    Bipley replied to Kabin's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Right... just the atheists so it's okay. Look, since slams are starting to fly the thread will be closed and I'm not going to participate in a slam fest anyway. However, this thread did a good job of...

  5. A nurse's ethical responsibility

    Bipley replied to semiller's topic in General Nursing

    LOL... that happened in our OR once. We knew what they always did in a given room but com'on... it was OR! They wouldn't even clean up after themselves. Gahhh... Finally one day we left the...

  6. Religion Needed to be a Good Nurse?

    Bipley replied to Kabin's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    As amazing as it is, atheists... those with no religion, no God, no religious rules, we are quite able to maintain a modicum of morality. I know I know... weird - yet true. Personally I would be more...

  8. Idiopathic Edema

    Bipley replied to PhoenixGirl's topic in General Nursing

    I experienced something similar and I ignored it for a long time. I didn't do anything about it until it felt like something was growing in my throat and I started to sound like Mr. T. Turns out my...

  9. Religion Needed to be a Good Nurse?

    Bipley replied to Kabin's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    WHAT? Are you serious? No, no violation of c/s issues. There is a difference between my professional license vs. Gov't sponsored events. You seriously need to look at the laws again because I believe...

  10. A nurse's ethical responsibility

    Bipley replied to semiller's topic in General Nursing

    I had to laugh when I read this, this is SOOOO true! They think they are the manager's best friend and they do less work and more snooping. They usually don't last long in any given dept. They are...

  11. Religion Needed to be a Good Nurse?

    Bipley replied to Kabin's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    How DARE you value nature! What's wrong with you??? LOL Yes, I know what you mean. When I was going through my struggling years (trying to find a God I could believe in) I expressed this to a few of...

  12. Treating residents/patients like idiots

    Bipley replied to Mirai Kangofu's topic in General Nursing

    All the time. Older folks refer to docs that way a great deal. My Dad was one that would call females honey or sweetheart and he never once meant anything bad by it. It wasn't sexist, it wasn't...

  13. Treating residents/patients like idiots

    Bipley replied to Mirai Kangofu's topic in General Nursing

    Some of them have amazing stories! During my care home days I had a lady that was forgetful to the point she forgot where she was. She couldn't find her room, she was really declining. One day we...

  14. Religion Needed to be a Good Nurse?

    Bipley replied to Kabin's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Well, there was another revival! It was about 3 years ago at its peak and that is when it was the 'in' thing for high school students to be deeply religious. Needless to say, it didn't go over with...

  15. A nurse's ethical responsibility

    Bipley replied to semiller's topic in General Nursing

    No. No. Yes. The patient may still be able to hear, this is different. Seems to me the nurse wanting to run around "telling on" everyone is the person that is holding OTHERS to higher...

  16. advice for concern please!

    A friend of mine was a big exec at the leading sugar company. (US posters have likely purchased their sugar at your grocery store). He was hauling in the bucks in CA. While he was working he was...

  17. House, MD last night.....AAAGH!

    Bipley replied to SteveNNP's topic in General Nursing

    I always enjoy it when I see him saying what I want to say but can't. I'm a professional, after all.

  18. Why do I feel like I'm doping my patients?

    Bipley replied to MikeyBSN's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for saying that. Although I was 43 when he died, I was still a daddy's girl in every way. He was very cool and I miss him a great deal. But you know what? I could deal with all this much...

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

    Bipley replied to Jhanez_k2p's topic in Men in Nursing

    The two times I have been inpatient I specifically requested a male nurse. I wouldn't do that if I was an inpatient in my own hospital, but when I don't work with the guys after my discharge I...

  20. House, MD last night.....AAAGH!

    Bipley replied to SteveNNP's topic in General Nursing

    Let's just be honest here. Nurses rule and that's how it is.

  21. Force a pt to turn or not? (Slighty long)

    Bipley replied to kazmomRN's topic in General Nursing

    Nothing to add, everyone else is absolutely correct. Just remember, in a situation like this you really can't document too much. Document your little heart

  22. Religion Needed to be a Good Nurse?

    Bipley replied to Kabin's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Let them try. ? I happen to agree with you. There is a whole different saga that goes with being gay, it's something I can superficially understand but I will never relate because I'm not gay....

  23. Why do I feel like I'm doping my patients?

    Bipley replied to MikeyBSN's topic in General Nursing

    I have to post one of those "personal experience" stories. It just explains my point well. My Dad had terminal colon CA, he died 4/26/05. When I flew home to say my good bye's I knew it was the last...
