  1. Confused about majors

    Farmer Jane replied to mynameisamyw's topic in General Nursing

    I enjoyed it, but then I like math, chemistry, anything extremely logical. I'm kind of a

  2. Could someone please HELP!!

    Farmer Jane replied to Not sure student's topic in General Nursing

    To work for an OB/GYN in an office, you could either become an LPN or CMA (certified medical assistant). You would do tasks such as bringing patients to the room, taking vital signs, keeping charts...

  3. What Is Atp?

    Farmer Jane replied to kiwi08's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I like this explanation: http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/Biology/atp.html And this one: http://www.bio-medicine.org/biology-definition/Adenosine_triphosphate/ And a very basic explanation:...

  4. What Is Atp?

    Farmer Jane replied to kiwi08's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nurses don't directly use ATP. Which class is this for? Which resources have you used that you are not

  7. What Is Atp?

    Farmer Jane replied to kiwi08's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What kind of project? ATP in biochemistry is adenosine

  8. Confused about majors

    Farmer Jane replied to mynameisamyw's topic in General Nursing

    RunHard is exactly right. Pre-med is a list of requirements, not a major. In order for something to be a major there has to be a degree at the end of it. There is no "pre-med" degree. You can get...

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

    Farmer Jane replied to New2block's topic in General Nursing

    Love it! The more things change, the more they stay the

  10. Masters in Nursing??

    Farmer Jane replied to Epona's topic in General Nursing

    Congrats on everything and good luck to you! I would recommend that you work as an RN for a while (two years at least) before you decide on a specialty. Who knows what you'll like and what doors...

  11. Ethics of Nurse/Patient Relationships

    Farmer Jane replied to patwil73's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    When a student graduates, relationships between a teacher and former student are perfectly

  12. mentally drained

    Farmer Jane replied to kirsteen0926's topic in General Nursing

    It will get better. :) I clearly remember the day, about six months into my nursing career, when I was walking down the hallway and I realized that I "got it." The change had happened gradually so I...

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

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

    This is such a huge issue, and IMO it's a glaring oversight in BSN programs, not to mention the ivory tower in general. In a typical BSN program a full time student will have class every day, at...

  14. Grossest Thing You've Ever Seen

    Farmer Jane replied to sicushells's topic in General Nursing

    Both pain and sexual arousal are caused by the stimulation of nerve endings. That the two get crossed should not be a surprise. Most people are able to utilize one to achieve the other without...

  15. HIPAA Violation???

    Farmer Jane replied to flashpoint's topic in General Nursing

    If there's a public celebration planned, there should be no problem. And if this person's identity is stolen, I suspect a 100 year old person is not going to be entering the credit

  16. Why didn't BSN as entry level work out in ND?

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

    Several reasons: There simply aren't enough BSNs right now, nor are there enough BSN programs. BSNs are less than half of all RNs. Make BSN the entry level with no transition, and congratulations,...

  17. Associate Degree RN as Nurse Manager

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

    Sounds like a degree wasn't the real issue

  18. BSN vs. ADN

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

    Apparently this is a well kept secret, but not everyone gets to go to school for free. Some of us have to pay for it ourselves, all the while providing our own shelter and food. Where I live, a...

  19. Ethics of Nurse/Patient Relationships

    Farmer Jane replied to patwil73's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It depends on a few things: 1) The patient must be of sound health and mind. A relationship should not be started while the patient is still acutely ill, or if the patient is mentally ill. 2) The...

  20. Someone Please Help Me!!!!!!!

    Farmer Jane replied to skadoosh's topic in General Nursing

    I thought young'ns were adept at

  21. Dealing With Negative Feelings

    Farmer Jane replied to ladybug0427's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the others. Ask for a different assignment just as you would were they a family

  22. Who worked during nursing school?

    Farmer Jane replied to hnt1987's topic in General Nursing

    I did, because I had no choice. Food > free time. I wouldn't have done it had there been another reasonable

  23. Best way to ask out a patient

    Farmer Jane replied to bossfrog's topic in General Nursing

    Hey there... LOVE your avatar. I have a pin that says "Farmers for Obama." I don't suppose there's a "Farming Nurses for Obama" pin out

  24. Best way to ask out a patient

    Farmer Jane replied to bossfrog's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think it was personal or meant to be rude. The same has been said about my neighborhood. Heck, *I've* said the same about my neighborhood. ETA: Just last night a man ran down the street--for...

  25. Best way to ask out a patient

    Farmer Jane replied to bossfrog's topic in General Nursing

    It is also an opinion that should be expected to receive a response. I mean really, it doesn't take much higher-level thought process to realize that if you accuse someone of scamming a vulnerable...
