    Help!! Not IMMUNE HEP B SURFACE RESULT!!!

    CrunchyMama replied to NurseMR's topic in General Nursing

    Considering every state offers exemptions for those wishing to opt out of certain vaccines, I'm sure there won't be a problem for you, especially if they know you plan on getting the vaccines

    CrunchyMama replied to Anniehow's topic in General Students

    I don't know what you've been looking at but I got one recently and I really like it. It's a big blue book by Saunders. Got it off

    What to expect on OB/psych/peds rotations?

    CrunchyMama replied to brokenroads27's topic in General Students

    I'll c&p my response from a similar thread regarding maternity....We only had an OB rotation and I hated every minute of it. Ok, mostly every minute....yeah the babies are cute and it was great...

    Homework? How much in 1st year?

    CrunchyMama replied to JWnurse2b's topic in General Students

    I've finished my 1st year and we never had any homework. Just studying our butts off. The only thing we did have to do 1st semester was go to our clinical site a couple days before to get our...

    Any tips for Pediatrics/OB rotation?

    CrunchyMama replied to sch983's topic in General Students

    We only had an OB rotation and I hated every minute of it. Ok, mostly every minute....yeah the babies are cute and it was great teaching a 17 year old how to breastfeed. But overall, didn't like it...

    Microbiology, Summer 2010

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

    My school gives the option of either statistics (which is needed if you plan on going for your BSN) or concepts. So since I've decided to not go further then RN, I'm taking concepts. Good luck to

    Microbiology, Summer 2010

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

    Yes.....I started micro (and math) last week. It's interesting but somewhat boring, I can't wait until it's over.

    Could I like OB even if I'm an "all natural" kind of girl?

    CrunchyMama replied to lalalalexi's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm too against so many things going on in L&D and postpartum that I know I wouldn't be able to take such a position. But if you think you can without banging your head against a wall after every...

    Nudity?

    CrunchyMama replied to tlp514's topic in General Students

    Whoever told you this probably never went to nursing

    FINALLY

    CrunchyMama replied to WeirdNurseKelly's topic in General Students

    I have 1 more year left and I plan on taking it as soon as possible after. Instead of stress about it, I'd rather just get it done! Congrats and good

    does this sound right?

    CrunchyMama replied to headliner1889's topic in General Students

    Wow...$5,000 for the whole program? That's awesome! Mine will end up being about $13,000 and I got to a community college. Good

    does this sound right?

    CrunchyMama replied to headliner1889's topic in General Students

    That definitely doesn't sound right....and if it is, I'd find another school! Good

    how many uniforms to buy?

    CrunchyMama replied to sajohnston1978's topic in General Students

    At my school, clinical is only once/week so I don't see a need to have more then 1

    4.0!!!!

    CrunchyMama posted a topic in General Students

    I just finished my 2nd semester a couple weeks ago. The final grades were just posted and I got "As" in maternity, psych and pharm 2! So I got a 4.0 this semester! I'm so happy and surprised that I've...

    4.0!!!!

    CrunchyMama replied to CrunchyMama's topic in General Students

    What I've always done even when taking A&P is read the chapter twice. Once when the readings are due and again when I start studying a week before the test. I also do the practice tests at the end...

    CrunchyMama replied to CrunchyMama's topic in General Students

    Thanks! Yes I feel this 4.0 is short lived. I'll be starting micro and math next week, lol. Good luck to you

    can infants drink water?

    CrunchyMama replied to ACNP 2B S1S2RRR's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I agree mostly with everyone else. Breastmilk (and formula) contains all the hydration a baby needs. My 2nd child didn't figure out how to use a sippy until she was 11 months old, lol....so until that...

    When do/did you start clinicals?

    CrunchyMama replied to cmonkey's topic in General Students

    What do you think about students asking for a higher grade?

    CrunchyMama replied to ohcomeon's topic in General Students

    I think the student and teacher are both totally wrong! Wow...that's crazy that a teacher would even do

    4.0!!!!

    CrunchyMama replied to CrunchyMama's topic in General Students

    Thanks all! I really don't know how I do it. I study my butt off and nursing tests are so hard. I always think I do horrible then I'm shocked when we get our tests back, lol. Good luck to you

    CrunchyMama replied to kalhonaaho's topic in General Students

    Nursing school is very hard and unlike any other class I've taken before starting. As far as study groups go, it's really up to you. For me, I'd rather be alone in quiet but if you think you'd do...

    evening clinicals

    CrunchyMama replied to Mtru11's topic in General Students

    First semester I did morning clinicals (7am, yuck). I just finished 2nd semester and did the evenings (3-11pm). Didn't want to be there that late but first half was maternity and I didn't want to be...

    LPN or ADN?? What should I do???

    CrunchyMama replied to yisy4u's topic in General Students

    If nursing is what you want then I would skip the LPN and go straight for RN...since you want to eventually go for your BSN anyway. Around here, LPNs are mainly limited to nursing homes and home care....
