  2. Do you think some people just "dont have what it takes"

    Bipley replied to nursenatalie's topic in General Nursing

    When I first became a nurse I really questioned if I had whatever that "thing" is that it takes to do the job well. I have a weird sense of humor and I laugh when I become nervous, sometimes I would...

  3. Have you ever had to use CPr on the job or anywhere else?

    Bipley replied to amy3072's topic in General Nursing

    What good would 30 compressions do with two low O2 breaths? A comes before B and all that good stuff..... Seriously, that's a HUGE difference between the way I've always been

  5. Have you ever had to use CPr on the job or anywhere else?

    Bipley replied to amy3072's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't realize it was that low, I guess I thought it was a bit higher. What about the type of breaths? It isn't a normal type breath, it is a deep breath pushed out quickly. Wouldn't that make a...

  6. Have you ever had to use CPr on the job or anywhere else?

    Bipley replied to amy3072's topic in General Nursing

    Bipley replied to amy3072's topic in General Nursing

    I wasn't going to bring this up unless someone else did. First time I ever did CPR was on a 10 y/o kid w/CP. I wasn't even a nurse, just started nursing school. The kid threw up in my mouth....

  8. Kidney Stones.......AGAIN!!

    Bipley replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

    I quit taking Allopurinol because the tiny stones that don't always show up on films become even smaller.. small enough to pass. OUCH! I had gravel the whole time I was taking that drug. Now I have...

  9. Anyone ever pass out at work....I just did :'(

    Bipley replied to IloveSnoopy's topic in General Nursing

    Bipley replied to KatieRN04's topic in General Nursing

    I've worked for Good Sam and I really liked it. Lots of very nice people but it also depends on which floor you work on. They have 12 floors and then the dungeon. There are several buildings and...

  11. Shoes

    Bipley replied to blueeyedgoose's topic in General Nursing

    Bipley replied to Rockstar's topic in General Nursing

    OP... BTW... THIS is how we get through some of the more negative and gross experiences in nursing. We laugh. While you are doing something that would make the best of the best gag and hurl, just...

    Bipley replied to Rockstar's topic in General Nursing

    You know, earlier I was trying to think of a way to ask what poop tastes like while sounding really sincere, a genuine interest, something more likely to make you answer. HA! Then I thought about...

  16. Kidney Stones.......AGAIN!!

    Bipley replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

    Yep, you get weak knees and you don't know if you should take some of the energy your body is using to hold the gut/back/flank spasms in place or if you should send some energy down to your knees so...

    Bipley replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

  23. WHY are nurses so catty??

    Bipley replied to SnowymtnRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    We seem to have different experiences. I still say I enjoy working with men more, it's just more fun. Now HERE we agree 100%! I have to admit that I don't turn a deaf ear to gossip, but I can say...

    Bipley replied to Rockstar's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I was one of the people that suggested that. Just a note, a small jar of vicks is bulky and hard to carry. It comes in a tube like chapstick and easier to stuff up your nose. LOL! But really,...
