    Bipley replied to OliveVinesRN's topic in General Nursing

  6. How do I live my life after being at the hospital? Help!

    Bipley replied to shadowrose81's topic in General Nursing

    Yep, I know exactly what you mean. I have this all figured out. You see, other professions see some of the people some of the time. In medicine we see all the people all the time. Not everyone goes...

  7. Does MD really stand for Mad Diva?

    Bipley replied to OliveVinesRN's topic in General Nursing

    Pissy docs are typically emotionally lazy people. They pick on those they can. If someone doesn't permit it, the creepy docs are usually too lazy to persue their behaviors. They find a new

  8. Does MD really stand for Mad Diva?

    Bipley replied to OliveVinesRN's topic in General Nursing

    An OR nurse I know was pretty livid after a podiatrist squirted her crotch with Betadine solution. He was laughing and having a grand old time. She pushed the issue and used the magic words,...

  9. Hospital Love Stories ! ! !

    Bipley replied to Esmeraldad1203's topic in General Nursing

    I was running a LTC facility and one of my VA patients was in a VA hospital. He called me and told me of the care he was getting and I was furious. Furious doesn't even begin to describe my anger....

    Bipley replied to shadowrose81's topic in General Nursing

    Bipley replied to Turd.Ferguson's topic in General Nursing

    Needles don't bother me in the least. I don't care if it is for Penicillin... you know, those things that look like they are about a 2 gauge? LOL Doesn't phase me. BUT... Just TRY to poke my finger...

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

    I *just* sent my PayPal payment for an eBay purchase of Women's ASICS Gel Tennis Shoes. I found a "walking" forum on About.com and everyone seems to be suggesting this brand. We'll see what they do....

  15. Person who has a seizure

    Bipley replied to HappyJaxRN's topic in General Nursing

    The nostril trick doesn't stop a seizure, it just gets them breathing again. I've only used it a handful of times, usually breathing isn't an issue. But when it was I was pretty shocked at how well...

  16. I made a mistake with my home meds and it affected me at work, will I lose my job?

    Bipley replied to jeanapoole's topic in General Nursing

    Not necessarily. Be very honest, don't fib, come clean, tell the truth, and hope for the best. If you took Ambien, that isn't typically a drug someone would want to abuse, not while working. Usually...

    Bipley replied to HappyJaxRN's topic in General Nursing

  21. Person who has a seizure

    Bipley replied to HappyJaxRN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with Steph. You have no idea if the person is apt to have seizures or not. I learned something years ago from a neurologist and I have never met anyone that was familiar with this. I have...

  22. Beyond bad credit-struck by lightening twice

    Bipley replied to august_snow's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure they are looking for incentives to pay, owing money and the desire to make good on a promise is the incentive. A credit score should be to demonstrate if someone is willing to pony up to...
