  1. Can Someone Please Explain This Xray to Me?

    Bipley replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    Try this: http://www.thedoctorslounge.net/forums/ Look for a radiology forum, a real live radiologist will answer your question. It's a free service run by mostly docs. A few nurses, but mostly...

  2. Scenario:What would you do?

    Bipley replied to Happy-ER-RN's topic in General Nursing

    Adri... While you are a student I am an experienced nurse and I have the same question. And if the patient wants to sign up again, will they be permitted? I think back to my Dad and hospice refused...

  4. Scenario:What would you do?

    Bipley replied to Happy-ER-RN's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe that is the issue, I'm just not there yet. Honorable and noble. I can't really voice what my issue is. I know I am doing the right thing, I've done it many many times over the years. I'll...

  5. Your Pet and your schedule...

    Bipley replied to KatieBell's topic in General Nursing

    A baby "anything" typically decides how the house will run, when someone will be awake to feed, go outside, play, whatever. Amazing what a few ounces of fur can do to a

  6. Your Pet and your schedule...

    Bipley replied to KatieBell's topic in General Nursing

    YES I DO! I have more patience than a saint! I have patience galore! I have more patience than I ever knew was possible. While I fully admit I had no clue what I was getting myself into, a year...

  7. I Double Dawg Dare You, Do It!

    Bipley posted a topic in General Nursing

    In nursing we all do things that we look back on and we are proud of. Even though we do it we don't always acknowledge it. So I double dawg dare you, just HOW have you made a difference in a single...

  9. Scenario:What would you do?

    Bipley replied to Happy-ER-RN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with what you are saying but it still bothers me knowing I am the one that did the dirty deed. I've had patient families approach me and request I do the dirty deed. Just give him enough to...

  10. Your Pet and your schedule...

    Bipley replied to KatieBell's topic in General Nursing

    BTW... If you will be gone for 12 hours at a time, get two dogs, they always have someone to play with. Works

  11. Your Pet and your schedule...

    Bipley replied to KatieBell's topic in General Nursing

    The light of my life in dogs is a Shih Tzu. I absolutely adore them. They are kick back, friendly, stupid, sweet, and usually one person dogs. They don't shed much, don't eat much, don't poop much....

  12. Scenario:What would you do?

    Bipley replied to Happy-ER-RN's topic in General Nursing

    This is something that seriously bothers me on a personal level. Giving morphine to a person and you pretty well know it will be their last dose but damn! They are still hurting. I've given MASSIVE...

  13. Clinic Nurses...Do You Use Another Doctor for Your Personal Doctor???

    Bipley replied to flashpoint's topic in General Nursing

    Now THAT is a close personal working relationship! I've asked doc's I work for to write me an Rx for Albuteral inhalers or something like that but it wasn't a formal office visit. I usually write...

  14. toenail fungus..

    Bipley replied to ldnurse7581's topic in General Nursing

    Old wives tale. If you use Vicks or Listerine the fungus will grow out. If you use nothing the fungus will grow out. Now, that's the black toenail (or fingernail) type. If the person has mycotic...

    Bipley replied to Happy-ER-RN's topic in General Nursing

    oh lord, here we go

  16. I have never met anyone like her...

    Bipley replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    In an ER setting I totally agree with you. I wasn't responding to an ER situation but instead the nasty lady on the floor calling people names and screaming at them. THAT is just not a police...

  17. Scenario:What would you do?

    Bipley replied to Happy-ER-RN's topic in General Nursing

    ????? Maybe Dr. Kevorkian (sp?) had the right idea. Let the patients make their own decisions regarding their own body instead of us deciding that we know better.

  18. I have never met anyone like her...

    Bipley replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not talking about security, that's their job. I'm not talking about an out of control psych patient on a 72 hour hold. I'm talking about the topic of this thread, the PITA patient. Not a psych...

  19. I have never met anyone like her...

    Bipley replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    What's the nurse to do? Dial 911, point to the patient and exclaim, "She's being MEAN!" Maybe the nurse could stomp his/her feeties at the same time to *really* drive the point home to the police...

  21. Ohhhhh your a Nurse!?!?

    Bipley replied to Antikigirl's topic in General Nursing

    I detest that type of attitude. Absolutely hate it. Can you imagine life without

  22. Kicked out of CNA because of RX

    Bipley replied to Shannon RN 2be's topic in General Nursing

    Methadone certainly does have a bad rep. Sadly many folks do believe it is only a legal alternative to illegal drug addiction. While I firmly believe ONE of the uses is a legal alternative to drug...

  23. MA Student and HPC worker

    Bipley replied to sassy43016's topic in General Nursing

    As a CMA you will be able to do a few procedures a CNA can't do. Not sure what state you are in but in Arizona a CMA can draw blood, give injections, assist with procedures and exams, etc. A CNA...

  24. Doctor on the edge of ethical behaviour.....

    Bipley replied to kersti's topic in General Nursing

    (Emphasis my own)This doc isn't on the edge of unethical behavior, he took the infamous

  25. Vet tech calling herself RN

    Bipley replied to Nightcrawler's topic in General Nursing

    We disagree about what it takes to be a vet tech. Schools in Arizona are advertising all day long on TV, radio, billboards, etc. that they can be a vet tech in 9 months. Come to our school, take...
