  1. Nurses are overpaid!

    Bipley posted a topic in General Nursing

    I collect antique medical items such as old metal syringes, books, diagnostic equipment, etc. I also collect very old medical journals. I just won this auction on ebay. It's a medical journal from...

  2. Nurses are overpaid!

    Bipley replied to Bipley's topic in General Nursing

    I got one of my ebay gems in the mail today!!!! It's not one of the journals I've been writing about but instead it is some nursing notes on a single patient from 6/16/1889. It doesn't give a dx but...

  3. How much for your soul? (This is very long.)

    Bipley replied to workingforskies's topic in General Nursing

    Ditto. I'll work a street corner before I work in a hospital as a unit manager

  4. ER/Urgent Care and Psych problems

    Bipley replied to Curious1alwys's topic in General Nursing

    ER might be able to help. Is it a med change issue? Something the ER/ED doc can actually do? If writing an Rx will help they probably can help you. If I were you I would start with your psych. Call...

  5. How much for your soul? (This is very long.)

    Bipley replied to workingforskies's topic in General Nursing

    Nobody should tolerate a hostile working environment, nobody. However when it comes to customer service, that's life. Nursing is changing for the good and bad and this is one of the changes. The...

  6. Your Pet and your schedule...

    Bipley replied to KatieBell's topic in General Nursing

    And that is exactly what they are too! Our little babies. I have my three pounder and 10 pounder on my lap as I type. I can't move around because it will wake them.

  7. How much for your soul? (This is very long.)

    Bipley replied to workingforskies's topic in General Nursing

    What in the world gives you the idea that I said nothing? Or that any of us said nothing? What do you have to back this up? I would pitch fits, create graphs and charts, demonstrate nursing error...

  8. How much for your soul? (This is very long.)

    Bipley replied to workingforskies's topic in General Nursing

    Don't paint us all with such a wide paintbrush, not all are like that. I went into management because I was foolish enough to actually believe I could make a difference. I *did* make a difference in...

  9. Slugged in the chest by med-surg patient

    Bipley replied to stomper's topic in General Nursing

    So you understand the details of a real policemen vs. a wannabe type more than most. I can't imagine anyone asking a real police officer to go to work without a gun. If he is needed to protect...

  10. Was I wrong or was the order wrong?

    Bipley replied to sisterfaye's topic in General Nursing

    What brought this to light? Did someone question the order or how you handled

  11. Vet tech calling herself RN

    Bipley replied to Nightcrawler's topic in General Nursing

    I think you might be assuming that is the case everywhere and that's just not true. I see ads all the time for schools offering vet tech/asst. programs, 9 months and you are out the door working your...

  12. Vet tech calling herself RN

    Bipley replied to Nightcrawler's topic in General Nursing

    I don't have a problem with moderation and I never did. That's what I'm trying to tell you. I have nothing to PM you about, I asked a question, you answered, I understand, and that's all. Nothing...

  13. Sore feet! And what's a "corn" anyway?

    Bipley replied to vampireslayer's topic in General Nursing

    One thought is to try Crocs brand. The way the shoes fit is to NOT touch the sides of your feet. If they fit properly the only part of the shoe that should touch your foot is the bottom. There...

  14. Vet tech calling herself RN

    Bipley replied to Nightcrawler's topic in General Nursing

    I never claimed to have a dispute with moderation. I asked for an education. I didn't realize I needed to keep that hush

  15. Slugged in the chest by med-surg patient

    Bipley replied to stomper's topic in General Nursing

    I wonder why we don't push for better protection in a hospital. Seriously, why don't we get the same thing the VAs get? How come we pay taxes so others can have protection but we can't? Life is...

  16. Vet tech calling herself RN

    Bipley replied to Nightcrawler's topic in General Nursing

    BlueEyes... I believe I need an education here. I'm reading the posts and I'm not seeing what you refer

  17. Slugged in the chest by med-surg patient

    Bipley replied to stomper's topic in General Nursing

    I may be wrong but I believe we all have one, but you can only see your own. You can't see mine but I can. If you are at 0%, you haven't done anything

  18. Vet tech calling herself RN

    Bipley replied to Nightcrawler's topic in General Nursing

    That's a good point, Mule. If we are going to insist that our title be protected, REAL policeman have a right to the correct label as well. Yes, there is a huge difference between hospital security...

  19. My son tried to kill himself tonight

    Bipley replied to Haunted's topic in Psychiatric

    I can't say that I am sitting here with my mouth hanging open, I previously worked with psych patients for many years. I see many issues here that seriously need to be dealt with. Once he is...

  20. Slugged in the chest by med-surg patient

    Bipley replied to stomper's topic in General Nursing

    I have to fess up here. The original post didn't ring true. The reason it didn't ring true is that Mule is a dear dear friend of mine. He's like my big bro. I read the post and thought... nawwww,...

  21. Your Pet and your schedule...

    Bipley replied to KatieBell's topic in General Nursing

    I have Pickles the Bunny and she's a cutey but still a big 'ol pain in the butt. She and the Shih Tzu are good friends and the bunny is certainly the alpha, not the Shih Tzu. I can't say I'd ever get...

  22. advice for young nurse

    Bipley replied to baby_gurl0604's topic in General Nursing

    Stay in school, get your PA-C, and be the primary caregiver for an Indian reservation. You will handle the farming accidents where someone loses a leg due to industrial equipment to a diabetic, you...

  23. Your Pet and your schedule...

    Bipley replied to KatieBell's topic in General Nursing

    LOL... can see it

  24. Scenario:What would you do?

    Bipley replied to Happy-ER-RN's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed. Not sure what exactly was in his belly but he died due to bleeding out. Something broke open and he vomited massive amounts of aterial blood in a matter of seconds. That is what eventually...

  25. Can Someone Please Explain This Xray to Me?

    Bipley replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    Cute CNA... I'd have to disagree. Depending on the state a Chiro has anywhere from 2-6 years of education. When I worked for a Neuro guy our best business came from botched up chiro jobs. A...
