  1. Discharging PTs to an Unsafe Environment??

    Bipley replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    I'm quite sure most do sincerely care a great deal but it doesn't make the problems any less frustrating. Many many years ago (20?) I had a peds patients that tested postive for STDs and it took CPS...

  2. I had some trouble with a CNA...should I talk to the manager?

    Bipley replied to bth44's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with you. Personally, I believe both the RN and CNA were equally at fault. Words can hurt just as much as a hit or slap. I don't think one is less "bad" than the

  3. I had some trouble with a CNA...should I talk to the manager?

    Bipley replied to bth44's topic in General Nursing

    That is NOT what Katy wrote. She wrote of poor social skills in some cases. Not anything near an inability to control one's self. She also wrote absolutely nothing in the world about excusing...

  4. Dealing with moody people

    Bipley replied to pie123's topic in General Nursing

    Take what is good and leave the rest behind. Great job! Even when people are pissy and rude, amazingly... they have something to offer. Sometimes it is a personality conflict, sometimes it is a...

  6. Hot Flashes!!!

    Bipley replied to Haunted's topic in General Nursing

    I am sorry but I disagree with you ladies. There are FARRRR better products vs. Premarin type products. Let's not forget, Premarin IS: Pre-Pregnant Mar-Mare, horse In-Urine... Pregnant horse urine....

  7. Drug addicted nurses

    Bipley replied to ske0124's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Granny.... We disagree. I have seen numerous commercials of "just say no" and in none of them did I see the suggestion to report others and especially parents. The theme of the message was, "don't...

  8. attitudes of male and female patients towards male nursing students

    Bipley replied to Jhanez_k2p's topic in Men in Nursing

    I have to write, I have never done this. I'm not sure I know

  9. Are you too old, tired and unable to do your job?

    Bipley replied to hbncns35's topic in General Nursing

    I know someone like that. I don't know how old she is but I would guess she is in her late 60's. She works circles around everyone else. Plus, she's a joy to work with. And she is also quite...

  10. Are you too old, tired and unable to do your job?

    Bipley replied to hbncns35's topic in General Nursing

    Perfect post, Fergus. I used to do 7-12's and then 7-off. That was two years ago. Today my feet are killing me at the end of 8. But I'm thinking there is a medical reason for that. Oh, I am

    Bipley replied to ske0124's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'm not sure she was talking about addicts, I believe she was referring to kids in school that are not yet

  12. Crocs Brand Shoes

    Bipley posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I did a search on Crocs to see if this has already been discussed and I merely received a message saying I'd need to wait 20 seconds to try again, so I assume not. I just bought my first pair of Crocs...

    Bipley replied to HappyJaxRN's topic in General Nursing

    No no no...

  14. Crocs Brand Shoes

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

    Crocs come in an off white color. They seem to pass for most hospitals that require white. I'm really disappointed in them myself. Day #1 is great, the days following are awful. After a couple of...

  15. Dilute IV meds or not?

    Bipley replied to HappyJaxRN's topic in General Nursing

    If you don't dilute Phenergan you will be listening to a screaming patient WHILE you start the IV in a new location. Same with Diphenhydramine and a slew of

  16. Patient Death - Have you ever....???

    Bipley posted a topic in General Nursing

    I recall a death of a patient, his name was Herbie. Herbie was 95 and had nothing wrong with him. He was just old. He was on no meds, lived in a LTC facility, and was an interesting old man. One...

    Bipley replied to Bipley's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah! PM me toooooo! :) There are lots of good things that happen due to our care. I'd love to see more stories. Sometimes things happen in spite of our care. I want to read those stories, too....

  22. Crocs Brand Shoes

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

    Okay, I have ordered a pair of Asics Gel shoes and Birkenstocks. If these don't work I am just plain OLD!

  24. Patient Death - Have you ever....???

    Bipley replied to Bipley's topic in General Nursing

    YES!! There is a lesson. I guess this is what I didn't know how to put into words. There are lots of lessons.
