    Question about labs?

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

    I know some people don't mind histology but I'm not one of them. That was the most non-exciting part of A&P for me, lol. We had a histology quiz like every other week in lab. It was tough. Knowing...

    CrunchyMama posted a topic in General Students

    At my school for the first 7 weeks, we don't have clinicals. We just are in the lab at school learning skills and whatnot. We get checked off every week for each skill(s) and then take a test at the...

    Question about labs?

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

    Yes what the previous poster said. Labs are the best part in A&P...at least I thought so. We did cadavers and it was interesting, I actually miss it, lol. Well we did a cat the 1st night and then...

    OB diagnosis

    CrunchyMama replied to Laurinq's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm fine with inducing for medical reasons. But if a mom is at 40 weeks and all tests show that everything is fine with baby and mom...there's no reason to rush things along. I'm a firm believer in...

    OB diagnosis

    CrunchyMama replied to Laurinq's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thank you for your advice. Dealing with pregnancy and how everything works won't be a problem. I'm just against certain things (such as inducing for no reason), so it's going to be hard for me to...

    CrunchyMama replied to Phlavyah's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

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

    Does your school do this?

    CrunchyMama replied to tigress_8207's topic in General Students

    I looked into becoming a midwife before (have changed my mind since) and if I remember right you have to be an RN for 5 years before becoming a midwife....but I'm not 100% sure. I'm in NY though,...

    Did you ever pass up a nursing opportunity in the past and regret it now?

    CrunchyMama replied to bananabubbletea's topic in General Students

    I took the LPN program in high school and never took the boards. :/ Ticks me off! If I would've took the boards and passed I wouldn't of had to become a CNA. Oh well....I just didn't care back then...
