    what is a good age to be done with school?

    CrunchyMama replied to believeallispossible's topic in General Students

    Sorry but I have to laugh, lol. I think it's so funny that you have it planned out perfectly. I hope it happens for you like that. But some people (myself included) have fertility problems and...

    what is a good age to be done with school?

    CrunchyMama replied to believeallispossible's topic in General Students

    IMO staying home with my kids was more important then "not struggling". I personally don't believe in the new ethics of America by popping out your kids, staying home for 6 weeks then plopping them in...

    Can diabetic educators be fat?

    CrunchyMama replied to Heinz beans's topic in General Students

    I think it's BS! Just like some people I've heard say that nurses and every other healthcare worker should be thin. Well what I say is MAYBE they can't help it. We should know that some people can't...

    How much math?

    CrunchyMama replied to Michelle4444's topic in General Students

    At my school, when you take the placement test you'll either be required to take a basic math class or not. There's another math class that's part of the program and I'll take it this summer because...

    CrunchyMama replied to AD1ZONC's topic in General Students

    I'm in my 2nd semester of nursing school, so I've taken the A&Ps already. I'll be taking mirco this summer so I can't speak on that but I must say now that I'm in nursing, I actually miss A&P,...

    viewed cheating,what to do,if anythig?

    CrunchyMama replied to nursegc's topic in General Students

    This is certainly frowned upon at my school and I'm sure every school. At my school, you get kicked out. Here's how I feel....I 100% agree with the school policy. I've busted my a$$ to get "As" and I...

    what is a typical nursing school schedule like?

    CrunchyMama replied to mishy0208's topic in General Students

    As many nurses as there are and nursing students, apparently it is doable, lol. Not saying it's easy....it's definitely a tough program and having kids makes it an extra challenge (I have 2 myself)....

    what is a typical nursing school schedule like?

    CrunchyMama replied to mishy0208's topic in General Students

    It really depends. Some schools are a little more laid back (like mine apparently) and others like the poster above that's just crazy, lol. First semester was lecture 1 day/week for 2 hours and...

    which states are have the most job openings for new graduates??

    CrunchyMama replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in General Students

    Come upstate. My cousin in-law got hired 2 months after passing her boards. Also I see ads all the time for hospitals hiring new grads. So it just depends on where you are. Good luck!!

    Finished my first week, took my first exam, got an 80, how bad is that??

    CrunchyMama replied to avidhunter3's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm halfway through my 2nd semester of an RN program and yes I do remember all my tests, lol. They're hard to forget! Our 1st one covered 15 chapters, yes 15! I got a 90. An 80 isn't bad of...

    why compulsory breast feeding

    CrunchyMama replied to Naso's topic in General Students

    I'm sorry but like everyone else said, it's hard to understand your post. I'm passionate about breastfeeding and giving advice and support and I'd love to be able to understand what you're trying to...

    What do you hate the most about nursing school?

    CrunchyMama replied to Jewl's topic in General Students

    I take more of a natural approach to life, so some of the things that are being taught (or not taught) is a bit annoying. But I'm now halfway through my 2nd semester and I'm learning to bite my tongue...

    Please help need advice :-(

    CrunchyMama replied to ipray2him's topic in General Students

    That's not fair. At my school, if you have to take a year off you can test back into the program and start where you left off. Anyway I don't really have any advice. I don't think I would start all...

    CrunchyMama replied to blessed2bfree's topic in General Students

    That sucks! I always thought it would be cool to have a family member in the program too. I tried talking my sister into it but it's not her thing, lol. I agree with the above person....don't go to...

    Which semester did you think was the hardest?

    CrunchyMama replied to wahwahgerman's topic in General Students

    I'm in the 2nd half of my 2nd semester (psych) and so far maternity has been the hardest. Of course I don't have much to compare and gradewise it wasn't that bad (I got an A) but I just hated it! From...

    CrunchyMama replied to jkmk's topic in General Students
