  1. Gay Boomers and nursing attitudes

    Noryn replied to woody62's topic in General Nursing

    See my above post, I was referring to Ahmadenijad or however you spell his name. I do not work in a facility anymore btw. I do have a few questions though. What are the different health needs a...

  2. Gay Boomers and nursing attitudes

    Noryn replied to woody62's topic in General Nursing

    My humor must have been a bit too dry. My first sentence was referring to Ahmadenijad, president of Iran who said that about 2 weeks ago while in New York when asked about Iran executing homosexual....

  3. am I being greedy?

    Noryn replied to tonypeggy's topic in General Nursing

    Gonna chime in late here. It is never unprofessional to negotiate your pay. Pay really is not the most important factor though, working conditions can be so much more important. State or other...

  4. Gay Boomers and nursing attitudes

    Noryn replied to woody62's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah that was such a joke. See this is off topic (sorry) but that is why I dont care to allow these leaders like that here to talk. It is so easy to call them out on things. Actually there probably...

  5. Gay Boomers and nursing attitudes

    Noryn replied to woody62's topic in General Nursing

    There are no gay boomers in our nursing homes or assisted living. We do not have this phenomenon. Seriously, there are still many stereotypes and prejudice against gay people. I am sure if you...

  6. Hospital Workers Suspended for Peeking at George Clooney's Medical Info

    Noryn replied to student456's topic in General Nursing

    I personally think they should be fired if confirmed. This isnt some grey HIPAA area. This is a blatant confidentiality breech with the potential for serious consequences or embarrassment. This...

  7. Nursing strikes

    Noryn replied to DEB52's topic in General Nursing

    It isnt getting that much national attention but there has been some local stories on it. We (in WV) stay behind national trends so while California and other states are implementing safe staffing...

  8. Wrist blood pressure cuffs

    Noryn replied to OklaLPN's topic in General Nursing

    I personally do not like them. They are simple to apply and use for most people. While I dont think they are entirely accurate, I think they can be useful to detecting trends. Generally with almost...

  9. Strange symptoms... =(

    Noryn replied to NICUrn2B's topic in General Nursing

    The thread will be locked. It would be nice if our profession along with the profession of medicine would be so simple. It will take a detailed history and physical along with other tests to...

  10. help in IDing a drug

    Noryn replied to student-with-no-life's topic in General Nursing

    That may be an aspirin but I am on vacation and dont have any good resources at home. I was able to find this but have no way to verify it is correct. If you have to have it confirmed you could...

  11. So you hate your job....?

    Noryn replied to RN Randy's topic in General Nursing

    It is a mess but only your mess if you let it be. There are plenty of options for you, I would definitely try to get on at another hospital in the ICU. Get at least 2-3 years experience and your...

  12. So you hate your job....?

    Noryn replied to RN Randy's topic in General Nursing

    Have you only been a RN for a year? I thought you had been one longer than that. If you love the ICU then apply at either a staffing agency or another hospital. Take the current administration up...

  13. Eye injury

    Noryn replied to Miriam57RN's topic in Emergency

    Please keep us updated but I honestly would not worry about it. I know it is hard not to but I dont see how you are at fault for anything. First things first, you did not cause the injury, and were...

  14. med error..

    Noryn replied to nursiemellie's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Yeah there is no difference in the right or left deltoid except one is on the left and the other is on the right. Either one is fine. You did no

  15. Moving to Charleston, I miss the hills, any suggestions?

    Noryn replied to PiPhi2004's topic in General Nursing

    I have limited experience with CAMC but I have heard good things about the MICU at Memorial. I think there are several LPN schools in the area but you would need to contact the board to find out the...

  16. Anyone Work at Thomas Memorial in Sth Charleston?

    Noryn replied to chloeysmom's topic in General Nursing

    To the best of my knowledge, I havent seen a poster here within the past year that works at Thomas. I have not heard anything about why they would have that many positions open. That is a lot for...

  17. Patients on Medicaid

    Noryn replied to DiEd's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Inevitably when you try to address mismanagement or abuse of resources you get people who use scare tactics to defend their position. The original poster was talking about waste for unnecessary...

  18. "Do you miss the ER?"

    Noryn replied to TazziRN's topic in General Nursing

    I will have been out of the ER 5 years starting this October 1st. Funny how we can remember things like that isnt it. I have never missed it. Near constant stress, inadequate resources, etc. There...

  19. Clinton unveils new health care plan

    Noryn replied to bethin's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I just dont get the specifics. Ok it is mandatory like car insurance. If I get caught driving without insurance I get fined. So if I get caught without medical insurance will I be fined or will I...

  20. Need advice for a friend

    Noryn replied to feebebe23's topic in General Nursing

    With spinal cord injuries the general rule is you hope for the best but prepare for the worst. Typically it takes up to 2 years to know exactly how much return you will get back. Some people may...

  21. Bad Tasting Pills

    Noryn replied to KR's topic in General Nursing

    Ha! I cannot swallow pills for the life of me. When the day comes I am in the hospital I will be a terrible patient when the med pass comes around. Antibiotics in my experience are about the worst...

  22. Questions about urine toxicology

    Noryn replied to teeituptom's topic in General Nursing

    Generally urine drug screens especially those with rapid results have limited use. They can perhaps narrow down what someone took but ultimately the simple ones will not tell you the amount or even...

  23. is urine sterile??

    Noryn replied to somberhue's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    It should be, unless you have some type of infection. Also once it navigates the urethra it may pick up bacteria or upon exiting the

  24. Pornographic movies

    Noryn replied to Mrs. M.'s topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    Ok gonna post my suggestion first (so you dont have to read my rant). He does not sound like a high quad, as he does not sound like he is on a vent. He should have some arm, wrist or even limited...

  25. HIPPA and Law Enforcement

    Noryn replied to htrn's topic in Emergency

    Follow this link and it should answer your question directly. http://www.hhs.gov/hipaafaq/permitted/law/505.html "To respond to a request for PHI for purposes of identifying or locating a suspect,...
