    Bipley replied to Bipley's topic in General Nursing

    Bipley replied to Bipley's topic in General Nursing

    Bipley replied to Bipley's topic in General Nursing

    Bipley replied to Bipley's topic in General Nursing

  11. Holistic Healing

    Bipley replied to nativehealer's topic in General Nursing

    I am NOT claiming any great knowledge in holistic healing but my exceedingly limited experience with it... My dog was ill, the illness would do serious harm as well as the tx. I went to a holistic...

    Bipley replied to scrmblr's topic in General Nursing

    My Dad was dx'd w/colon CA on 12/25/03. He died on 4/26/05. I know how he felt about his nurses on 12/25/05 and if you think it's a pain to be working on Christmas, I agree with CSwain, consider how...

    Bipley replied to Marie_LPN, RN's topic in General Nursing

    That's nice, Marie. It doesn't take away what happened but at least some changes have been made and anything (all involved) could do, was done. Nice comment from the doc

    Isn't Phoenix absolutely fantastic??? I LOVE Phoenix! After living in Iowa (where when you smile in the winter and your lips break) Phoenix is absolutely

  16. Your employer's policy re: *snow and ice*?

    Bipley replied to nervousnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Being a nurse carries a type of responsibility few professions have. One is being at work daily and on time. If you don't show up someone must work in your place. So should that be someone who has...

  18. Please help me understand/Domestic Violence Question

    Bipley replied to Bipley's topic in General Nursing

    You weren't slamming me? I have a feeling of superiority? I am judging those that are in abused relationships? I don't WANT to 'get it'? Claiming I can't "excuse" their behavior as though it is up...

  19. I'm so ANGRY!!!

    Bipley replied to KEVIN88GT's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm not saying people who aren't test takers tend to freak out, I'm saying it is a matter of sometimes they don't even realize how stressed they are. To look at them they are calm and cool. If you...

    Bipley replied to KEVIN88GT's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I used to teach so I'm here to tell you that some folks just aren't test takers. It has absolutely nothing in the world with not knowing the information, they do. They just start to stress over a...

    Bipley replied to Bipley's topic in General Nursing

    I am the OP and I can assure you I do not blame the victim. If coming here and asking sincere questions is a bad thing, so be it. But please don't make assumptions such as you have. You have no...

  23. Please help me understand/Domestic Violence Question

    Bipley replied to Bipley's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, I wasn't raised that way at all. While it was far from Beaver Cleaver's family (I believe I am dating myself LOL) I wouldn't change a moment of the way I was raised. I learned some tough...

  24. working on Christmas?

    Bipley replied to scrmblr's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe we need to redirect this topic. The post previous to mine made me think about what is important. I don't hide the fact that I am atheist. But that doesn't mean I don't care about others on...

    Bipley replied to Bipley's topic in General Nursing

    For those that have been in, or are in abusive relationships, do you think there is a certain personality type that is more apt to be abused? What are the common denominators? What do abused folks...
