    Bipley replied to amy3072's topic in General Nursing

  6. Greatest code brown stories!

    Bipley replied to sweetpea839's topic in General Nursing

    Bipley replied to selulion's topic in General Nursing

    I had bilateral CT Release a couple of years ago. Best thing I ever did. From the moment you are taken to the recovery room it is an instant cure. Speaking as a patient and not a nurse, I fully...

    Bipley replied to Bipley's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, Chinese was last night, they got pizza tonight. Whatever is going around is really awful. Just running my hand over my arm hurts my skin. Not kidding! My joints ache, I can't breathe, I...

    I am currently posting on another board regarding circumcisions. Nonono... I'm not here to debate the topic all over again! :) What I want to know is this, for you OB nurses or Peds nurses, are you...

  14. My Face Feels Big

    Bipley replied to Bipley's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, you sound like I did when I first moved here. During the daytime it is lower 70's or so. First year I was here I saw little kids walking to school in lower 70's with mittens, furry hats, parka...

  16. MA's Calling Themselves Nurses?

    Bipley replied to Sheri257's topic in General Nursing

    I don't believe you are being called a liar, but we do believe you are mistaken. It isn't possible to give 2cc intradermally. It isn't a matter of it just being wrong, it isn't possible. There...

    Bipley replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    Bipley replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    The 10mEq tabs are about the size of an extra strength Tylenol caplet. Maybe just a bit bigger. I assume you are referring to the 20mEq tablets, they are huge. What about 2-10mEq tabs? I would try...

  21. Meds you hate to give....

    Bipley replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    I was told a long time ago the reason it is called a Skippy enema is because someone by the name of Dr. Skippy invented the recipe, not sure how accurate that is. To be honest, I was LOL so hard I...
