    CrunchyMama replied to ProudRN2B's topic in General Students

    I asked this kind of question a few months ago and got about the same responses as you're getting, lol. I've decided to go against everyones kind advice and TTC in Sept. and Oct. to have a baby in...

    The "Getting Ready for Clinicals" thread

    CrunchyMama replied to Nepenthe Sea's topic in General Students

    I made a calender for my husband and I to follow regarding chores around the house. We started it the 1st of this month to get used it before school starts and so far it has helped! My husband always...

    a little discouraged

    CrunchyMama replied to Lazosparadeo's topic in General Students

    I'm so sorry for your loss! My mom passed away unexpectedly 9 years ago. I unfortunately found her....so because of that I was mentally messed up for probably a good year. I was a CNA and I didn't...

    Nursing School and Being a Mom?

    CrunchyMama replied to kendra1978's topic in General Students

    It'll probably just make it harder then it already is. Do what you think you can handle. I'm going against the kind advice I got here and elsewhere and hubby and I are still going to try for #3 in...

    CrunchyMama replied to sweetiepeas's topic in General Students

    I got mine the other day when I got my library, oops I mean nursing books, lol! They have them right at the book store...same brand and I got the seafoam green. My kids love it just as much as I do,...

    BIO necessary for success in A&P?

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

    In my school, biology is a prereq for A&P unless you took it in high school. I took it in high school so I didn't have to take it. I graduated from high school in '98 and took A&P1 fall of...

    Question about labs?

    CrunchyMama replied to Hoping2BeStudent2010's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah I was shocked. It's pretty sad that such a big hospital with such history isn't workable anymore. It's unbelievable that a "storm" can cause such damage. Oh and I'm such a history geek,...

    Question about labs?

    CrunchyMama replied to Hoping2BeStudent2010's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    JasmDasm and to anyone else who watches Code Blue....I looked up Charity Hospital just to read a little history on the hospital because I know it's old and I like history...anyway, this hospital had a...

    What makes Nursing school hard?

    CrunchyMama replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in General Students

    I start nursing next month and I've always heard that nursing is harder then A&P so if I think A&P was seriously hard....then for me nursing is going to be crazy! Like someone else said, it's...

    Can I get into Nursing school with a 3.47 overall GPA?

    taking chem and mircorbio together = good/bad idea?

    CrunchyMama replied to aaeluv's topic in General Students

    At my school you have to take chemistry before you even take A&P (assuming you never took it in high school). But chemistry at my school isn't a part of the program, only a pre-req for taking...

    I am taking A and P 2 and Microbiology!!!

    CrunchyMama replied to jillac26's topic in General Students

    My school doesn't allow you to take micro unless you're done with A&P. So I haven't taken micro yet and I'm scared of it. Having gone through A&P 2, I wouldn't want to take another hard class...

    Do people tell you all about their medical problems because you're going to be an RN?

    CrunchyMama replied to worf's topic in General Students

    This has been happening to me ever since I took the LPN program like 12 years ago, lol. I don't mind it though. I'd probably kinda be weirded out though if my dad started talking about some anal...

    Pros and Cons of taking A&P 1&2, or Anatomy and Physiology separately?

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

    IMO (please no bashing) but I think taking it seperately is kinda pointless. My school only offers it together and I honestly didn't know taking it seperately was an option until coming here. It makes...

    CrunchyMama replied to Hoping2BeStudent2010's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    How funny.....me and my sister are always talking about how they should improve the DVR system by being able to send recorded shows to each other, lol. Sometimes one of us will see something and want...

    Taking A&P I Fall 2009?

    CrunchyMama replied to Hoping2BeStudent2010's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It is hard but study your butt off and you'll do fine, lol. Seriously....A&P take a lot of time, it felt like I was constantly in that book. Good luck!!!! I'm sure you'll do

    Buying Textbooks online?

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

    My school finally just put the book list up and it looked like I'll be spending about $500+ for books this coming semester. I looked on amazon and I could save about $10-$20/book. But they don't take...

    Question about labs?

    CrunchyMama replied to Hoping2BeStudent2010's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Question about labs?

    CrunchyMama replied to Hoping2BeStudent2010's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's exactly how I pictured the cadaver. But in my lab it wasn't like that and I'm assuming all schools are the same regarding this but not sure. It's a really once in a lifetime experience and if...
