  1. 70 + nurse still going strong!!!

    Noryn replied to barefootlady's topic in General Nursing

    My last nursing job had a 75 year old part time nurse. She had been a nurse for over 50 years. She was a competent nurse, but she was old school in every way. Used proper words, etiquette,...

  2. How infectious is MRSA really??

    Noryn replied to Epona's topic in General Nursing

    Just remember there are different types of MRSA and you have staph on your body right now--it may even be MRSA. Community acquired does seem to be more infectious that hospital acquired MRSA. I dont...

  3. A "dating female students in your class" post

    Noryn replied to Jedi of Zen's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Ahh the memories this thread keeps bringing up. When you are young 19-20 you have almost unlimited potential, things are so much easier. Like I said I had to work and go to nursing school at that...

  4. Disrespectful Employees

    Noryn replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    Why dont you work that shift and show her how easy it is to finish up your work on time? It will only take 1 time, just have her shadow you. You will get more respect that way in my opinion....

  5. Dating co-workers

    Noryn replied to jerenemarie's topic in General Nursing

    Again the issue is dating and not sexual harassment. Perception is not absolute and the burden would remain on the employee to prove guilt. If you are in a court of law and when asked what evidence...

  6. Dating co-workers

    Noryn replied to jerenemarie's topic in General Nursing

    Dating a co worker is an entirely different subject all together than sexual harassment. The two are not related. Sure an ex could lie out of revenge but the problem would be that the ex is a liar...

  7. Dating co-workers

    Noryn replied to jerenemarie's topic in General Nursing

    I honestly cannot see how dating someone you supervise could put your license at risk. Again, in my opinion if your supervisor is dating a fellow co worker it is none of your business what they do...

  8. Dating co-workers

    Noryn replied to jerenemarie's topic in General Nursing

    After graduation I began working in a long term care facility about 10 years ago. I was one of the charge nurses and started dating a CNA on my unit. A year later we were married and are still...

  9. 17- year-old girl needs liver transplant, CIGNA denies

    Noryn replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Well I think the big question is, would this be considered "experimental" if the benefits are documented. Again, I only want this to play out in the justice system. Bring the insurance employees and...

  10. 17- year-old girl needs liver transplant, CIGNA denies

    Noryn replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I just want to see some credentials here. We have some posters saying these transplant doctors at UCLA (who are likely among the best in the world) are wrong. It is funny the insurance people claim...

  11. 17- year-old girl needs liver transplant, CIGNA denies

    Noryn replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    We pay so much in taxes that everyone should get free care. This is ridiculous to even be debating. Hopefully they will file murder charges against the insurance company like they plan (yes it will...

  12. A "dating female students in your class" post

    Noryn replied to Jedi of Zen's topic in Male Nursing Students

    It depends, typically if you put younger people together they are going to get together. My friend in nursing school made an attempt to date 2 girls--it didnt really go far but at the same time didnt...

  13. Any info on Jefferson Memorial in Ranson?

    Noryn replied to robhasty's topic in General Nursing

    No problem, if you have anymore questions let me know. I said Three Rivers but I meant King's

  14. Any info on Jefferson Memorial in Ranson?

    Noryn replied to robhasty's topic in General Nursing

    To be honest with you, from what I have heard Huntington may be one of the best places in the state to work. The wages are really good and they seem to treat their employees decent. I have a good...

  15. Any info on Jefferson Memorial in Ranson?

    Noryn replied to robhasty's topic in General Nursing

    How in the world did you pick out Ranson from across the country? I havent heard anyone on here working at Jefferson. Why are you moving to West Virginia? What are you looking for? Are there any...

  16. LPN Jobs on the increase here?

    Noryn replied to barefootlady's topic in General Nursing

    Are you talking about St. Mary's? I think that is the first time I have saw a hospital job for lpns advertised in a long time. I am a bit surprised at the shortage in the Huntington area as they...

  17. ARH strike!!!!

    Noryn replied to barefootlady's topic in General Nursing

    I think the union had approved going back to work for 90 days under the 2004 contract. That settlement was going back to when they were making the nurses work 40 hours at the same salary as the 36...

  18. New rules about going online to listen to You Tube!

    Noryn replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Brian, I have a relative idea of the security that is used. I agree that allnurses is extremely safe, in part because you do constantly apply the security patches but also because your mods are...

  19. New rules about going online to listen to You Tube!

    Noryn replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Do you fully understand what "the You Tube streams" are? So, I am at work and have some extra time, could you tell me how this "you tube stream" makes me look unprofessional?...

  20. New rules about going online to listen to You Tube!

    Noryn replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    In all honesty as long as you arent downloading the videos from youtube, going to that site is probably safer than allnurses and amazon in regards to hackers, crackers, and viruses. Maybe not so much...

  21. ARH strike!!!!

    Noryn replied to barefootlady's topic in General Nursing

    I heard them say that for a long time, almost day one. BARH claimed that the initial reason for the strike was wages and federal law allows them to hire permanent replacement workers when it is about...

  22. New rules about going online to listen to You Tube!

    Noryn replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think that is ridiculous. Why do people always think work environments have to be so strict? I always hear the same criticism, "Work is only for work." It is like they want you to become a robot...

  23. Male nurse crying!!!

    Noryn replied to ClassQ1's topic in Men in Nursing

    Would the guys in the old spice commercials cry?.........no. Therefore crying is not allowed among men.

  24. Patient is requesting PRN Xanax with PRN Ativan at the same time..Is that allowed?

    Noryn replied to Dunno?'s topic in General Nursing

    A simple call to his doctor or even pharmacist would solve the problem. There may be a reason he takes the 2 medications together even though they are in the same class. If he is taking strong pain...

  25. Tylenol, how safe is this drug

    Noryn replied to nialloh's topic in General Nursing

    I am playing with wording here but technically "Acetaminophen" is not hepatotoxic. For the most part after you overdose on it your peak level will happen within 4 hours but your symptoms of liver...
