  1. reportable cases in the ER

    Noryn replied to b eyes's topic in Emergency

    HIPAA defers to state law in regards to this situation. http://www.hhs.gov/hipaafaq/permitted/law/505.html To report PHI to law enforcement when required by law to do so (45 CFR 164.512(f)(1)(i)). For...

  2. Reposting Tonsilectomy question...

    Noryn replied to smstar1996's topic in General Nursing

    fever along with seizures absolutely can be seen with aspirin toxicity. be careful with internet sites. if that was the entire question (and those were the 2 best answers) then it was a very poor...

  3. Has any MUSLIM registered nurse encounter some discrimination in the US/Canada?

    Noryn replied to cocoy2go's topic in International Nursing

    I agree. It really depends on the area in the US that you are in but there are still some misconceptions (and bad feelings) toward Muslims. Not trying to make this political but one presidential...

  4. started at VA

    Noryn replied to edchunt's topic in General Nursing

    I kind of wish I had stayed in the Beckley area and got on at their VA. The big thing about the VAs are you never hear a nurse say, "I worked there for 10 years and finally had enough." Come to...

  5. Any WV nurses with input on University of Phoenix?

    Noryn replied to bluelorelai's topic in General Nursing

    I am glad to hear that. The Huntington hospitals are great. Each class at WVU (3 hours) costs about 800 dollars so it probably would be quite a bit

  6. Mountain State University Nursing program?

    Noryn replied to tronix304's topic in General Nursing

    Don't get me wrong, I attended Mountain State back in the 90s taking general classes. I really loved it. The instructors were great and to be honest the general classes were relatively easy. But...

  7. Any WV nurses with input on University of Phoenix?

    Noryn replied to bluelorelai's topic in General Nursing

    I have not heard anything good at all. The biggest complaint I think is cost. I am in WVU's RN-BSN program. It is based out of Charleston but completely

  8. Non-detectable street drugs?

    Noryn replied to Pat_Pat RN's topic in General Nursing

    No more truthful statement can be made. They are limited and most of the time do not help you in treatment of the patient. Plus they are often plagued with false positives. LSD will show up in serum...

  9. Ativan...ETOH History...7mg IV last night? Too much?

    Noryn replied to Jomo1994z71's topic in Patient Medications

    Nowhere near too much. That nurse was either playing with you or doesnt know what he/she is talking about. The ones who dont have a clue sometimes are the ones who criticize the most....way Now if...

  10. Time effectiveness of NaHCo3 in TCA od?

    Noryn replied to NecosMom's topic in General Nursing

    That is a pretty vague question and scenario. Kind of like saying how long will it take bicarb to correct acidosis--It depends on how progressive the symptoms are. For instance if you have a ph of...

  11. Rn definitely, NP maybe????

    Noryn replied to sconoli's topic in General Nursing

    WVU offers this program. Not sure if they offer anything near Fairmont. Your best bet would be to gain employment as a RN and many hospitals will pay for your

  12. Digoxin Error, How should it be handled? Worried for a Pt.

    Noryn replied to WVStarFish's topic in General Nursing

    You should get the patient's chart and check the actual doctor's order. Was it a transcription omission or error vs a pharmacy error. If you are giving medication then in all likelihood you did at...

  13. Wanting To Go To Lpn School

    Noryn replied to Lorrie1964's topic in General Nursing

    You have to be careful with MA programs. Don't pay too much, some places will charge you a arm and a leg. I am not familiar with any programs up there though. We dont have a lot of posters here...

  14. Wanting To Go To Lpn School

    Noryn replied to Lorrie1964's topic in General Nursing

    I really dont think there is that large of a shortage of LPNs in our state. So many hospitals have quit hiring them in my area (Charleston). Nursing homes are about the only place that has a huge...

  15. Disturbed Energy Field? Yes or No?

    Noryn replied to VickyRN's topic in Holistic

    How is their life expectancy compared to

  16. Is it wrong to date your instructor after semester?

    Noryn replied to FNPdude74's topic in Male Nursing Students

    In all likelihood she could get fired for it. Not illegal, just not extremely ethical either. Colleges really look down on this sort of

  17. Tired of impaired nurses

    Noryn replied to epipusher's topic in General Nursing

    I think it really depends on the situation. If you have a nurse who was caught with marijuana or even something harmful like cocaine or crystal meth then I see no reason they couldnt return after a...

  18. This Should Make You Feel Good About How Much $$$ You Make

    Noryn replied to JoeTheNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I have heard of the huge salaries they make but also aware of mass layoffs that have plagued these jobs such as in Flint, Michigan. There is a Toyota plant near my home and they start their...

  19. Can CNA's administer IVs...

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

    I have never heard of a CNA having anything to do with starting an IV. A phlebotomist can draw blood but they would not work as a "CNA" while doing so, they would work as a

  20. Disturbed Energy Field? Yes or No?

    Noryn replied to VickyRN's topic in Holistic

    This perplexes me, my honest first impression is to roll my eyes but I am beginning to feel that we are not as advanced in our knowledge of the human body or diseases as we think we are. There is...

  21. this website....

    Noryn replied to dylansmama's topic in General Nursing

    I wish they would ban the word NCLEX. I love this site and feel it is invaluable. I am seriously considering getting back into nursing after about a 6 year break. I read this board quite often,...

  22. Input on Fresenius in WV?

    Noryn replied to bluelorelai's topic in General Nursing

    My friend is an "old dog" who had their fill of CAMC. They had actually gotten out of bedside nursing for a bit then returned and ended up at Cabell and again really like it. I would apply there but...

  23. 90 days and then what???

    Noryn replied to barefootlady's topic in General Nursing

    Great article in the daily mail about this. The same ombudsman basically gave the same report 2 years ago. No changes. Well actually there was a change--they over crowded the hospital even more....

  24. Huntington Starting Pay

    Noryn replied to djc1981's topic in General Nursing

    I have heard nothing but wonderful things about

  25. Input on Fresenius in WV?

    Noryn replied to bluelorelai's topic in General Nursing

    Take the Cabell job! I had a friend that worked for the one in Charleston and did not like it. They ended up at Cabell Huntington and state that is it the best place they have ever worked. I think...
