   Laban posted a topic in SRNA

   Hello, Am a SRNA in the PA. I will graduate in may 2010 and am considering relocating to Dallas TX. I do not know any CRNA/SRNA to hook me up. I think that Baylor and Parkland are the main hospitals in Dallas (if i am correct). I was wondering if an...

   Laban replied to saranurse's topic in MICU

   All flashes and flash bags normal saline. We only use heparin when ordered specifically. Post CABG patients with heparin bag hanging, it is immediately switched to saline.

   Laban replied to tigermonkey's topic in CCU

   Do I work with you tigermonkey? I work in Post open heart unit with similar patient population. Apart from the post operative orders that cover a wide array of medication that can be used, we have unit protocols (with more leeway) that allow us to ma...

5. Advice needed re:career (sorry long)

   Laban replied to RNforhire07's topic in MICU

   It is unfortunate that such incidents happen. I have worked in long term care, med-surge and now ICU. I agree with you and the rest that giving both drugs should not lead to termination. Since you mentioned that you live in a small town, have you c...

   Laban replied to Apple30's topic in SRNA

   I agree with the above. Not all schools accept ER experience hence limiting the number of schools you can apply to.

8. Should I retake these classes

   Laban replied to BSN 2008's topic in SRNA

   If the CRNA program you intend to apply to require those classes as prerequisites, then definitely retake them. If not, then work on the overall presentation which looks good in my view (overall GPA > 3.5). You may also choose to retake them to be...

9. I got accepted, but I'm confused

   Laban replied to Burnt2's topic in SRNA

   My take is that you have been accepted. I highly suugest you give the school a call and ask all the questions you may have. They will clarify much better that we can speculate. Congradulations.

10. CRNA Prerequisites

    Laban replied to Perseus Mandate's topic in SRNA

    My suggestion is going for BSN. That way your choice of schools for anesthesia won't be limited. If electives don't cover all the pre-med sciences during the course of the BSN, pick a science minor (or major if you feel like it) that will cover all o...
