    Bipley replied to trfollis's topic in General Nursing

  3. Discharging PTs to an Unsafe Environment??

    Bipley replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    :::: beating head on desk :::: How does this make sense? Clearly I am NOT blaming you, I am merely frustrated. What are medical PROFESSIONALS to do? Call the FD because OUR patient is a victim of...

  4. soften stiff scrubs

    Bipley replied to trfollis's topic in General Nursing

    Wash them with a cup of salt. You know, the plain 'ol cheap salt. It will preserve the color and soften the material. Use warm or hot water to make sure the salt dissolves. Some scrubs co's are...

    Bipley replied to BlessedbyGod's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Gahhhhhhh.... I can't even stand *real* milk. But I can't stand foot pain anymore so even **I** will give it a try. How long before it works? Or if it doesn't work, do I get to come back and yell?...

  6. Devastated

    Bipley replied to HisHands's topic in General Nursing

  8. Nurses with ADD/ADHD?

    Bipley replied to Metron's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Bipley replied to Bipley's topic in Ob/Gyn

  11. Circumcisions-Question

    Bipley replied to Bipley's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Actually, it does. It does matter regarding geographical issues as that is part of the discussion. It would seem that the US is the last to give up this practice. Edit to add: Meaning other than 3rd...

    Bipley replied to burt's topic in General Nursing

    There is a pretty good thread on this topic. One nurse goes into great detail about management point of view and I thought her info was really great. I would do a search for recent stuff on "Studer"...

  13. Circumcisions-Question

    Bipley replied to Bipley's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Ohhhh, one other question. Does anyone see any trends in parents regarding whether or not they have the procedure done? IOW, are there as many parents wanting circumcisions as ... say, 30 years ago?...

  14. Circumcisions-Question

    Bipley replied to Bipley's topic in Ob/Gyn

  20. Nurses with ADD/ADHD?

    Bipley replied to Metron's topic in Health, Stress Management

    It could be either. If you are truely AD/HD you don't focus the way others do so you miss things. So it really could be either one, or

  21. Nurses with ADD/ADHD?

    Bipley replied to Metron's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I never claimed there was no abuse, I wrote that it is over diagnosed in children and underdiagnosed in adults. Your personal accounts do not reflect the world. Amazing, I

  23. Drug addicted nurses

    Bipley replied to ske0124's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I have. And what you claim isn't there. It also isn't there at the link provided by another. The link was posted, it wasn't there. Addiction is a family illness, not a personal one. We aren't...

    Jaime.... My best friend has her PhD and she teaches. She STILL behaves that way. I'm not kidding, she's horrible. It's gotten to the point that her doc orders labs and she brings the lab req to...

  25. What would you think...

    Bipley replied to lpnstudentin2010's topic in General Nursing

    Absolutely NOT! You mentioned this was to donate blood. Let me tell you about needle sizes. The needles they use to siphon a river of blood out of you are nothing more than garden hoses with pointy...
