    Now tetanus booster...

    CrunchyMama replied to CrunchyMama's topic in General Students

    You should've stopped typing after the 1st sentence. So you're saying I shouldn't attend any school? Because from what I've seen every school "requires" something. I don't think it's right to say "gee...

    Now tetanus booster...

    CrunchyMama replied to CrunchyMama's topic in General Students

    And you're more worried about the minute chance of catching the disease. We all see things a different way. And no, I don't think formeldyhyde and mercury primes anything in our body....only damages...

    CrunchyMama replied to CrunchyMama's topic in General Students

    Yes I understand all that you're saying. The chances of getting tetorifice, just like any other disease is pretty slim. Yes, I worry about the neurotoxins but I more worry about the toxins in the...

    Studying pharm before nursing school?

    CrunchyMama replied to bewitched's topic in General Students

    I suck at math so pharm really scared me! But after taking both pharm 1&2, I worried for almost nothing. However last summer before I started the nursing program I bought the book "Dosage...

    How many uniforms should I buy?

    CrunchyMama replied to Rnstudent2011's topic in General Students

    I only have clinical once/week so I only bought 1 set. Even if I had more clinical days I probably would still only have bought 1 set...they're

    CrunchyMama replied to puravidaLV's topic in General Students

    I know it's horrible! I don't mind buying the nursing ones because they're a big help but I just finished math and the access code was $60 while my math book was

    CrunchyMama replied to PaperPencil's topic in General Students

    Do you have children?

    CrunchyMama replied to Wan2BRN's topic in General Students

    I have 2 kids...ages 6 1/2 and 3 1/2. What has helped me is making a schedule for housework that my husband can help with....that way he knows what needs to be done. He also takes them if he knows I...

    How often to do you think about quiting?

    CrunchyMama replied to anonymousstudent's topic in General Students

    I'll be starting nursing 3 next month, so I'm halfway through. Now that I've gotten over the 1st hump, I'm definitely not quitting. But I thought of it quite often during the first 2 semesters. So...

    Drug calculations in your head or calculator?

    CrunchyMama replied to gumby1411's topic in General Students

    Calculators don't make mistakes. Someone doing it in their head can. If you do BOTH then that's another story....I think that's acceptable but I wouldn't feel comfortable taking that

    Drug calculations in your head or calculator?

    CrunchyMama replied to gumby1411's topic in General Students

    Wow...how can you have a quiz the 1st day? That's crazy! Anyway, we're required to buy this $12 calculator from the bookstore and we're only allowed to use that. I would never feel confident doing it...

    Can I Still Specialize If I Get A Degree From Community College?

    CrunchyMama replied to KristinMC's topic in General Students

    CrunchyMama replied to guiltysins's topic in General Students

    Tired of the CNA Lecture *Mini-rant*

    CrunchyMama replied to guiltysins's topic in General Students

    I personally don't think being a CNA should be a requirement and frankly I think it's a waste of time (and money) when someone plans on starting nursing school after becoming a CNA. However, when I...
