  1. I got reprimanded at work for not using a bra !

    Farmer Jane replied to Kath80's topic in General Nursing

    Clearly this isn't a cultural issue, as you're being corrected on it in Canada. No one said 40DDD is abnormal, but yes, that is very

  2. I got reprimanded at work for not using a bra !

    Farmer Jane replied to Kath80's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a 38DD so I hear you. It's really hard to find good fitting bras, but it's essential and worth

  3. I got reprimanded at work for not using a bra !

    Farmer Jane replied to Kath80's topic in General Nursing

    Just FTR: even if you pass the pencil test you still need a fitted tank top or tee under your

  4. I got reprimanded at work for not using a bra !

    Farmer Jane replied to Kath80's topic in General Nursing

    Then find another one. There are plenty with wide, padded straps. You could even wear a strapless bra if necessary, a tank top over that, and then your scrub top. Flapping in the breeze is simply...

  5. Is it legal for a teacher to invite a student over to study?

    Farmer Jane replied to nautica843's topic in General Nursing

    Another vote for MYOB. This isn't junior high. ETA: Also, if it took a supernatural force for you to pass, that last thing you should be doing is going after someone else. You need to focus on...

  6. What do you wish students knew?

    Farmer Jane replied to fsaav's topic in General Nursing

    I can't get behind this. When I start a new job it takes me a while to remember where everything is, and I have to ask questions. Why would I expect a student to remember everything when I

  7. What do you wish students knew?

    Farmer Jane replied to fsaav's topic in General Nursing

    Some nurses are really horrible to students and I'm sorry for that. Ask questions, but also be prepared. Have your care plan written out, and know your medications. Provide total care for your...

  8. Courtesies to families

    Farmer Jane replied to THAT Nurse.'s topic in General Nursing

    I wonder how many lawsuits have actually been won based on a blood pressure taken on a non-patient, or are we just running around in

  9. Courtesies to families

    Farmer Jane replied to THAT Nurse.'s topic in General Nursing

    Know the policies at your individual facility. I used to work in a small rural hospital where people could come in to have their BP and HR monitored as a service to the community. In other hospitals...

  10. medicine without a license

    Farmer Jane replied to georgianurseRN's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly. Here's the deal: if you, the supposed DON/OP is researching the subject so that you can update the institutional policy and educate your staff accordingly with NO BLAME, then great. Do so....

  11. medicine without a license

    Farmer Jane replied to georgianurseRN's topic in General Nursing

    Spot on. I would also be throwing a righteous fit if a nurse told me I could not make my own decisions concerning treatment. Patients have autonomy, period. We do not, and should not, have the...

  12. medicine without a license

    Farmer Jane replied to georgianurseRN's topic in General Nursing

    There's nothing wrong with that either. Again, we don't allow residents to make decisions regarding their own healthcare. They have that right,

  13. medicine without a license

    Farmer Jane replied to georgianurseRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yep. People don't lose their rights when they enter a nursing home. That's respecting the resident's right to autonomy, not practicing medicine. Are you really trying to go after this woman's...

  14. Professional Nurse: BSN VS ADN... need help...

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

    While I disagree with this: because being a professional certainly does require education, I also think there is a significant difference between this: and pointing out the professionalism of all...

  15. Are you feeling effects of the economy on nursing?

    Farmer Jane replied to kjp1962's topic in General Nursing

    I was laid off last week. My unit closed, as did several others. No worries, I start a new job this

  16. Things you'd LOVE to be able to tell patients, and get away with it.

    Farmer Jane replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I hear percogesic is really

  17. I'm only 22 years old.

    Farmer Jane replied to oncologynurse77's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly. Age tends not to matter when you're young. When you get to the point of feeling extremely flattered when the bartender asks for ID you start to realize that with age and experience comes...

  18. I'm only 22 years old.

    Farmer Jane replied to oncologynurse77's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly. I dealt with a lot of crap before I was 22. It made me older than my years and I wouldn't wish that on anyone. 22 is quite

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

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

    Me

  20. Does taking low census look bad?

    Farmer Jane replied to uscstu4lfe's topic in General Nursing

    If it works for you, fine. The only thing I would recommend to do differently is, instead of always requesting off, put down that if someone else wants off they should get it. You can say this when...

  21. I'm only 22 years old.

    Farmer Jane replied to oncologynurse77's topic in General Nursing

    You're taking that phrase out of context. She never said she would tell a patient that she is lucky. There is no reason to think she is anything but an excellent nurse. See below: I think this is...

  22. Socialized Medicine....WHAT IF?

    Farmer Jane replied to unclebenny20's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    This has been my experience as

  23. What Would You Like to Chart if You Can Get Away With It?

  25. how many of you go to the grocery store after working with patients?

    Farmer Jane replied to ilmbg's topic in General Nursing

    Sure I do, but I'm certainly not "guilty" of it. "Guilty" implies wrongdoing. If my scrubs are so gross that wearing them in public creates an infection risk, I should have changed hours
