   As far as I know, you can substitute the serum CO2 for the bicarb value. At least that was how they did it at Mass General. Here's a little excerpt from the above mentioned link: Most hospitalized patients have at least one bicarbonate measureme...

4. Bonuses

   MTM replied to MTM's topic in Travel

   Aren't all bonuses paid for by the hospital? As I understand it, the hospital buys a contract from the travel company for a specific sum of money. The travel company in turn pays us and also makes a profit. Doesn't it make more sense that the trav...

   MTM replied to blucas's topic in CRNA

   I'm looking into the program at TWU; I understand that they accept 125 students for the first year, then the students branch out to the various clinical sites. Do you know how the classes are organized? How many students in a classroom? I've heard...

   Sounds like your right, although is looks like the CVP insertion could be simulated and S.G. insertion optional...Maybe I did get some misinformation from the student I spoke with. She didn't mention anything about a-line insertion, but it sounds li...

9. inserting invasive lines in school

   MTM replied to MTM's topic in CRNA

   I totally agree with your opinions. I just don't understand why some schools don't prepare their students to practice anesthesia to their fullest capacity. Any thoughts? The school I was considering is very affordable, but now I must weigh this wi...

10. inserting invasive lines in school

    MTM replied to MTM's topic in CRNA

    From your responses it sounds like you prefer full scope practice to a limited practice. Why do you prefer this? If I graduate from CRNA school without having learned the full scope of practice, would I be considered a less capable CRNA? It seems ...

11. inserting invasive lines in school

    MTM posted a topic in CRNA

    I am looking into a anesthesia school that does not provide students with opportunities to put in invasive lines i.e. central lines, a-lines, swans. Is this a disadvantage or is it not that important? I know that other programs do provide these opp...

12. selecting a school- with or without MDA residency

    MTM posted a topic in CRNA

    Can anyone explain the advantages/disadvantages in CRNA schools with and without a residency program? It's my understanding that a benefit of going to a school without a MDA residency program is that there is no competition for cases. On the otherh...
