  1. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    Farmer Jane replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I agree with the above proposal of making the BSN far more challenging. I do, however, think there should be general education requirements just as with any other science

  2. Facility wants to take my RN title away

    Farmer Jane replied to rnwings's topic in General Nursing

    You could buy those red and white "RN" patches from the Center for Nursing Advocacy and sew them to each top you

  3. ? Why are people saying that nursing is tough? i dont understand whats so hard about

    Farmer Jane replied to Jelet's topic in General Nursing

    If you're a senior in high school you should be applying to colleges now. I think your primary concern should be applying and getting accepted into a university. Since you don't know much about many...

  4. RN vs. BSN

    Farmer Jane replied to mmarqua4's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    This lowly ADN nurse is very, very tempted to correct the hideous spelling and grammar in the post above. Really, if you're going to write a post about how your knowledge is superior and how you want...

  5. RN-BSN vs BSN in terms of jobs after school?

    Farmer Jane replied to ama09's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    There is no

  6. Almost done with RN-to-BSN. Very disappointed.

    Farmer Jane replied to Kosmonavt's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Certainly there's always something to be gained, but I'm still quite disappointed in the utter lack of content, and I think it's okay to think

  7. Almost done with RN-to-BSN. Very disappointed.

    Farmer Jane replied to Kosmonavt's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Should it matter? If we're claiming that the BSN gives a professional edge shouldn't all programs be challenging and

  8. Almost done with RN-to-BSN. Very disappointed.

    Farmer Jane replied to Kosmonavt's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I'm almost finished with my BSN at a well-respected university. I thoroughly enjoy the general education and value all bachelor's degrees for the well rounded education they confer. That said, I've...

  9. Searching for WI hospital requiring RN with BSN

    Farmer Jane replied to zonnenschijn's topic in General Nursing

    Then you're looking for a specific position, not a hospital. Your best route is to do a job search at a hospital's website and look at the requirements for the positions that interest

  10. Searching for WI hospital requiring RN with BSN

    Farmer Jane replied to zonnenschijn's topic in General Nursing

    There's no such thing as a Wisconsin hospital that requires all nurses to have a

  11. Is anybody here taking a BSN online at UW Green bay !!

    Farmer Jane replied to nursebear168's topic in General Nursing

    Kind of. I'm completing my BSN through the UW collaborative program, so while I'm attending UWM, I'm taking the same online courses as people from UWEC, UWGB, and UWO. There are instructors from all...

  12. Am I crazy? -- ADN over Master's Entry program?

    Farmer Jane replied to RNn2010's topic in Post Graduate Students

    That would be great if every field had a CNL role. Right now the role itself is still being developed. If you end up really liking a field that doesn't develop a CNL role, you're still pretty...

  13. Am I crazy? -- ADN over Master's Entry program?

    Farmer Jane replied to RNn2010's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I think you're smart. First, $70K in debt is just not worth it, especially since you'll be a regular bedside nurse when you graduate. Second, until you've worked as a nurse, how do you know where...

  14. Why the high drop out rate of nursing students?

    Farmer Jane replied to newhere_noname's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    One more thought on crying: I don't think crying is any more significant than screaming, yelling, or hitting a punching bag. It's simply a response to emotion, and people express emotions in many...

  15. Why the high drop out rate of nursing students?

    Farmer Jane replied to newhere_noname's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    No, I really don't. My brother is a bio/micro major and I've heard a lot of swearing and seen a lot of kicking (that would be the male version of crying). A degree worth having SHOULD be hard enough...

  16. Why the high drop out rate of nursing students?

    Farmer Jane replied to newhere_noname's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    First, why shouldn't school make you cry? Second, in my experience students have the ability to take classes over once. If they can't hack it twice they probably need to consider another field. I do...

  17. Statistics

    Farmer Jane replied to 7starbuck7's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I was wrong.

  18. Statistics

    Farmer Jane replied to 7starbuck7's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I "rented" an SPSS program from http://www.e-academy.com for

  19. Why the high drop out rate of nursing students?

    Farmer Jane replied to newhere_noname's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Some may not appreciate this reply but, well... I think a big part of the problem is that nursing is not perceived as a career for the "best and the brightest." In general (there are plenty of...

  20. Undecided ADN or BSN

    Farmer Jane replied to confused_student's topic in General Nursing

    Good for you! You won't regret it. I understand giving yourself a time limit, but ask yourself, "What would happen if our second child is born when he's 31?" Is that really so bad? Your...

  21. Undecided ADN or BSN

    Farmer Jane replied to confused_student's topic in General Nursing

    You're already in college and you're young. Just finish the BSN now. I'm doing a completion right now, and believe me it's a PITA. It's actually taking more time total than getting a four year...

  22. Milw area nursing programs any recomendations?

    Farmer Jane replied to dawgmama's topic in General Nursing

    Tell her not to worry. Being nervous during clinicals is SO normal! Honestly, transferring schools isn't going to help her any, and financial aid is probably better where she is than what she'd get...

  23. Milw area nursing programs any recomendations?

    Farmer Jane replied to dawgmama's topic in General Nursing

    If she's already a sophomore I would recommend transferring into a BSN program rather than a tech. She'll likely get in faster, and it will save her a lot of time afterwards because she won't have to...

  24. Disturbing data on Wisconsin

    Farmer Jane replied to barefootlady's topic in General Nursing

    Worst Drunken Driving rate in the U.S.--I'll believe that. I'd still like to know where the OP came up with that figure. Methinks a basic research class may be in

  25. Disturbing data on Wisconsin

    Farmer Jane replied to barefootlady's topic in General Nursing

    To be honest, I think Wisconsinites are rather heavy drinkers (myself included, at times) and I still think this claim is bogus.
