    Maternal / Neonatal Clinical

    CrunchyMama replied to madfowl's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I HATED my maternity clinical with a passion! Counted the days until it was over. Most students like this rotation though, so I'm sure you'll have fun. Good

    School/RN exam in SC then work in NY?

    CrunchyMama replied to Eggiejoy8's topic in General Nursing

    I've heard the once you take the exam, you never have to take it again if you go to another state. I'll graduate in May and we're also considering moving to SC. Good luck to

    How's the job market?

    CrunchyMama replied to CrunchyMama's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for your reply. Your post made me feel better, lol. I've been reading the thread on here regarding SC jobs and wow, so many new grads are having a hard time! It was making me nervous because...

    Columbia SC Hospitals??

    CrunchyMama replied to TangoLima's topic in General Nursing

    This is a bit depressing considering where I live now (NY) grads start out at $5-$10 more then that! Do I really want to move to

    Ever had confusion on if Nursing if right for you?

    CrunchyMama replied to LC1984's topic in General Students

    I'll be starting my 4th and last semester next week and I still have doubts! I don't think that feeling ever goes away....I hope it does. I've been doing fairly well (As & Bs) but I just don't...

    This is why you should be careful what you post on facebook

    CrunchyMama replied to semester1kid's topic in General Students

    I respect your opinion and I understand how you feel. I just don't think it's a big deal. Taking a picture with a drooling comatose patient is one thing but taking a picture of a placenta, to me is...

    CrunchyMama replied to semester1kid's topic in General Students

    I think it's kind of funny. Not that they got suspended but because the kind of picture they took, lol. But of course I have an odd sense of humor. This is why if you have a facebook account, make...

    Ethics paper???

    CrunchyMama replied to CrazziiRN913's topic in General Students

    I did mine on circumcision (I'm against it). Some topics that my fellow students in my clinical group did was stem cell, abortion, forced sterilization on drug addicts....I can't remember what else....

    Maternal/Newborn Teaching Topic Ideas

    CrunchyMama replied to Miley22's topic in General Students

    Breastfeeding, NOT circumcising, normal newborn care such as bathing/diapering, how to incorporate a sibling into caring for a newborn. Good

    May 2011 graduates..nervous for last semester?

    CrunchyMama replied to gaspasser2b's topic in General Students

    I'm not that nervous about next semester....it's AFTER the semester that makes me sweat! Week long NCLEX review class and taking the boards! I can **** myself if I think about it too much... In April...

    Smokers in Nursing School--How Are You Treated?

    CrunchyMama replied to SarahMaria's topic in General Students

    Maybe it's because nursing students know the dangers of smoking and there's not too many smokers here? I find it interesting when a healthcare professional/student STILL smokes after learning the...

    Does RN school get easier or harder as the semesters go on?

    CrunchyMama replied to rnintwo's topic in General Students

    I ended with an "A" in both nursing 1 & 2 and just ended nursing 3 with a "B". It's definitely harder but like others have said...you get more used to the testing style. Good

    Any plans for winter break?

    CrunchyMama replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Students

    What Exactly Is Nursing Fundamentals

    CrunchyMama replied to blueyesue's topic in General Students

    All nursing classes are intense and I would never recommend taking A&P with nursing. I've seen/read (which includes myself as well) that students do so much better in school if they're only taking...

    What Exactly Is Nursing Fundamentals

    CrunchyMama replied to blueyesue's topic in General Students

    In my program, nursing fundamentals IS nursing 1. It's a part of the program. The first couple weeks are kind of boring but interesting depending on if you like history and enjoy learning about the...

    Facebook or Blackboard

    CrunchyMama replied to elizhealy's topic in General Students

    Mainly just by student e-mail on the school website, sometimes on blackboard. I don't think it's right to communicate through facebook because not every student has a page. I think e-mail is fine....

    tell me about L&D/PP clinicals

    CrunchyMama replied to anonymousstudent's topic in General Students

    My instructor was a CNM, she was awesome! But still a little Americanized around the edges, lol. But yeah I had to correct a couple nurses after they left the room regarding breastfeeding. Such bad...

    tell me about L&D/PP clinicals

    CrunchyMama replied to anonymousstudent's topic in General Students

    I HATED it! But everyone else (except for the guys and anyone who's anti-kids) loved maternity. It's fairly easy. I'm just against the typical America way of giving birth (inductions/c-sections, etc),...

    BFing/pumping while in nursing school

    CrunchyMama replied to mgalano's topic in General Students

    Yes definitely...and you'll have to unless you want to leak all over, lol. I know of a few nursing students that are pumping. Just make sure you get a good

    Student Moms

    CrunchyMama replied to CNM2B201?'s topic in General Students

    I personally believe that since kids grow so fast, spend as much time as possible with them. Your kids are very young....I would definitely wait. There's no way I would feel comfortable leaving my new...
