    Moms w/ little ones, who watches the kids?

    CrunchyMama replied to 2bnurseTV's topic in General Students

    Wow...that's a really demanding nursing program! I can't imagine having to go to school that much. I have 2 kids, 6 and 3. Anyway....I'm lucky to have my sisters, grandma and now one of my friends...

    Anyone regret ever having stepped foot in nursing school?

    CrunchyMama replied to summersent's topic in General Students

    Wow....I'm pretty shocked! I guess it depends on the school and I'm assuming most schools aren't like what you've all experienced, at least I hope so. I'm in my 2nd semester in nursing school and have...

    My book bundle from the school bookstore came with the Tabers medical dictionary. I haven't really had to use much of it yet but it's pretty

    Mandatory flu shot?

    CrunchyMama replied to colavadel's topic in General Students

    Every state offers some sort of exemptions. Look for your individual state and what they have. I'd post the link that has each state but I'm on my husbands laptop and don't have the link. I've posted...

    An OB question

    CrunchyMama replied to Guerilla04's topic in General Students

    After my 1st c-section I was allowed a regular diet....but I was mainly thirsty so I mainly drank anyway. After my 2nd c-section (different hospital), I was only allowed clear liquids. I was bad...

    Anatomy and Physiology

    CrunchyMama replied to shortnorthstudent's topic in General Students

    My school does them together. Doing them together makes more sense to me because it's better to know how something functions....rather then learning it later. JMO though. Good luck!

    An OB question

    CrunchyMama replied to Guerilla04's topic in General Students

    Oh ok, I thought you were just asking. I didn't know that's actually in your book. Hmmm...weird. I also start my OB rotation next week and there's a few things I don't like about the book. Anyway, I'm...

    An OB question

    CrunchyMama replied to Guerilla04's topic in General Students

    Do you mean for the mom? Because as far as I know babies, especially newborns shouldn't have water due to risk of fluid overload. Babies shouldn't have anything but

    Required to watch circumcision?

    CrunchyMama replied to CrunchyMama's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Because of the fact that parents (as of right now) have the right to alter their baby boys, I believe it's a human rights violation. Yes, parents should make choices when it comes to saving their kids...

    CrunchyMama replied to CrunchyMama's topic in Ob/Gyn

    exactly my point! the infant can't make the decision. why should the parents be allowed to take the choice from him and dictate what his member looks like? and why should parents be allowed to push...

    Required to watch circumcision?

    CrunchyMama replied to CrunchyMama's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I firmly believe that if anyone would thoroughly look into circumcision AND see how it's done, then they wouldn't choose to do it. Heck I know of moms that did look into it and knew there's no reason...

    Required to watch circumcision?

    CrunchyMama replied to CrunchyMama's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Why not both? LOL It's one thing for a parent not to research what they're doing to their child and another for a Dr. not to give out up to date information and only care about the money.

    CrunchyMama replied to CrunchyMama's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Oh no, I'm sorry...I didn't mean you implied that. That's what was implied by another poster yesterday when I posted about this in another thread. I'm soooo glad you want to work in OB. There needs...

    CrunchyMama replied to CrunchyMama's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I've watched portions of videos. I just can't bring myself to watch the full thing. Makes me so mad and cry! I don't know how this is still legal. Anyway...I feel the same way about elective...

    Required to watch circumcision?

    CrunchyMama replied to CrunchyMama's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I wouldn't be able to stomach it because it's a barbaric procedure and still in 2010 America still thinks it needs to be done. The choice is made by the parent and the Dr. is performing the procedure...

    CrunchyMama replied to CrunchyMama's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I would never be able to watch...I would probably eventually be sued by the Dr. for attacking him, lol. YES, I know I won't agree with everything I encounter but that doesn't mean I have to subject...

    What specialty do you want and not want to work in?

    CrunchyMama replied to guiltysins's topic in General Students

    I'd like to work in ICU or ER....preferably ICU though. Mainly because it's face paced and I don't think I'd be bored. I would never want to work in L&D. I'm against much of Americas view on...
