    HOW hard is it?

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

    Be afraid...be very afraid!! LOL! I'm in nursing 3 right now and yes its been a lot of work and extremely time consuming but keep in mind it'll be worth it in the end. Just be prepared to live through...

    Anyone okay with just being a nurse?

    CrunchyMama replied to Kaychell's topic in General Students

    I'm in nursing 3 right now and when I graduate next May, I'll have busted my ass for a total of well over 3 years! So I'll NEVER say I'm "just" a nurse! I feel the same way you do....don't care one...

    Hi Mesha...yes I go to MV! It stinks knowing someone that helped me so much! On a more positive note....how are you doing so far? I'm in nursing 3, if you need any help just let me

    Death of a great professor!

    CrunchyMama replied to CrunchyMama's topic in General Students

    Thanks! Yes, I'll be keeping an eye out for the obituary. I've been checking on my schools website and surprisingly there's no sort of announcement about his death... I'm hoping the school has a...

    Vaccination question

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

    all schools say they're required, they forget to mention there's exemptions for those choosing to not get the vaccine(s). state vaccine requirements – national vaccine information center if you're...

    Priming and spiking?

    CrunchyMama replied to RNashley86's topic in General Students

    I hate that! I remember my very 1st clinical and I had to hang of antibiotics. My instructor told me to go in and prime and spike the bag and she'd be right there. I of course had NO idea what she was...

    Is Pharm really that bad?

    CrunchyMama replied to HCollier's topic in General Students

    I HATE math and I was terrified to take these classes...it's split up at my school into pharm 1 and 2. Anyway, it definitely wasn't close to being as bad as I thought. I had a great teacher who...

    How many patients do you have during clinicals?

    CrunchyMama replied to Kaychell's topic in General Students

    For nursing 1 and 2, we had 1 pt. During 1st semester I wish we had 2....it was boring a lot of the time and I think I definitely had time to have more then 1. I'm in nursing 3 now and we start out...

    Have anxiety issues over making friends

    CrunchyMama replied to krazykchan's topic in General Students

    You're 24, an adult and in college. It's not like high school where you "need" friends to fit in and have a group to hang out with in between classes. I personally could care less if I make...

    It's actually NOT so bad!

    CrunchyMama replied to JBMmom's topic in General Students

    Like you said, you're a week into school. I'd like to read your update 6 months to a year from now, lol. Good

    Admissions and Pregnancy

    CrunchyMama replied to Frozen08's topic in General Students

    I don't think they can legally discriminate against it. It's not their business. Good
  13. CrunchyMama

    Do you actually READ your nursing books or just skim?

    CrunchyMama replied to starmickey03's topic in General Students

    Wow....I don't think your professors are giving you good advice. How do they expect you and the other students to pass the exams and NCLEX by just skimming through your books? YES I read my...

    Have any "romantic" relationships developed in your nursing program?

    CrunchyMama replied to mell260's topic in General Students

    At my school a recent relationship has happened between a student and a

    What do your schedules look like?

    CrunchyMama replied to kk83's topic in General Students

    What helps is getting help! Make a schedule of housework that needs to be done and incorporate your husband in the schedule. I have a great husband who helps out and will help out extra if he knows I...

    Dental Screening for nursing school?

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

    LOL....I don't think you have to worry. When I had my physical, they didn't dig in my mouth to check for cavities. Having cavities doesn't mean you're banned from nursing school! Good

    A&P and Micro at the same time?

    CrunchyMama replied to rcfj2290's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wouldn't take both at the same time. Both are very hard classes and need your undivided attention. So IMO, I wouldn't do it. Good

    No phones at clinical

    CrunchyMama replied to cmonkey's topic in General Students

    I applaud the poster who said do things the old fashioned way! No disrespect to the OP but gosh this shows how sadly dependant people are on useless technology. Remember just 10 years ago, we all (I...

    Lpn or rn? What to do?

    CrunchyMama replied to crodriguez's topic in General Students

    I personally wouldn't waste the time or money. So it depends on if you want to or not. However...at my school, if you're an LPN, you get to test out of doing nursing 1. So that's a plus. Anyway good...

    Prerequisite Textbooks (like micro, anatomy, etc)--Keep them?

    CrunchyMama replied to ashbarn's topic in General Students

    Good luck today

    CrunchyMama replied to Kaychell's topic in General Students

    I had my lecture this morning. Wasn't too bad....seems like we all never left for break. A lot of the students are the same that was in my class last semester. :) I have lab tonight at 7. Anyway, good...

    All electronics banned?

    CrunchyMama replied to betakurt's topic in General Students

    I'm against cellphones, don't have one and never will so I'm all for it! It's very distracting when a cellphone goes off, even when it's on vibrate. I started class today and I'm so glad my prof. has...
