1. Nurses are overpaid!

   Bipley replied to Bipley's topic in General Nursing

   I got one of my ebay gems in the mail today!!!! It's not one of the journals I've been writing about but instead it is some nursing notes on a single patient from 6/16/1889. It doesn't give a dx but it does give ALL nursing notes. I have to admit,...

2. How much for your soul? (This is very long.)

   Bipley replied to workingforskies's topic in General Nursing

   Ditto. I'll work a street corner before I work in a hospital as a unit manager again.

3. ER/Urgent Care and Psych problems

   Bipley replied to Curious1alwys's topic in General Nursing

   ER might be able to help. Is it a med change issue? Something the ER/ED doc can actually do? If writing an Rx will help they probably can help you. If I were you I would start with your psych. Call and push the heck out of the receptionist until you...

4. How much for your soul? (This is very long.)

   Bipley replied to workingforskies's topic in General Nursing

   Nobody should tolerate a hostile working environment, nobody. However when it comes to customer service, that's life. Nursing is changing for the good and bad and this is one of the changes. The hospitals that are not making these changes are the hos...

5. Your Pet and your schedule...

   Bipley replied to KatieBell's topic in General Nursing

   And that is exactly what they are too! Our little babies. I have my three pounder and 10 pounder on my lap as I type. I can't move around because it will wake them. LOL

6. How much for your soul? (This is very long.)

   Bipley replied to workingforskies's topic in General Nursing

   What in the world gives you the idea that I said nothing? Or that any of us said nothing? What do you have to back this up? I would pitch fits, create graphs and charts, demonstrate nursing error corrolates with being short staffed, I did every bl...

   Bipley replied to workingforskies's topic in General Nursing

   Don't paint us all with such a wide paintbrush, not all are like that. I went into management because I was foolish enough to actually believe I could make a difference. I *did* make a difference in a LTC setting but to try to be positive, do the RI...

8. Slugged in the chest by med-surg patient

   Bipley replied to stomper's topic in General Nursing

   So you understand the details of a real policemen vs. a wannabe type more than most. I can't imagine anyone asking a real police officer to go to work without a gun. If he is needed to protect others, he should be permitted to do as he has been tra...

9. Was I wrong or was the order wrong?

   Bipley replied to sisterfaye's topic in General Nursing

   What brought this to light? Did someone question the order or how you handled it?

10. Vet tech calling herself RN

    Bipley replied to Nightcrawler's topic in General Nursing

    I think you might be assuming that is the case everywhere and that's just not true. I see ads all the time for schools offering vet tech/asst. programs, 9 months and you are out the door working your new career. I've lived in five states and none o...

11. Vet tech calling herself RN

    Bipley replied to Nightcrawler's topic in General Nursing

    I don't have a problem with moderation and I never did. That's what I'm trying to tell you. I have nothing to PM you about, I asked a question, you answered, I understand, and that's all. Nothing more.

12. Sore feet! And what's a "corn" anyway?

    Bipley replied to vampireslayer's topic in General Nursing

    One thought is to try Crocs brand. The way the shoes fit is to NOT touch the sides of your feet. If they fit properly the only part of the shoe that should touch your foot is the bottom. There should be a bit of air between the sides/top of your f...

13. Vet tech calling herself RN

    Bipley replied to Nightcrawler's topic in General Nursing

    I never claimed to have a dispute with moderation. I asked for an education. I didn't realize I needed to keep that hush hush.

14. Slugged in the chest by med-surg patient

    Bipley replied to stomper's topic in General Nursing

    I wonder why we don't push for better protection in a hospital. Seriously, why don't we get the same thing the VAs get? How come we pay taxes so others can have protection but we can't? Life is changing and hospitals are changing. We take care of ...

    BlueEyes... I believe I need an education here. I'm reading the posts and I'm not seeing what you refer to.
