    I forgot to date and time an iv bag

    CrunchyMama replied to Georgiana123's topic in General Students

    During clinicals I've only seen meds being dated/timed....with NS or whatever, I've NEVER seen it labeled. I know we're suppose to label it since we're in school, but if a nurse finds it I'm sure your...

    NOT going to the pinning ceremony

    CrunchyMama replied to CaliforniaRNnow's topic in General Students

    But graduation is with ALL students attending the college, not just nursing students. The pinning ceremony is much more personal and only with students you know. I guess I see why some of you feel you...

    CrunchyMama replied to CB44's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My sister is due on March 2nd! But she's having a girl. Anyway...she recently gave her midwife her birth plan. What you have to remember is it's YOUR birth, which has been forgotten in our society....

    I almost got kicked out of my program from ONE mistake!

    CrunchyMama replied to Spikey9001's topic in General Students

    I highly doubt you have ADD/ADHD, lol....pretty stupid for them to even make such an assessment, that would make me pretty offended! We're humans, we make mistakes! What's important is that you learn...

    Study Guides & GPA's-Do you get any Guides in Nursing Program?

    CrunchyMama replied to proudmommy's topic in General Students

    We get study guides. But sometimes there's things on the test that aren't on the study guides, so you still have to make sure you read and do the practice tests online and whatnot. But I think it's...

    What do you do in a newborn nursery?

    CrunchyMama replied to mell260's topic in General Students

    I'm more of a natural person and get annoyed with how America views birth. So for me being in close contact with all those bottles, horrible breastfeeding advice, mutilated memberes, vaccines,...

    Life as a minority in nursing

    CrunchyMama replied to cookie91's topic in General Students

    I wish we live in a time that didn't refer to a specific race of humans as minorities! I'm WHITE and I hate that my fellow humans (black, brown, purple) are called anything but human. It's unfortunate...

    3 initial questions before Vaginal Exam? Why?

    CrunchyMama replied to Miley22's topic in General Students

    If it's a non complicated labor, the first question I would ask is if she even wants a lady partsl exam. It's her birth and labor, even though a lot of moms don't realize this. Anyway, your others...

    Countdown to Pinning

    CrunchyMama replied to Turd Ferguson's topic in General Students

    It's kind of like a graduation for only nursing students. You're presented with a nursing pin. I thought all nursing schools do this but apparently not, lol. Oh and my school doesn't even supply the...

    CrunchyMama replied to mmgirlsmom's topic in General Students

    I understand! A couple months ago I applied for a care attendant position (like a CNA) at a hospital, just to get my foot in the door considering I haven't worked in over 7 years. I got a call the...

    I filled out an online application at a hospital in Columbia and I tried calling HR at Roper and left a message for a nurse recruiter. Hopefully I'll hear something. Thanks for your help.

    CrunchyMama replied to CrunchyMama's topic in General Nursing

    Congrats on finding and getting the job you want! That's awesome! A month and a half isn't too bad considering I've heard it can take a lot longer then that. Ultimately I'd like to be in ICU/CCU but I...
