  1. Huntington Starting Pay

    Noryn replied to djc1981's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah about 3 years ago I was looking for a job. I think I was offered around 19.00 hour (not a new grad) in Hurricane and had a job offer at a Huntington hospital at 24.25 an hour I think. That...

  2. 90 days and then what???

    Noryn replied to barefootlady's topic in General Nursing

    I always remember one quote from a former co worker, "when has a state agency shut another state agency down?" I have heard conditions there are horrid. Based on what I have read, I feel it is a...

    Noryn replied to loopingrace's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I havent worked in patient care now for years so I am really rusty. This is a tough one, I am wondering if you guys just didnt catch him on the tail end of him compensating and finally his body gave...

  7. digital stimulation!!!

    Noryn replied to rxrn's topic in Rehabilitation

    Anytime there is a major loss whether it is a loved one or loss of function there can be a wide range of emotions--anger, depression, denial, etc. I really never felt that all of my patients had...

  8. digital stimulation!!!

    Noryn replied to rxrn's topic in Rehabilitation

    My main point is that you are defining and using a term that is highly offensive and gives the implication of a personality disorder exclusive to patients who are quadriplegics. Furthermore, this...

  9. digital stimulation!!!

    Noryn replied to rxrn's topic in Rehabilitation

    I am not trying to be difficult but I am having a hard time understanding why no one else sees that there is a problem with this. That concept is bogus. It is a false generalization. That is a...

  10. New Nurse On Transtional Nursing Floor

    Noryn replied to laronda134's topic in Rehabilitation

    If you have long term care experience you should be fine on a transitional care floor. Med surg is up to you, some have the opinion that everyone needs at least a year of this but in recent years I...

  11. digital stimulation!!!

    Noryn replied to rxrn's topic in Rehabilitation

    I did read the posts before they were edited. Again I did not see any personal attacks. I did see views that were challenged. I guess what is so frustrating is that few are seeing how offensive...

  12. digital stimulation!!!

    Noryn replied to rxrn's topic in Rehabilitation

    Establishing the importance of routine bowel care was one my main goals. I still feel that many healthcare providers fail to realize the importance of this in patients with SCI. It is obvious by...

  13. digital stimulation!!!

    Noryn replied to rxrn's topic in Rehabilitation

    I want to make one more observation. I know there are hurt feelings but I truly do not believe that was the intention. Constipation or impaction is a horrible thing for patients with spinal cord...

  14. digital stimulation!!!

    Noryn replied to rxrn's topic in Rehabilitation

    I too disagree with the generalizations but I also want to focus on the situation the op was describing. I think there is a lot of learning that can come from this thread. I personally had little if...

  15. Nubain Problems in chronic pain pts

    Noryn replied to HollymedicRN's topic in Cardiac

    As the above poster stated it will cause immediate withdrawal because it also has antagonistic properties. If someone is on an opiate then this should not be

  16. Marshall University class hours?

    Noryn replied to redhead_NURSE98!'s topic in General Nursing

    You should probably call admissions and ask. Generally in our state I have not really heard of evening programs. I would bet you need to keep your days open. Plan on working weekends, and...

  17. "no further hospitilization" order

    Noryn replied to ktwlpn's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    My state which is WV has done a wonderful job with advance directives. Here is our official POST form http://www.hsc.wvu.edu/chel/wvi/_pdf/POST_Form_2006_Sample.pdf It specifically mentions what the...

    It has been a long time. In the mid 90s in southern West Virginia the starting wage was around 9.00 /hr for a new

  20. hippa violation with teen mother

    Noryn replied to love for nursing's topic in Ob/Gyn

    HIPAA is kind of unique in that it is a federal mandate but does defer to state law in this instance so it would depend on the state you live in. I think most people are jumping the gun here by saying...

  21. Fired within hours of being hired

    Noryn replied to NurseNature's topic in General Nursing

    The same thing has happened to me multiple times in the past. I cannot understand it either, its just crazy. About 5 years ago, I had to leave and come back at one place, at another they sent you to...

  22. Nursing Student Uniforms!

    Noryn replied to surgtech2rn's topic in General Nursing

    It has been over 10 years for me but I remember people saying, "I dont know how young people make it now" when I was in college. I have gotten so old in the past 10 years but I truly have that same...

    Not sure if any of you caught the Ghost Hunters episode but one of our old West Virginia hospitals was on it about 2 weeks ago. My wife also booked tickets to go there in June for a ghost watch or...

  25. State required sexual aide for longterm care resident.

    Noryn replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Ok so if she had dementia, then she would know what a vibrator is and what it is used for? I just dont see how she would distinguish this from any other
