  1. Religion Needed to be a Good Nurse?

    Bipley replied to Kabin's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    For now, anyway. What happens in a few years when Christianity is no longer the majority religion? This is why I think it is SOOOOO very important to keep religion out of politics....

    Bipley replied to Kabin's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Do you realize that the "God" parts of the currency and pledge were not added until the 50's? Nothing historical

  3. Religion Needed to be a Good Nurse?

    Bipley replied to Kabin's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Ohhh, I know all Christians aren't that way. If they were I certainly wouldn't be a mod on a Catholic forum! LOL It isn't worth giving them a piece of my mind, they need far more than just one piece....

  4. Puuuuuuulese!!

    Bipley replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

    I was in a car accident a few months ago. I had JUST filled an Rx for some eye drops. After the accident they really did go flying and I couldn't find them anywhere. In the ED I explained to the PA...

    Right, let someone ELSE drive on the ice to cover your shift. (still scratching head over that

  6. What do you do with the extra volume in an ampoule?

    Bipley replied to lyallch's topic in General Nursing

    Especially fun to do with MVI.

  7. What do you do with the extra volume in an ampoule?

    Bipley replied to lyallch's topic in General Nursing

    Most drugs have some overfill. If the dose is 5000u/ml then only give 1ml if the dose is 5000u. Trust whatever the label says and know there is overfill. The only time it is an issue is when you are...

  8. Religion Needed to be a Good Nurse?

    Bipley replied to Kabin's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I guess atheism gives "Dark Humor" a whole new meaning, eh? LOL!!! Sorry, couldn't resist. I mainly post on an atheism board. I think you might be surprised to see what types of Christians we get in...

  9. Religion Needed to be a Good Nurse?

    Bipley replied to Kabin's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Oh, that's kind of an atheist joke. When someone refers to being a baby eater that means that some of the fundamentalist Christians believe if we don't share their God then we must have the morality...

  10. Religion Needed to be a Good Nurse?

    Bipley replied to Kabin's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    That's an interesting take of what is written. Can't say I agree with you but it is an interesting take nonetheless. I think it only behooves the Christians to keep gov't and religion wiiiiiide apart....

  11. Religion Needed to be a Good Nurse?

    Bipley replied to Kabin's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    i think there is a misunderstanding here. i didn't read the original poster as saying all religious people are cruel but instead the group s/he has been exposed

  12. Religion Needed to be a Good Nurse?

    Bipley replied to Kabin's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I sent you a PM. I realize this is neither the time nor the place but I would love to learn more about this topic. The topic of helping people leave a given religion (assuming of course, that they...

    Are you familiar with the Treaty of Tripoli? I have a link if you like. Jefferson made it perfectly clear that the US is not based on the Christian religion. He couldn't have been more clear. Besides,...

    Bipley replied to Kabin's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Sbic... Thank you for writing this. I was afraid I wouldn't be as diplomatic so I refrained from responding. But you know what? There is a big huge issue here. This is something we really need to look...

  15. Religion Needed to be a Good Nurse?

    Bipley replied to Kabin's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    As an atheist I should probably be insulted by this statement, but I'm not. Amazingly, it does NOT take religion to encompass basic loving, caring, or moral values that we hold ourselves accountable...

  16. Religion Needed to be a Good Nurse?

    Bipley replied to Kabin's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    A teacher should have made no such claims. I'm an atheist and I have been in the teaching world. I've been a nurse for over 20 years and I do a pretty darn fine job with my patients. Your teacher was...

  17. Hygiene issues, behavior issues, a much older boyfriend, etc...what would you do?

    Bipley replied to flashpoint's topic in General Nursing

    I was kidding when I made that comment.

  18. Drug addicted nurses

    Bipley replied to ske0124's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Well, *I* could! :chuckle I could get narcs out of the Pyxis and not likely get caught however I know Pyxis inside and out. I know it from a Pharmacy perspective as well as nursing. I set up the...

  19. Drug addicted nurses

    Bipley replied to ske0124's topic in Nurses Recovery

    When a nurse requests a report of all patients getting "X" narcotic on that pod, that raises questions in pharmacy. But it all depends on how reports are pulled. If a nurse (or doc such as in OR) is...

    MS04 pulls fluid from the colon, it reduces motility, and many believe it can cause a spasm of the Sphincter of Oddi. There are simply better drugs vs. Morphine for colon or potential GI problems....

    Bipley replied to ebethluther's topic in General Nursing

    I've had quite a few students that would disagree! :) I still teach PRN at an allied health college but even those guys don't like me. They tend to like me a lot better after finals and they are...

    The patient already has a GI Bleed, giving Toradol (a drug that causes mega GI problems for many people) to a person with an existing GI problem is not wise. Yes, Toradol is used for pain but that is...
