  1. RSI rapid sequence intubation question

    I would think that someone who does it everyday would know that you should not give someone 3 mg/kg of Fentanyl. I have never heard of giving 10% of your Sux dose to defasciculate....only heard of giving 10% of the intubating dose of a non-depolariz...
  2. CRNA Programs w/ Clinicals in one local area?

    The University of Cincinnati has all clinicals in the Cincinnati area, with most being at University Hospital on campus. The farthest site away from downtown is 30 minutes.
  3. propofol

    I realize that at one point you were discussing pushing epi for anaphylactic shock. However, in your post, you did not say epi, you said neo and I don't think you were still discussing anaphylactic shock because obviously, you do push epi, regardles...

  6. How helpful is Valley Review?

    The actual course may not be $1000 but by the time you pay for hotel, food, and gas....it will be right around that amount for the weekend.
  7. yes, again, to CCRN or not ?

    You need something like 1700 hours, which amounts to about 1 year of full-time work.
  8. SRNAs to Graduate Soon

    I'm with you here....our new class starts Tuesday and I feel like the second years knew so much when we started last year and now that I am a second year, I don't know anything!! Congrats to the graduates....I can't wait! Ami
  9. yes, again, to CCRN or not ?

    I agree with midwestern....I just don't see a good reason to spend that much money to recert while in school. As a poor RNSA drowning in student loan debt, I let my CCRN lapse. Now, I do think it helped me get into school so for those not already a...
  10. CRNA School Questions

    Hope this helps!
  11. Got a wild hair, would just like some information...

    Somehow this sentence didnt' end up in quotes but it is supposed to be "I never thought I would have the intelligence to do it, but I heard someone make the comment that CRNA schools basically take you if you have ICU experience and a pulse." Now,...
  12. Interesting OB Case

    Well, I haven't done OB yet (September and October of this year) but I will give it a shot. I would do a spinal (as long as the patient does not have plates/rods/screws in the lumbar region...which is doesn't sound like she does). My concerns would...
  13. Any words of wisdom welcomed.

    Yeah, you're right...six months is probably closer to being accurate! I definitely still have days when I am all thumbs and feel like I don't know what I am doing, but it is getting better each day. Of course, now I have my OB rotation coming up so...
  14. Any words of wisdom welcomed.

    Sigma, Just remember...you will feel like a total idiot and completely out of place for the first month or so. Even something as simple as starting an IV, which you may have done hundreds of times, feels totally foreign in anesthesia school. Eveyon...
  15. Peripheral Nerve Stimulator

    Brian, We have them furnished in all our rooms...whether or not they work or the batteries are current is another story I would definitely not buy one...wait until school starts and then ask a rep if you want your own. Ami
