  1. Case study in APA format

    Noryn posted a topic in General Students

    I need to insert a case study/example in my APA paper but cannot find good descriptions or examples on how to do this. Can anyone help or point me in the right direction? Do I just make it a separate...

  2. Dental Cleanings in Long Term Care

    Noryn replied to missjennmb's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Unless sedation is being used, I have no idea how a dentist or hygienist can adequately clean or do most dental work on a demented patient. Not to mention the risks to the

  3. Do nurses know everything they learned in NS cold turkey?

    Noryn replied to whiteoleander5's topic in General Students

    No. You will adapt to your specialty and gain even more knowledge in that area of nursing. What you find is you will gradually lose most knowledge if you do not actively use it, what information you...

  4. Huntington Area Tuition Reimbursement

    Noryn replied to djc1981's topic in General Nursing

    When I interviewed at St. Mary's I was told they did offer tuition

  5. Zofran ODT in kids

    Noryn replied to bjaeram's topic in Emergency

    Food "poisoning" is an infectious process. I agree that Zofran should not be used routinely for gastrointestinal illness, most cases are self limiting--vomiting for 8-12 hours then symptoms begin to...

  6. Finally, employment outlook bright for WV

    Noryn replied to barefootlady's topic in General Nursing

    WV is doing great for the most part. My area continues to grow by leaps and bounds and I think it is mainly due to our coal and natural gas industry. But I also remember the 80s when so many mines...

  7. Princeton Community and area

    Noryn replied to barefootlady's topic in General Nursing

    I haven't been there in more than 10 years. I was hired there out of nursing school but the drive was just too far. I only did 2 shifts in college but I loved it. It was very clean and the staff...

  8. Okay, so I know this question gets tiring...

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

    Get the ADN. In 2 years you will be making nice money and stability. Then you can enroll in a RN-BSN or even better a RN-MSN program. Many hospitals will pay for you to continue your education as...

  9. Hand Sanitizer Damaging to Rings?

    Noryn replied to April, RN's topic in General Nursing

    It shouldnt damage gold or silver. Purell has a faq on their website I

  10. Options for Nurses who HATE nursing.

    Noryn replied to PopeJane3rd's topic in General Nursing

    I am not sure that those jobs are better in the sense of pay or hours. The basic resp therapist or rad tech started out about 2-3 dollars less an hour at my old hospital. They also have to work...

  11. 3p-3a

    Noryn replied to emtb2rn's topic in General Nursing

    It is a bit of a quirky shift but I used to work 2 pm-2 am and loved it. It wasn't too late and I could sleep

  12. Any info on St Mary's (Huntington) ED?

    Noryn replied to cpnegrad07's topic in General Nursing

    I was offered a job there a few years ago and a lot of times I kick myself for not taking it. Very nice hospital. I really don't think you can go wrong at either Huntington hospital to be honest. I...

  14. Transferring to ER from CCU/ICU....

    Noryn replied to neko11111's topic in Emergency

    I went from a nursing home (1 year) to an intensive care unit (2 years) then to an ER. I always kid that going from ICU to ER was a much bigger challenge than nursing home to ICU. In ICU you are...

  15. heh.. i need a girlfriend apparently.

    Noryn replied to NursingIs4CoolPeople's topic in General Students

    I think sometimes you can read too much into comments. There are advantages to being in a relationship. Overall, I have bad memories of my first year or nursing school but my second year was one of...

  16. How do you feel about wearing the nursing caps for pinning?

    Noryn replied to MnemonicFanatic's topic in General Students

    I think it is an outdated tradition to be honest. I graduated 10+ years ago and we did not have a pinning ceremony. I think the caps should be optional for the ones who want to wear them

    Noryn replied to chaotic's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I agree. It was your habit that caused the problem. If anything you put this friend in a very bad position. That being said, there are plenty of success stories. No reason you cannot be one of...

  21. THC and Schizophrenia

    Noryn replied to yvonne1's topic in General Students

    There was a study a year or so ago that led researchers to think marijuana does cause psychosis as it doubled the risk. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/4305783.stm Critics of this study will say...

  22. HIPAA Violation???

    Noryn replied to flashpoint's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think I explained it well. Demographic data including age is IDENTIFIABLE health information but not considered protected health

  23. HIPAA Violation???

    Noryn replied to flashpoint's topic in General Nursing

    See but it isnt clear to me either. Here is what I found on the website "6) INDIVIDUALLY IDENTIFIABLE HEALTH INFORMATION.--The term 'individually identifiable health information' means any...

  24. HIPAA Violation???

    Noryn replied to flashpoint's topic in General Nursing

    The more I think about it, the more I do not think it is an actual HIPAA violation. Age as well as address is generally public record. Stating that this patient was a resident could be close to...

  25. HIPAA Violation???

    Noryn replied to flashpoint's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know if age is considered protected health information. http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/AdminSimpRegText.pdf "Health information means any information, whether oral or recorded in any form or medium,...
