    Gloves or not for IV meds?

    CrunchyMama replied to Shibby3's topic in General Students

    I wear gloves doing anything! We're taught to do so, so therefore I do. I can never imagine not wearing clothes....it has become such a habit. I feel safer wearing

    Who pays for your pin?

    CrunchyMama replied to pockunit's topic in General Students

    We had to buy our own pins. We all thought it was BS because even though the pins were only $5...the school couldn't afford to buy everyones as a gift? We already spend enough on tuition, books, time...

    CrunchyMama replied to horseygirl2rn's topic in General Students

    My husband lost his job way back when and we filed for bankrupcy and 3 years later I started going to school. Like the above poster said, I don't think they look at your credit. Good

    Should I get Varicella titer, MMR titer, Flu shot, Tdap shot in one day??

    CrunchyMama replied to karenonp's topic in General Students

    Sure, the school can do whatever they want. But since there are laws protecting those who refuse, the student can turn around and sue the school. Same goes for the clinical site. Laws are there for a...

    Should I get Varicella titer, MMR titer, Flu shot, Tdap shot in one day??

    CrunchyMama replied to karenonp's topic in General Students

    CrunchyMama replied to karenonp's topic in General Students

    I hate the word required....they're not. You always have a choice. Ok, just wanted to clear that up, lol. Oh...titers...that's just a blood test to check your immunity. I don't give my kids all the...

    CrunchyMama replied to AmberLB's topic in General Students

    Actually it's not an opinion....20,000 nerve endings are lost during a circ, along with many other functions of a normal member. And great...your friends think they're fine. But in reality, they've...

    CrunchyMama replied to AmberLB's topic in General Students

    Infant Circumcision in Nursing school

    CrunchyMama replied to AmberLB's topic in General Students

    And why is it right for a parent to force their sexual preference on their son? It shouldn't be about preference since parents don't have sex with their son....and the only reason why American parents...

    CrunchyMama replied to DreamyEyes's topic in General Students

    Not crazy at all! I also worked in a nursing home as a CNA before becoming a mom and I always said once I became a nurse I would never work in a nursing home, lol. But now that I'm in my last...

    CrunchyMama replied to PaperPencil's topic in General Students

    What will happen to LPN's if the BSN in 10 bill passes?

    CrunchyMama replied to Italia23's topic in General Students

    I'm also in NY and it depends on where you are I guess. LPNs have been phased out in my area being limited to nursing homes. I HOPE they don't ever require BSNs from all RNs. I don't think that's...
