   HERE I AM, NCGIRL-----CRNA!!!! :clown: :roll I also love typing that. I was loving every second of signing charts today with that little change of a letter. I can't believe it, it's honestly truly completely over! I finally have my life back...

   hey charles thor, I took it the same day, no word yet. my classmates that have heard have all taken 2 1/2 to 3 weeks.

3. GRNA with time running out

   NCgirl replied to TravisMcgee's topic in CRNA

   IT SUCKED!!! Obviously, I can't say much since the council on certification will come after me. I will just say that if they think they can determine in 90 questions if I'm competent, then it would be nice if they'd ask me anesthesia specific quest...

5. GRNA with time running out

   NCgirl replied to TravisMcgee's topic in CRNA

   I've been studying Valley, 1/28 is my day for the little quizzie. I'm scared to death, b/c there's no way I can study anymore if I have to retake this exam. I'm ready to be done!!!

6. Is it legal/ethical for preceptor to sabotage student?

   NCgirl replied to Roland's topic in Relations

   Roland, I believe you. I wonder if this is my old unit. There was an experience nurse who was best friends with the manager. She did things like unhooking chest tubes from suction, and moving the level of your pressure transducer, among others. S...

7. ICU - Should I stay or go?

   NCgirl replied to OahuRN's topic in General Nursing

   Hmmm, your unit almost sounds like anesthesia school at times. There are a million right ways to do something, you have to act a certain way to survive, and it can certainly be disorganized. However, with that said, this doesn't sound like a unit t...

   NCgirl posted a topic in CRNA

   Well, I know I can't be one of the only ones on here finishing anesthesia school this month! It's OVER, finally OVER!!! I'm am so excited, but will be even happier after I pass that little quizzie they force us all to take after graduation. What d...

9. CRNA and personal life

   NCgirl replied to Dreamweaver2be's topic in SRNA

   Hey there. I think being a CRNA can be great with a family, as long as you find the right job. My hospital has over 70 anesthetists, who all do different kind of schedules. It comes out every quarter, and you can change what you work every three m...

12. Clinical - Induction Sequence and Ventilation

    NCgirl replied to charles-thor's topic in CRNA

    Same here, ventilate unless RSI. If I tube on Sux, a couple of breaths then go. If tubing on Roc, I turn on some sevo and ventilate until I feel the bag change compliance. If I'm not ventilating, I first reposition my hand and then mask. If that ...

13. info needed from current crna's, please....Is it boring????

    NCgirl replied to tamm1's topic in CRNA

    Go to sleep- That was so rude. Tamm1 was simply stating what they had been told. The problem here is the ignorant nurses who made the statements, not the curious nurse who had the sense to ask around and find out the truth. Cut tamm1 some slack!

    NCgirl replied to Hellllllo Nurse's topic in Hospice

    Thank you for that, it brought tears ro my eyes.

15. Katrina's Effect on CRNA programs in LA

    NCgirl replied to Roc_On's topic in CRNA

    I was wondering about that as well. As if us anesthesia students don't have enough to stress about, your home gets destroyed, and you're forced to relocate your family during school. My prayers goes out to all the students on the gulf coast!!!
