  1. Is it OK for male Dr. to ask female patient to undress in front of him?

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

    Agreed. I had something similar happen to me. Got a dog bite on my knee. By the time I got back into town it was infected. Knowing my doc well I knew I could swing by his office for some abxs....

  2. WHY are nurses so catty??

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

    But my point is that the other 5% (men) don't typically join the behaviors referred to earlier. I understand what you mean, but that's not the kind of behaviors I am referring to. I am referring to...

  3. Meds you hate to give....

    Bipley replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    Kytril is verrry expensive. The others are not, I think that is why they like to give the cheaper drugs

  4. Special Needs Child and Incompetent Parents. (VENT!)

    Bipley replied to TexasPediRN's topic in General Nursing

    In my part of the world they don't need to. On welfare? Need Tylenol? Call the hospital OP pharmacy and the courier will DELIVER your FREE brand name Tylenol to your home. People quickly learn that...

    See Leah... Now I gotta 'splain. This thread was started four times. I picked one and typed... 5 - 4 - 3 - ........ And THAT was the post that stayed! Geez, thanks staff!

  8. Communication with Patients

    Bipley replied to following_faith's topic in General Nursing

    Don't be nervous, just talk to them like you would any other patient of similar age. Assume they understand, far better than assuming they don't when they actually do. You are very wise to research...

  10. Nurses with ADD/ADHD?

    Bipley replied to Metron's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Jerry... There is ALWAYS a light at the end of ANY tunnel. Sometimes it's just not the light you were expecting. Try not to have expectations so if it turns out to be something different it's...

  11. Nurses with ADD/ADHD?

    Bipley replied to Metron's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Doesn't EVERYONE have 20 things going at once and none of them done? However, I propose we finish the TeeUpTime task!

  12. I Double Dawg Dare You, Do It!

    Bipley replied to Bipley's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed, all the needs. You know, regarding Herbie from that day on we had a little different relationship. If he was annoyed at my requests for stories it didn't show quite as much. We had a...

  13. WHY are nurses so catty??

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

    I guess I will go on personal experience. I have seen a great many catty females (not just nurses but it does seem to be worse in a hospital setting) but I don't recall many catty males and no catty...

    Bipley replied to hamilton110's topic in General Nursing

    :roll LOL!!! I was thinking the same thing. I had (note the word "had" LOL) a friend who is an RN that while preggers she explained to me that there would always be one rule in her home. She gets...

  15. For Those that Wear Support Stockings...

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

    I kinda wondered about the unilateral thing but it happens so often (so not a DVT) and I'm still kicking that I really don't worry about it. Except for the fact that it is obvious and fugly. Have to...

  16. WHY are nurses so catty??

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

    We disagree. It is not an outdated attitude, sadly it is the behaviors that are alive and well. Discussing it is what is outdated, or perhaps not PC. These are the same childish behaviors that...

  17. WHY are nurses so catty??

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

    I honestly don't recall ever working with a male that behaved as what we are talking about. Oh, I'm sure they are out there, I just never worked with one. I LOVE working with men, it's fun. I am...

  19. Nurses are overpaid!

    Bipley replied to Bipley's topic in General Nursing

  20. Nurses are overpaid!

    Bipley replied to Bipley's topic in General Nursing

    Actually it was something that was treated as though it was a medical condition. Sometimes they would clip a small piece of the clitoral hood, circs were often times done on boys to make them think...

    Bipley replied to Bipley's topic in General Nursing

    I like that. It was probably pretty darn good for the dog

  22. Nurses are overpaid!

    Bipley replied to Bipley's topic in General Nursing

    All my books with the exception of two are 1800s or earlier. I don't know about the Guttenberg project, can you tell me more about it? Ohhhh, the seller of my journals has MORE up for auction. I want...

    Bipley replied to hamilton110's topic in General Nursing

    A lot of it depends on why you wanted to go into nursing to begin with. So why did you want to go into
