    A&P1 and micro?

    CrunchyMama replied to TaraRae123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I haven't taken micro yet but I've heard horrible things. So having gone through A&P....I wouldn't take any other hard classes with it. A&P takes up a lot of time and to add micro...no way!...

    Get CNA while waiting for Nursing School?

    CrunchyMama replied to 1940apron's topic in General Students

    I think being a CNA is helpful but not necessary. IMO though I wouldn't spend the money to become certified though...or waste the time. Good

    Health Problems for new born babies

    CrunchyMama replied to thatsforreal's topic in General Students

    I agree with the 1st poster. A lot of times c-section babies are born too early due to scheduling for the convenience of the Dr. Also...early or not a c-section makes it harder to breastfeed due to...

    CrunchyMama replied to mbrnstudent's topic in General Students

    Do you recommend anatomy and physiology to be taken alone?

    CrunchyMama replied to copyandpaste's topic in General Students

    My school requires taking A&P1 before starting nursing. Having gone through 1 and 2 I think they should require both to be taken before starting nursing. I'm in nursing 1 right now and there's no...
