  1. Universal Health Care... what would this mean...

    Noryn replied to nurseyNJNYC's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Most accurate statement I have ever

  2. Universal Health Care... what would this mean...

    Noryn replied to nurseyNJNYC's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I fully think that for universal healthcare to work there has to be a higher priority placed on daily health. 10 percent may not seem like much compared to 90 percent but it really adds up. Take...

  3. digital stimulation!!!

    Noryn replied to rxrn's topic in Rehabilitation

    I dont know what his issue is. It may be his bowel program is not right. He may have a fear of constipation, it may cause him to go into AD I dunno. But a bowel program for a quad or para should...

  4. Cardiac question???

    Noryn replied to Nicky30's topic in General Nursing

    Ultimately you have to avoid getting hung up on numbers. A lot of the times they dont mean a whole lot. The more important thing is how is the patient doing. Not only with cardiac but almost with...

  5. Neuro ICU - Withdrawl of life support...is this so wrong?

    Noryn replied to Nacki's topic in Neuro Intensive Care, ICU

    My personal opinion is that you did nothing wrong however my professional opinion (and that is all it is) is that it likely could be construed as active euthanasia. I am not sure that Diprivan is...

  6. Patients on Medicaid

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

    I really dont feel I am missing the point. My point is this. Medicaid is much better than what many people have. It isnt perfect but still pretty dang good and as I have posted it will protect you...

  7. Weight Loss Medications

    Noryn replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    RN1989 is dead on. It cannot be solved long term by a pill. Many OTC diet pills contain either caffeine or a form of it so yeah it can cause palpitations. The root cause has to be fixed and that is...

  8. Pornographic movies

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

    I think the big difference is legal vs illegal activities. Adult movies are legal. Child Media or illicit drugs are illegal thus would not be

  9. Patients on Medicaid

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

    I have decent insurance, again I would honestly trade my card for it though. Medicaid is really nice if you have huge hospital bills. Would a person on Medicaid have to pay 10,000 dollars of a...

  10. Patients on Medicaid

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

    My honest opinion is this. How much does a Medicaid card cost to the actual person (not society or the tax payer)? You mean it is free? How much is the co pay for an ER visit? There isnt one?...

  11. Lowest Passage Rate in all 50 States for Nurses

    Noryn replied to barefootlady's topic in General Nursing

    I havent read the Gazette yet today because I like to read it at work to help pass time some days--yes I suck. They are actually rehashing a story that they reported on 2 weeks ago....

  12. Does this scare anyone but me?!?!?!?!?

    Noryn replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    A bit off topic but shouldnt Toradol gain miracle drug status. You would not believe the patients that suddenly are able to walk out of the ER after being told the doctor only ordered

  13. Doctor Practices that Dump Patients

    Noryn replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Medicare historically has not been so bad. As a matter of fact years ago Medicare paid enough to make a healthy profit to cover losses from Medicaid. About 10 years ago though Medicare really began...

  14. How do you feel about New Grad RNs in LTC?

    Noryn replied to BonnieSc's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Any job is what you make out of it. No nursing speciality requires more "skills" than another. Learning about the normal aging process in adults can be every bit as challenging as learning critical...

  15. i gotta ?~

    Noryn replied to nghtfltguy's topic in General Nursing

    If they charted "the equipment was not working properly" then perhaps that could be an issue. As the above poster said, only document facts. ie "pt found in floor with no clothing, personal alarm...

  16. Does this scare anyone but me?!?!?!?!?

    Noryn replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    In the ER I used to work at weapons were not allowed. I dont know the exact circumstances, if he was strapped to a board after being in a MVA I would have taken the knife and told him he could have...

  17. LPN students have to give bed bath to classmates

    Noryn replied to vina2550's topic in General Students

    I personally think it is ridiculous and see no benefit in it even after reading the posts. Mannequins in my opinion serve the purpose well enough for bathing. Otherwise it really just opens up a can...

  18. Doctor Practices that Dump Patients

    Noryn replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I am trying to stay on topic but I know the doctor in this article. Very good man. Probably the best doctor I know....

  19. Doctor Practices that Dump Patients

    Noryn replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    No I definitely agree. What is that statistic--that you work until May (it is not entirely accurate) just to pay taxes each year. That time is what I consider my volunteer time. I paid around...

  20. Doctor Practices that Dump Patients

    Noryn replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    See that is the problem. We can talk about ethical decisions all day long but one thing is certain if you dont pay your electric bill the power goes goodbye. Same thing with your staff. I would...

  21. Doctor Practices that Dump Patients

    Noryn replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I honestly dont think it is resentment of the patients. Difficult patients come from everywhere, rich, poor, etc. It is part of the job. The problem is the excessive paper work amd regulations that...

  22. Doctor Practices that Dump Patients

    Noryn replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Probably the doctor's offices who dont have bills to

  23. Doctor Practices that Dump Patients

    Noryn replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I dont think what you are describing is that common to where patients are getting fired often. From my experience it is relatively rare although I have seen a few people who were fired from their...

  24. ADN or BSN easier to land a job?

    Noryn replied to soon2be's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    All things equal probably a BSN would be more attractive BUT things are never equal. Quality of school, previous experience, references are probably more

  25. Neuro ICU - Withdrawl of life support...is this so wrong?

    Noryn replied to Nacki's topic in Neuro Intensive Care, ICU

    I tend to agree with your charge nurse and supervisor. Mainly due to the approved usage of Diprivan--generally either induction or maintenance of anesthesia along with sedation of an intubated...
