  1. No time for gloves??

    Farmer Jane replied to Ocelot's topic in General Nursing

    But that's exactly the point. It's rare, but it happens. When it happens, you make a

  2. Bsn giving up

    Farmer Jane replied to rednails's topic in General Nursing

    Gotcha, I thought you just meant you couldn't find more critical positions. It must be frustrating to not even get anywhere with med/surg. Have you applied for a part time position on a med/surg...

  3. No time for gloves??

    Farmer Jane replied to Ocelot's topic in General Nursing

    If your skin is intact the safety issue is incredibly small. Would I do it all the time? Of course not and I never said so. But there are situations in which you have to make a choice. In my own...

  4. Bsn giving up

    Farmer Jane replied to rednails's topic in General Nursing

    After being out of the profession for 13 years, you probably have to suck it up and work the floor for a while. You just can't expect to be seen on the same level as someone who's been current all...

  5. What is the law on this....

    Farmer Jane replied to short1978's topic in General Nursing

    It's good that you called regardless of whether you are required to legally do so. I would have done the same thing. Had the car been locked she would have come out to find a windowless

  6. Stay with nursing or move on to another career?

    Farmer Jane replied to avsmch's topic in General Nursing

    Instructors probably aren't much help because they don't know much about other careers. I don't either. My question is, what do YOU like or dislike about nursing? If you really can't see yourself...

  7. No time for gloves??

    Farmer Jane replied to Ocelot's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't say it happens "more often than anyone could imagine" but there are cases that it happens, (like a baby flying out--no time to even grab gloves if they were in your pocket) you have to make...

    If your skin is intact how are you going to get

  9. No time for gloves??

    Farmer Jane replied to Ocelot's topic in General Nursing

    So true! A patient's idea of an emergency and mine definitely differ.

  10. No time for gloves??

    Farmer Jane replied to Ocelot's topic in General Nursing

    She's right. In the vast, vast majority of cases there is time for gloves. But, there are times when you just have to react and wash your hands thoroughly later. I've bare-handed a baby, held...

  11. Nursing Student annoyed me

    Farmer Jane replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Absolutely! Providing anticipatory pain relief is a crucial component of nursing. That said, the wound care team is also responsible here. When a professional is going to be doing something painful...

  14. everyone is afraid

    Farmer Jane replied to gonzo1's topic in General Nursing

    You don't have to prove you didn't do something. That's not the way the law works. You can't get in trouble for merely having a lost item in your

  15. everyone is afraid

    Farmer Jane replied to gonzo1's topic in General Nursing

    What kind of trouble could you have gotten into? Really think about that. Store security does not have the right to search you or hold you. The police would not have done a thing to

  16. Nurses who smoke marijuana

    Farmer Jane replied to e4c5's topic in General Nursing

    Well, if I built a giant greenhouse and a massive hydroponics operation I might be able to pull it

  17. Nurses who smoke marijuana

    Farmer Jane replied to e4c5's topic in General Nursing

    Amen! Heaven forbid farmers make any money producing a product that is safe and effective! (Hey, maybe I do have a dog in this fight. Not really--MJ doesn't grow well in my neck of the

  19. Drugs - The Dead End

    Farmer Jane replied to najad22's topic in General Nursing

    It's not a problem just for modern society. Look up "opium" or "absinthe"

  20. everyone is afraid

    Farmer Jane replied to gonzo1's topic in General Nursing

    This. I'm glad you are the type of person to return a purse and not take it, but it's okay to have

  21. Nurses who smoke marijuana

    Farmer Jane replied to e4c5's topic in General Nursing

    Spidey's Mom, I'm from an area with a lot of drug use, and my career has exposed me to a lot of drug use, and I say this with all sincerity: what you are describing does not sound like *just*...

  22. Nurses who smoke marijuana

    Farmer Jane replied to e4c5's topic in General Nursing

    1) I have 2) I didn't 3) Actually I do see some mild hysteria

  23. Nurses who smoke marijuana

    Farmer Jane replied to e4c5's topic in General Nursing

    The illegality of pot is an outrageous waste of taxpayer funds and other resources. Until the stupid anti-pot laws are reversed, we just have to live with the frequent anti-pot

  24. Can I not perform CPR?

    Farmer Jane replied to LovebugLPN's topic in General Nursing

    That would be the difference between "dead dead" and "only mostly

  25. Can I not perform CPR?

    Farmer Jane replied to LovebugLPN's topic in General Nursing

    Some nursing homes have a policy of only initiating codes when the arrest was witnessed. Personally, I'd code any patient that was a full code. It's good practice, and at least you can say you...
