  1. Do Newbies "Eat" Their Elders?

    Farmer Jane replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    So true! I get such a kick when the parents of GenY and younger complain about the kids' entitlement and worth ethic. Um, hello? Who raised

  2. Do Newbies "Eat" Their Elders?

    Farmer Jane replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    Farmer Jane replied to mondkmondk's topic in General Nursing

    I think I would make the drive to buy a Fleets enema before I got that

    Congratulations!!!

    Farmer Jane replied to Jetskisgurl's topic in General Nursing

    You can Google as well as I can.

  7. I am OUT!!

    Farmer Jane replied to sherriberry1's topic in General Students

    Please don't give up. Many people have been there, and are nurses now. :) As a side note: I think it's too bad the math test is not a prerequisite for getting into the program. I think that would...

  8. Don't "click" too well with classmates

    Beautifully said,

  9. Don't "click" too well with classmates

    Farmer Jane replied to TootyFruity703's topic in General Students

    Remember too that an IQ test is just a snapshot. I'm sure my IQ would look an awful lot lower before my morning (brewed forever and a day)

    No. Just

  11. When it's the visitor who needs the ER....

    Farmer Jane replied to nerdtonurse?'s topic in General Nursing

    While I agree with the overall point--we're better off recommending that someone call his/her primary or go to the ER, and not assess the person ourselves--I do have to point something out: we are...

  12. Don't "click" too well with classmates

    Farmer Jane replied to TootyFruity703's topic in General Students

    Speaking of pillows, I'm tired! I had a lovely dinner at a lovely friend's house and enjoyed lovely conversation with many lovely people. I'm off to bed to snuggle up with my lovely

  13. Don't "click" too well with classmates

    Farmer Jane replied to TootyFruity703's topic in General Students

    ETA: I posted at the same time as TheCommuter. The following is in response to White Pillow's post: No problem! If you didn't know, Tartuffe is the great hypocrite. He preaches to others about...

    Farmer Jane replied to TootyFruity703's topic in General Students

    I only implied that you were acting like Tartuffe after you did so. You threw the

  15. Don't "click" too well with classmates

    Farmer Jane replied to TootyFruity703's topic in General Students

    My dear, I never said anything about people being stupid because they are not familiar with a literary character. I inferred that I, like the OP, felt like a fish out of water because my interests...

  16. Don't "click" too well with classmates

    Farmer Jane replied to TootyFruity703's topic in General Students

    There may be some misunderstanding of previous posts. They neither condoned the class system nor put down working class people. I also grew up working class, but I was fortunate to have parents who...

  17. Bipolar Disorder and other Psych DX

    Farmer Jane replied to weirdRN's topic in General Nursing

    Depends. Are you capable of holding down a job? Are you capable of consistently coming to work and performing in a competent manner? If so, it's none of the employer's business. If not, then it's...

  18. Okay, I was wrong...

    Farmer Jane replied to weirdRN's topic in General Nursing

    Did you actually apply at that hospital? Simply calling does no good. You have to apply, complete with cover letter and resume. You say you're in a small rural town. Fact is, jobs are often limited...

  19. Would you accept LPN wages as an RN just to have a job?

    Farmer Jane replied to mondkmondk's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know about that. When you choose to become an RN over an LPN you have a reasonable expectation that your income will increase. When you choose to complete a BSN you expect that your pay will...

  20. Would you accept LPN wages as an RN just to have a job?

    Farmer Jane replied to mondkmondk's topic in General Nursing

    I've heard that LPN = "Low Paid Nurse" And while to an extent that's true, there aren't many other careers that offer such a level of pay for one year of post-secondary education. It's enough to put...

  21. Would you accept LPN wages as an RN just to have a job?

    Farmer Jane replied to mondkmondk's topic in General Nursing

    If I had no other option, sure. LPN pay is better than McDonald's pay. If I had other options, no way in

  22. As a RN have you ever had a problem finding a job?

    Farmer Jane replied to New2block's topic in General Nursing

    I've only worked in Wisconsin, but in two very different areas. I've never had a problem finding a job. In fact, I've always gotten exactly the job I

  23. There is really no nursing shortage!?!?

    Farmer Jane replied to New2block's topic in General Nursing

    In nursing, yes. In general, a degree with almost always offer more opportunities than a shorter program. Yes, you can find work as an LPN, it just may be more

  24. There is really no nursing shortage!?!?

    Farmer Jane replied to New2block's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly? I know a lot of LPNs who find their career prospects extremely limited. LPNs can work in long term care, clinics, and... that's about it. In clinics, CMAs are just as frequently used so...
