1. CRNA vs. MDA - pros and cons

   jdpete replied to daitheflu's topic in CRNA

   that was quite honestly the biggest bunch of bull**** ever composed---an MDA staying in-house is incomprehensible, much less staying to do "paperwork"---while I go off in a sportscar leaving in the evening hours? I will never read here again if this...

2. When things go wrong

   jdpete replied to 4amcoffee's topic in CRNA

   I wouldnt classify a pt "moving" on incision a complication---have to agree here staff, people posting here should have more knowledge about the subject, but I guess that is where others have to speak up---

4. help going crazy

   jdpete replied to SSPSU93's topic in CRNA

   more than likely you are in good shape because if you fail, it seems they get it back to you real quick to get you in the process again---also, you took ninety which means you are at the bare minimum and more than likely passed unless you bombed it--...

6. cell saver and ebl

   jdpete posted a topic in CRNA

   what is the ebl with cell saver? I had always heard to estimate the blood loss as three times what you gave back---so if you give 500cc back, the ebl is 1500cc--is this the same as you learned, if so can someone provide a link--- thanks

9. opinions

   jdpete replied to confusionabounds's topic in CRNA

   Yeah, Yeah---you are missing my point---if you look at original post, he asked what to give to increase BP, drug A or B----I am not saying that this is bad, to look at all angles, but that wasn't his question---they didn't ask how to increase the BP ...

10. opinions

    jdpete replied to confusionabounds's topic in CRNA

    the thread side tracked though---basically he was asking the question between the two drugs---that's why the fluid blah, blah, blah quote----without getting into all the questions asked, between the two drugs, neo is the choice---besides, if you are ...

    jdpete replied to confusionabounds's topic in CRNA

    Neo is what I would use as well, one thing, it just seems that giving just ephedrine never brings the pressure up good by itself when they are beta blocked----I also sometimes give 50-100 mcg of Neo and at the same time give 5-10 mg of Ephedrine plus...

14. Group vs Hospital - Which is the best employer?

    jdpete replied to jwk's topic in CRNA

    I think hospitals can be good as well-----my "group" is getting way behind on contributions with retirement, they only give 3% matching and ***** about everything from our salaries to our malpractice payments----not sure where you are looking at trau...

    jdpete replied to SCmomof3's topic in CRNA
