    Call me crazy, but...ZOMG School!

    CrunchyMama replied to HyperSaurus, RN's topic in General Students

    Yes, you've lost your mind, lol. Only kidding! I'll be starting nursing 3 next month and NO I'm not looking forward to it. Maybe because I haven't really had a break. After spring semester I had 2...

    Anatomy I while taking nursing classes anyone?

    CrunchyMama replied to kk83's topic in General Students

    My school requires taking A&P1 before starting nursing unless you're coming right out of high school...don't see how it matters. I definitely recommend taking it beforehand. I took 1&2 before...

    Which type of watch do you reccomend?

    CrunchyMama replied to perseveRaNce23's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Not sure what a lapel watch is. I got mine at wal-mart for like $20....works just fine. Mine has the stretchy band to it, not the one like a belt....so before you wash you just push it up your arm so...

    most difficult part of nursing school?

    CrunchyMama replied to bmr7's topic in General Students

    For me it was mentally difficult. I'm a natural minded person so seeing all those inductions/c-sections, mutilated memberes and bottles really made me sad at how America views birth. If you're like...

    Number of classes?

    CrunchyMama replied to KimGau's topic in General Students

    Wow....IMO that's way too many classes at once! I know I'd end up a pysch patient after that. Seriously...do NOT overdo yourself like that...I don't care how smart you are. Not being ******, just...

    A & P II or Microbiology this summer??

    CrunchyMama replied to kammel's topic in General Students

    I'm taking micro right now and I know a lot of people complain about it but it's really opening my eyes to these "creatures" that we share this earth with. It's kinda cool! However...A&P 2 is a...

    stuff Ill need?

    CrunchyMama replied to RebeccaV's topic in General Students

    Don't let people scare you. If you're a simple person (like me), you don't need much. Everything I needed was in the bookstore....books, notebooks, dufflebag full of stuff like IV bags, foley,...

    Online classes hard?

    CrunchyMama replied to Otaybw19's topic in General Students

    I think taking the "smaller" classes, such as english and whatever is fine online. But the bigger ones like A&P or micro, I would suggest going to the campus. I'm taking math now online and it's...

    Do you donate blood?

    CrunchyMama replied to pna2388's topic in General Students

    I've donated once in high school and then a couple years ago me and my sisters donated. We planned on going again but it just never works out with work and kids and whatnot. There was a blood drive at...

    How long did it take you to complete your prereqs?

    CrunchyMama replied to tmarie's topic in General Students

    It took me 3 1/2 semesters. I say 1/2 because I took chemistry during the summer. :) It's a long wait but worth it....good

    CrunchyMama replied to OBplease's topic in General Students

    1st semester...7am we started. Went into our pts. room to introduce ourselves. Within an hour, I was giving her meds, hanging her bag of antibiotics....don't remember if I gave an injection the 1st...

    Is it okay to be in the same nursing class as a relative?

    CrunchyMama replied to happy2learn's topic in General Students

    I would love this. When I was first starting prereqs, I tried talking numerous family members (including my husband, lol) to go for nursing, but no. Anyway, at my school it's not an issue. I've known...

    CrunchyMama replied to Waitingtill2010's topic in General Students

    I spent a little over $800 for 1st semester....but that included a supply bag which was $295. Our books are all bundled together so unfortunately I can't look on amazon because I don't know what's in...

    Sad, need to vent

    CrunchyMama replied to pashark's topic in General Students

    How sad! I know it's really hard. I have a 6 and a 3 year old and it breaks my heart when my older one has said numerous times while I'm reading, "Can you play with me?" It's so sad. It'll be over...

    Saunders comprehensive review or Prentice Hall?

    CrunchyMama replied to starmickey03's topic in General Students

    I got the Saunders book about a month or so ago. I really like it and can't wait to start using it after I'm done with this micro and math class. Good

    Any mothers in nursing school with preschool-age children?

    CrunchyMama replied to emptyboxcars's topic in General Students

    My son is in kindergarten and my daughter is almost 3 1/2 years. She won't be going to preschool until next fall. I study when she's napping, or at night when the kids are in bed. There are times when...
