment and whatnot. So it sounds to me like...

    Confusing homework question- what's your input?

    CrunchyMama replied to heatherhammy's topic in General Students

    I would've picked B...thank goodness, lol. I only would've picked this because it's usually what doctors/nurses ask. I don't think I've ever been asked if I've had sex in the last year, lol. LMP IS...

    Mom thinking about going back to nursing school... NEEDS ENCOURAGEMENT!!!

    CrunchyMama replied to JenInSchool's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it'll be a little easier because your kids are now in school. My kids are 6 1/2 and 3 1/2 and I started 2 years ago...its been tough! If it's what you want then go for it! Good

    How do you stay sexy in nursing school

    CrunchyMama replied to 2bnurseforce1's topic in General Students

    Never wear makeup or have my nails done....NEWS FLASH: you can still be a woman without copying what you see on TV or in magazines.

    arrrgh! OB is killing me.....

    CrunchyMama replied to OhioCCRN's topic in General Students

    If I was sitting here 7+ years ago, I would be saying the total opposite. At one point the only thing I wanted to do was work in maternity. But my mentality about things changed and I know because of...

    arrrgh! OB is killing me.....

    CrunchyMama replied to OhioCCRN's topic in General Students

    So glad I'm not the only one that hated OB for basically the same reasons. I've always read Americas sad statistics regarding inductions/c-sections but to actually see all this in person was really...

    should I do my internship in ICU or L&D

    CrunchyMama replied to Ceeceenumber3's topic in General Students

    I hated OB with a passion, so for me I would never work in that department. But if it's what you want to do then go for it. Around here though, most places require at least one year experience in...

    Careplan help: effective breastfeeding

    CrunchyMama replied to Jen_RN11's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Goals for a breastfeeding mom/baby..... 1. Baby will be feeding on demand. 2. Baby will not take a pacifier (or any artificial nipple) as this can interfere with breastfeeding. You got good input...

    Clinical Rotation and interesting stories

    CrunchyMama replied to healthstar's topic in General Students

    I hated OB! Good luck! I'm in nursing 3, so doing medsurg right now. I'm loving it so far! So much more of a variety of patients. I've only had 2 clinical days so far, so nothing too

    I use the site mysalary.com but I've heard it's not 100% reliable so I don't know. Good

    Clients? Are they no longer patients?

    CrunchyMama replied to bassadict69's topic in General Students

    OMG I'm so glad I'm not the only one. I'm in nursing 3 and I like our medsurg book because they call folks in the hospital PATIENTS! It's ridiculous....if I'm ever admitted to the hospital, I hope I'm...
