  1. Absolutely incompetent...not so sure "it gets better".

    Karl Farmer replied to opossum's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Nurses eat their young, always have, and always will. It's party due to envy (you may be prettier than they are, or rebuke their advances), partly job security fear (they can fire tham and hire new...

  2. Nurses With Criminal Records

    Karl Farmer replied to babygirl_15_95838's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I keep seeing 'expunge', as though it makes any difference. If you read what is being said, regardless of expunged or not you have to answer to any BON that you were arrested. You cannot hide a...

  3. Absolutely incompetent...not so sure "it gets better".

    Karl Farmer replied to opossum's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It will not get better, only worse as the economy gets worse, more paatients per nurse, sicker because already people can't afford their copays an deductibles so are prolonging medical care, meaning...

  4. Where are nursing jobs?

    Karl Farmer posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have heard eastern Oregon has a crisis of a shortage, due to the far-flung rural location. I heard some astounding numbers of nurses that are needed. Also, in here, Detroit sounds ripe- if you can...

  5. Where are nursing jobs?

    Karl Farmer replied to Karl Farmer's topic in General Nursing

    I see no correlation. If a state has 5 millions people, a certain amount will be sick and need health care whether they are employed or not. Probbaly more often in fact, if they are unemployed, due to...

  6. Where are nursing jobs?

    Karl Farmer replied to Karl Farmer's topic in General Nursing

    Good luck with the way Phillipino nurses are being shipped here by the 1000's, based on the 'alleged' nursing shortage here. And they are directly driving down

  7. Where are nursing jobs?

    Karl Farmer replied to Karl Farmer's topic in General Nursing

    And on top of it all the nonsense politics and rigamarole it takes to get the license AFTER the school. Sadder

  8. DUI thoughts, for those who judge:

    Karl Farmer replied to Karl Farmer's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I will also add that if you have been reading my posts about how BON eat their own? Also, I have seen how nurses themselves fail to offer support to their peers. Again, I'll ask you to refrain from...

  9. Will I ever become a nurse ??

    Karl Farmer replied to Happynow2011's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Let me put things into perspective: This sucks, but it could not have happened at a better time- the economy is tanking, nurse jobs are evaporating while pay plummets- it could have happened at the...

  10. Where are nursing jobs?

    Karl Farmer replied to Karl Farmer's topic in General Nursing

    I was a 1/2 mile to the bridge to the beach, at least I could bike there everday, to Sanibel and Honeymoon Island. Not enough to keep me there. If you've been there, you surely saw the new castle HQ...

    Nothing as hellsih as FL, eh? I lived downtown Clearwater- it's trash, heroin, and scientology zombies. And suffocating humid moldy

    Karl Farmer replied to Karl Farmer's topic in General Nursing

    No the island dwellers, by the time they get to dock, board, cross, undock, then sit on the 5 for two hours, it'a three hour trek. They even pack coolers with food so they have

  13. LPN school (CMK)

    Karl Farmer replied to Reese2012's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Only if he/she did not have to work during school, it's not possible, there's too much homework. Also, in my school (Akron School of Practical Nursing), if you spelled one word wrong on a test, the...

    Yikes. But at least it's not daily- people in Seattle do that every

  15. Are LPN's being phased out?

    Karl Farmer replied to JSlovex2's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    This reminds me of those who are the most vocal and hateful to gays- they are normally closeted homosexuals themselves. RNs who insult LPNs are usually the RNs that LPNs can run circles around. It's a...

  16. Which one is more stressful: med-surg or LTC

    Karl Farmer replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in General Nursing

    HH is unstable. You fill out paperwork mostly, and waste gas and time driving. Sad it has come to this despair for nurses. But in LTC they will throw you under the bus first mistake you make. And...

  19. Is it as hard for Lpn's too?

    Karl Farmer replied to UpstateNyDollCna's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    And does that money escalate to the rise of cost of living near the city?

  20. Where are nursing jobs?

    Karl Farmer replied to Karl Farmer's topic in General Nursing

    If you are unemployed, the monkey goes away. If you're in a commune, and don't need to work, monkey stays away. Or work a day or so a month, and monkey only will eat 10% of your disposable income....

  21. Will I ever become a nurse ??

    Karl Farmer replied to Happynow2011's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    4 years, what- $50,000? And taking a chance on not surviving the process of graduation (we don't see much talk in here about the high fail rate of nursing schools), being allowed to test, than being...

  22. LPN school (CMK)

    Karl Farmer replied to Reese2012's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Yes, I was one of 9 placed there by the Army- we sometimes wore our military uniforms to class to defy the instructors, knowing that we had support if they tried to get nasty with us, like they did...

    Northern CA looks good- 1/3 of the economy of Mendocino County is marijuana- if that grows that well there, vegetables and flowers must,

  24. Where are nursing jobs?

    Karl Farmer replied to Karl Farmer's topic in General Nursing

    Small sustainable self reliant farm, commune. Farms are the new wave of the future, and people want local organic food. It's easy to grow. Chickens too. Maybe work a shift or two a month for money....

  25. Where are nursing jobs?

    Karl Farmer replied to Karl Farmer's topic in General Nursing

    You can make far more in any of the millions of hellhole SNFs in FL, if you can stand the abuse, fraud, drug addicted nurses (in Clearwater heroin is the nurses' drug of choice, and the hospital...
