  1. Hemoglobin level

    Most likely surgical blood loss and hemodulation. Also, lots of patients develop anemia during a hospital stay. One thing to remember with anemia is that there are only three general causes: loss (or dysfunction) of rbcs, decreased production of new ...
  2. ICU Requirement: LTAC ICU

    The Tele position would be best in my opinion. I don't believe any school would accept l tach experience.
  3. Where are the new grads in ICU?

    I had no trouble getting in to the icu straight out of school. They only had two requirements when hiring new grads. You had to have cna/pca/tech experience and have some type of critical care exposure in school. I know that both of the big hospital...
  4. St Marys Un iversity CRNA 2013?

    U RN ICU, I'm number one and unfortunately haven't heard anything yet. I'll keep you posted if I do.
  5. St Marys Un iversity CRNA 2013?

    I'm waitlisted. How long did they give you guys to accept the spot?
  6. St Marys Un iversity CRNA 2013?

    Has anyone heard anything yet? I figured that we would know by now.

  9. Agreed. I'm in an area with a supposedly bad job market and I got one of the first jobs I applied to.
  10. Reference book for new grad in the ICU

    Agreed. I bought the ICUfaqs book and its pretty awesome. Very readable.

    LoL, sorry just reread your post. But yes, they are awesome.
  12. UW Oshkosh Online Accelerated Program - May 2011

    Hi Kimberly, In your phone interview, stress the completion of your pre-reqs. They do consider this a factor in your candidacy. Also, whoever told you that UW-O doesn't help with financial aid couldn't be more wrong. The financial aid office has an...
  13. UW Oshkosh Online Accelerated Program - May 2011

    A little primer for the phone interview.... Its focused on what you know about the program to see if you know what you are getting yourself into. They'll ask if you have the financial part squared away, how comfortable you are with technology, if y...
  14. ? about 12 lead ekg i've been wondering about

    This link describes the vector thing way better. I'm a pretty bad teacher :) http://www.cvphysiology.com/Arrhythmias/A015.htm This is really good also. It explains pretty much everything else. http://www.cvphysiology.com/Arrhythmias/A014.htm
  15. ? about 12 lead ekg i've been wondering about

    It has to do with the orientation of V1-V4 to the left side of the heart. Look at the pattern of the QRS complexes, V1-V3 are predominantly downward deflections because the sum of the depolarization wave is moving away from the positive lead (becaus...
