  1. Medications Which Can Kill A Toddler With One Tablet Or Teaspoonful

    Noryn replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Patient Medications

    I would love to see a research article or case study on this. I guess I need to know the definition of infant. I would not expect 1 cigarette butt to contain enough nicotine to kill a child....

  2. Tylenol, how safe is this drug

    Noryn replied to nialloh's topic in General Nursing

    With Ibuprofen you will likely not see significant liver damage, it may cause some elevation in liver enzymes but in extremely large amounts you can develop renal

  3. Tylenol, how safe is this drug

    Noryn replied to nialloh's topic in General Nursing

    do you have any research or evidence to back this up? generally the thing considered most important is time frame they arrive to the er. when given within 8 hours of the exposure it is extremely...

  4. Does anyone think nursing diagnoses are just plain silly?

    Noryn replied to marie-francoise's topic in General Nursing

    Wow such a heated topic! I graduated around 10 year ago and to be honest I have used NANDA approved nursing diagnosis very little--my first year out I used them a bit otherwise I cannot remember the...

  5. Best Response

    Noryn replied to PedNurse4Ever's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I would choose "A". You have to address domestic violence immediately. The patient's safety and ER safety are at risk. So you would not wait until treatment of wounds to address domestic violence....

  6. "Ask me if my hands are clean"

    Noryn replied to bethin's topic in General Nursing

    This is so ridiculous. See I am a rear end, hence I have had 6 jobs in the past 10 years but I swear I would have stickers made up and placed in administration saying, "Ask me if I have defrauded...

  7. oh ye uninformed... this is why er nurses "don't care"

    Noryn replied to Uptoherern's topic in Emergency

    This happens all over the country all the time. Some will actually call an ambulance, once they get to the hospital in town will leave not being seen so basically they can get a free fast ride to...

  8. ARH strike!!!!

    Noryn replied to barefootlady's topic in General Nursing

    What facility in Wyoming County closed? ARH did have a home health agency there one time but it closed down. I forgot what the hospital was, was it Wyoming General? That hospital was way before my...

  9. Superbugs here???

    Noryn replied to barefootlady's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah housekeeping has consistently been cut and many administrations expect nurses to pick up the slack but there is just no way a nurse can adequately clean the room while taking care of patients....

  10. Where's all the great jobs?

    Noryn replied to edchunt's topic in General Nursing

    I havent heard too much about it. I think one of the reasons people have been going there is because of the pay. But yeah, there is enough work already without people having to make up extra work to...

  11. Forced Blood Draw? (DUI situation)

    Noryn replied to West_Coast_Ken's topic in Emergency

    Thanks for your post, it does clarify some things but I dont think you understand the core values and duties of a nurse. Our "job" is taking care of our patients, not enforcing laws, punishment, etc....

  12. WV Nurse Externships?

    Noryn replied to MachewRN's topic in General Nursing

    I am pretty sure it is close to if not what an aide makes. But again the experience is great to get. I lived too far away or I would have done this. I think the VA paid really well for their...

  13. Sloppiness results in write-up

    Noryn replied to longjourneydream's topic in Emergency

    Yeah I took it as she did the vitals but forgot to put them in the computer. But the ER is rough, especially for a new grad. I have seen seasoned nurses cry when pulled to the

  14. Held Down and Forced to Take The FLu Shot

    Noryn replied to Nurse_FF_EMT's topic in General Nursing

    I call shenanigans! I am pretty sure this not happening or being exaggerated or made up to scare people or joke with them. If not please pm me the facility and let me go to work there. I would love...

  15. Where's all the great jobs?

    Noryn replied to edchunt's topic in General Nursing

    That is kind of disappointing about Cabell, I have a good friend there and she loves it after working in Charleston. But I have heard they are losing quite a few to King's daughter's. Unless you...

  16. Isn't there anything we can talk about on here?

    Noryn replied to edchunt's topic in General Nursing

    I am not getting the flu shot, I for the most part stay away from people. To me the risks just arent worth it, I am young and healthy though, maybe when I get older. I dont really have any plans...

  17. Superbugs here???

    Noryn replied to barefootlady's topic in General Nursing

    Well I feel there is definitely an increase in the community acquired MRSA. It is a bit concerning because it is making healthy people sick and seems to be more virulent than normal staph. I just...

  18. WV Nurse Externships?

    Noryn replied to MachewRN's topic in General Nursing

    I had a friend do a nurse extern deal at CAMC. He really liked it, you are an aide for the most part but learning the basics really really helps in nursing school. After his summer externship he...

  19. Why can't the other 49 states get ratio laws?

    Noryn replied to bethin's topic in General Nursing

    Contact your legislators and write to the papers. California is often the leader on issues. But the CNA really did a great job of organizing the nurses especially after the governor went against...

  20. hitting on female nurses..

    Noryn replied to nurseulove's topic in Men in Nursing

    Be careful unless you want a sexual harassment complaint. If you are interested in a female nurse, ask her out, if she says no then dont bring it up again. Again, be careful about "hitting" on...

  21. Sloppiness results in write-up

    Noryn replied to longjourneydream's topic in Emergency

    Wouldnt be the first time . And I would take my self respect with

  22. Sloppiness results in write-up

    Noryn replied to longjourneydream's topic in Emergency

    It is just my opinion, I am not always right. From what I read in the post it seems like a poor learning environment. Whenever a doctor writes you up generally that is written documentation that...

  23. Isn't there anything we can talk about on here?

    Noryn replied to edchunt's topic in General Nursing

    There really arent a lot of regular posters here. Most come and go. But you come up with the post and I will give my

  24. Where's all the great jobs?

    Noryn replied to edchunt's topic in General Nursing

    Charleston for the most part. You have so many options, after you get some hospital experience you can then move on to many state based jobs like medicaid inspector, children with special healthcare...

  25. ARH strike!!!!

    Noryn replied to barefootlady's topic in General Nursing

    I think I posted in the link in nursing news. This is sad, I have never worked for BARH but I have worked with some of their nurses and they have been excellent. I really wish the NNOC would begin...
