1. Scared to mention even the slightest interest in CRNA progams?

   bucknangler replied to blondielocks's topic in SRNA

   Who cares about what other people think. A few years ago I stood in front of my nursing class and told the class I was going to be a crna. The haters were among the group, same response within my ICU family, and from this board a time or two. They al...

2. 1460 on GRE and not accepted?

   bucknangler replied to sandmanwife's topic in SRNA

   I wouldn't appeal it only because CRNA schools are very stubborn. You don't want to make a bad name for yourself next year. Believe it or not, you might be surprised to know the references one uses could be the very reason you don't get in...people ...

5. UAB Fall 2010

   bucknangler replied to bucknangler's topic in SRNA

   UAB is a no for me....The Mobile Component only accepted 2 students! Ouch! And may not even take students next year out of Mobile. The interview was poorly set up and they scheduled all 6 interviewees at the same time, 1515. However, the interviews d...

   bucknangler replied to backfrom10's topic in CRNA

   May I asked when did you find out about OLOL? I interviewed there as well and from what I was told, this is there last week of interviews and letters will be mailed out in the weeks to follow (Mid February). Congrats!

8. UAB Fall 2010

   bucknangler replied to bucknangler's topic in SRNA

   msrn25, are you from Mississippi? If so, where? I did not apply yet to LSU because I am still in a statistics class and have not received my final transcript from them. I also have an interview with Our Lady of the Lake next month. How was your inter...

9. UAB Fall 2010

   bucknangler replied to bucknangler's topic in SRNA

   My letter came this past Thursday. I interview January 25, 2010 in the afternoon at the Spring Hill Hospital in Mobile....in the letter, it says they will notify me within 24 hours of their decision. Very nerve-racking. I will post a follow-up of wha...

    Received this email today: "The UAB Nurse Anesthesia Program has sent out letters to all but the Mobile, Pensacola and Tuscaloosa Applicants. If you have any questions regarding your letter please call the program office at xxx-xxx-xxxxx" So ya'll k...

11. USM Gulf Coast

    bucknangler replied to Nurse2BSherry's topic in Mississippi

    That is correct, I wish I remembered the program in more depth. Basically, they will pay up to 4500 a year for two years. Then you are obligated to work in Mississippi for two years. ANY WHERE IN THE STATE! For every year they pay, you work a year in...

12. pressors and sepsis

    bucknangler replied to diosadelsol's topic in MICU

    I agree with all the above plus: The bacteria blocks the neurotransmitter sites in your cardiovascular system that control blood pressure; Levophed (norepi) infused is like throwing a handful of darts at a dartboard and hope at least one molecule of ...

    bucknangler replied to phoenixfire's topic in MICU

    "I've been told that I'm not a team player, and that people in general do not like me because I'm aggressive and independant, too focused on the details, and have 'an authoratative tone' when discussing concepts." Sounds like my first Peer eval in th...

14. How high have you titrated levophed?

    bucknangler replied to racing-mom4's topic in MICU

    Sounds like you did one hell of a job. What did the monitor show rhythm wise? Obviously you are on heparin for an acute coronary syndrome? I wonder what his EF was? Systolic or Diastolic Dysfunction? Since the cardiologist signed off, I amusing he re...

15. How high have you titrated levophed?

    bucknangler replied to racing-mom4's topic in MICU

    A routine use of Levophed is 40-100 mcg/min in some patients? WOW! Where are ya'll getting this information to validate it as policy? And if you use 150 mcg/min of norepi, what is ya'lls concentration? Our policy states a max of 30 mcg/min and if an...
