  1. for those of you with non-hospital jobs...

    Noryn replied to beachgirl01's topic in Nursing Career

    Generally the good jobs are harder to come by. Two years experience likely is not enough for most of them (not all). Also people downplay med-surg nursing, I think it is the most challenging, but...

  2. Pt signed out AMA then died! what do you think?

    Noryn replied to jenrn6282's topic in General Nursing

    Generally as long as we are competent adults we are able to make our own decisions. Some decisions turn out to be good, some poor. His decision was obviously poor. In today's environment we often...

  3. Best way to ask out a patient

    Noryn replied to bossfrog's topic in General Nursing

    On one hand this could be your soul mate, on the other hand this could put your job and license (somewhat) at risk. My opinion is that you have already crossed the boundaries because you are...

  4. Protocol question on suicides where they OD on sleeping pills..

    Noryn replied to justme1972's topic in General Nursing

    This reminds me of a situation that occurred in my hospital. A patient's heart rate went to 30 while they were sleeping. The solution according to the nurses in charge? Wake the pt up and walk him...

  5. Please answer test questions

    Noryn replied to smstar1996's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Discard the blood and medicine per facility protocol--realize there may be special precautions for narcotics and this will be a

  6. Telephonic Nursing Calling across state lines

    Noryn replied to MrsLilRat's topic in Telephone Triage

    When I was in telephone triage, the only other state I had to be licensed in was California. That was about 7 years ago

  7. MMR vaccination and autism

    Noryn replied to vadee's topic in General Nursing

    Everyone has an opinion but not everyone has peer reviewed scientific studies. Vaccinations have been one of the greatest breakthroughs in our civilization. In this day and time, we are exposed to...

    Noryn replied to vadee's topic in General Nursing

    No because none

  9. Reposting Tonsilectomy question...

    Noryn replied to smstar1996's topic in General Nursing

    Well the rationale is that charcoal will absorb (actually adsorb, think of magnet not sponge) the medication. But in the age of evidenced based care, it hasnt shown to improve patient

  12. True or False Advice

    Noryn replied to mukhorty's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    False to a point. English and Technical Writing will help you immensely. Anatomy also will be of benefit so you do need to retain that. Classes like Western Civilization, Sociology, etc not so...

  13. Can you be a nurse without working in the hospital? Please help.

    Noryn replied to Cfitz's topic in General Nursing

    It may be really difficult. Dayshift generally is a preferred shift but what hurts you is your lack of experience. Why don't you apply for some prn or part time day shift positions on birthing units...

  14. Potter & Perry: Fundamentals 7th Ed. Errors in NCLEX Questions

    Noryn replied to jlmtk's topic in General Students

    That book is so old! I know they update it with revisions and future editions but despite how much nursing changes, Potter and Perry remains a staple! 15 years ago I never found any mistakes--gosh I...

  15. Should I quit Nursing School???

    Noryn replied to sns501's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I don't think that nursing school is the priority for the original poster. Nursing school is "needy" though, it wants to be the priority. If your heart is not in it, you will not do

  16. Reposting Tonsilectomy question...

    Noryn replied to smstar1996's topic in General Nursing

    The original question in this post was a great example of critical thinking and what to expect on the NCLEX. This second question is not. You can critically think all day but if you do not...

  17. Medication Error/Unruly DON

    Noryn replied to anj1995's topic in Nursing Career

    I honestly feel you should have gave the medicine. You were on the clock when it was due. Most places have an hour one way or the other. In this case you would have had 1 hour 15 min to give it...

  18. Now or never?

    Noryn replied to nurseontheway's topic in General Nursing

  20. weird situation

    Noryn replied to hollyberry678's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah my thoughts are don't worry about it. If the manager wants to let negative aides create a toxic environment then I wouldnt want to work there, why should

  21. Reposting Tonsilectomy question...

    Noryn replied to smstar1996's topic in General Nursing

    Before you can critically think about the situation you have to know what you are thinking about..... It is a very poor question. You just don't have the information you need to be able to critically...

  22. Reposting Tonsilectomy question...

    Noryn replied to smstar1996's topic in General Nursing

    I would find it sad any instructor would ignore current treatment recommendations. Even worse is not teaching the nurse to "think" about the risks/benefits of their

  23. free cna course

    Noryn replied to kelster40's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    replied to wrong post

  24. Reposting Tonsilectomy question...

    Noryn replied to smstar1996's topic in General Nursing

    No I don't agree. But it depends on the exact way the question was written. Aspirin "poisoned" indicates to me that the patient has developed toxicity in which case charcoal may very well not be...

  25. Reposting Tonsilectomy question...

    Noryn replied to smstar1996's topic in General Nursing

    Overall it is just a really unfair question that is one of the most controversial topics in toxicology at the moment. The question indicates that charcoal is routinely given when it should not be...
