    Mandatory Flu vaccine

    CrunchyMama replied to mspazrn's topic in New York Nursing

    Since it's the law....can they really deny me to do clinicals or for an employee to work there? Doesn't sound right and I don't think they can do that. Just like the schools can't deny my child from...

    Mandatory Flu vaccine

    CrunchyMama replied to mspazrn's topic in New York Nursing

    Every state has some sort of waiver for the refusal for vaccines....either religious, medical or philosophical. I'm assuming since it's like this for children to get into school then employers have to...

    CrunchyMama replied to mspazrn's topic in New York Nursing

    Last week in class, we were informed by my instructor that all hospital employees are now required to get the flu shot (including us students). I plan on fighting it.

    As a nursing student, will I be prodded to become Prochoice?

    CrunchyMama replied to avidhunter3's topic in General Students

    This is my 1st semester in the nursing program so I don't know how things are run but I don't see how this will ever be an issue. Nursing doesn't consist of any debate classes or anything like that so...

    Flu shots for students

    CrunchyMama replied to llg's topic in General Students

    This is what I'm going to find out when the time comes. They also say it's a requirement for kids to go to school, but it's not so. I know my college is ok as far as waivers go and I'm assuming it's...

    Flu shots for students

    CrunchyMama replied to llg's topic in General Students

    We were told yesterday in class that they're now making all hospital employees (including students) get the flu shot. I'm ticked! Before the time comes I'll be finding out from the instructor if...

    ???which nursing schools require students to take TEAS exam???

    CrunchyMama replied to mack7580's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Having gone through A&P....I would not want to mix it with another hard course like micro. But good luck....I'm sure it can be done though, just would make it

    CrunchyMama replied to anewday's topic in General Students

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

    Yeah...depends on the school. At my school, the 1st night we did a cat. We had 4 cadavers and we also did other animal parts along the way like a sheep brain, cow eye, etc. For the lab quizzes...we...

    What is the hardest clinical you've had?

    CrunchyMama replied to MWest2011's topic in General Students

    Even before starting nursing I know I'm going to hate the maternity rotation...it's going to be the longest most frustrating 8 weeks of my life. I'm not looking forward to

    How do you wear your hair for clinicals?

    CrunchyMama replied to Kamdyn's topic in General Students

    A ponytail is sloppy?? Anyway....I just cut my hair about a month ago above my shoulders....not because of clinicals but because I needed a drastic change. So I'm glad I won't really have to worry...

    Is 3rd Semester of ADN Nursing Program that Bad?

    CrunchyMama replied to Rylee2008's topic in General Students

    Yes, I have heard that nursing 3 is really hard. That's why I'm thinking of taking micro next summer instead of taking it with nursing 3. No one semester is scarying me more then the other, I'm scared...

    Should I take Chemistry BEFORE I take A & P I ???

    CrunchyMama replied to Elizabeth K.'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At my school it's a prereq before you can take A&P1. I had to take it because I never took chemistry in high school. However....I went back to school 7 years ago and took chemistry then....but...
