1. Can't contact NBCRNA

   ssrhythm posted a topic in CRNA

   Anyone else on here having problems reaching the NBCRNA or with their recertification application? I have 78.5 class A CEs and 14 ACLS/PALS credits, a rural trauma development course that was 8 hours, and several random 1 hour CEs. The AANA transfe...

2. Looking for the right partner

   ssrhythm posted a topic in CRNA

   Back when I was on here a bunch, I remember there being a job posting/heads up sub-category. I don't see that anymore, so I'll post this here. I'm looking for the right fit to be my partner. Hospital employee. Incredibly light schedule with incre...

3. Starting a pain program/clinic...

   ssrhythm posted a topic in CRNA

   Traffic on here looks incredibly low and slow, but I remember some great members offering great advice when I used to frequent this site. I am now at a very rural hospital working solo, and I see a tremendous community need for a pain clinic here. ...

4. Not sure CRNA is for me

   ssrhythm replied to Sleepygirl09's topic in CRNA

   And let me add this...where I work, we have the very best surgeons I've ever worked with. While there are three that can be a pain in the arse every once and a while, they all have tremendous respect for the anesthesia providers, RNs, Scrubs...every...

5. Not sure CRNA is for me

   ssrhythm replied to Sleepygirl09's topic in CRNA

   For those of you who have this same sentiment...how many CRNA jobs have you had? How many different regions of the country have you worked in? I ask this, because I see and know so many people who finished school and took the first open job at the ...

6. Is CRNA realistic?

   ssrhythm replied to eacu's topic in SRNA

   I was a 36 year old RRT when my wife and I committed to me becoming a CRNA. We had no children, and while we kinda wanted children, we decided to go for it and reassess when I was done. The move to where I was going to attend nursing school and the...

7. University of South Carolina CRNA Program

   ssrhythm replied to GaMommy81's topic in SRNA

   I graduated from there, but I'm not really sure about specific science requirements. If you meet their requirements...ie. you have a BSN or are and RN with a BS degree, I believe you will have your necessary prereq courses. Most nurses should have ...

8. question about to CRNA school

   ssrhythm replied to rosedale4u's topic in SRNA

   Do not plan on working or having any income from you working while attending school. You might get some people on here that will tell you that they were able to pull it off, but thinking that you can work any and thinking that you can count on any m...

9. Relocating to NC, need advice!

   ssrhythm replied to Prince815's topic in CRNA

   Good to hear that manusko. Everything I've seen and heard do not match what you are experiencing in your job. I moved to Indiana after graduating for exactly the opposite reason you want to move south! Maybe after living in the Midwest from birth ...

10. Raleigh is toxic

    ssrhythm replied to captain57's topic in CRNA

    GO COCKS! I used to live in Asheville, and being a WW Kayaker married to a beach-gal, I would love to one day return to Asheville or the OBx. As an RT at Mission back in 03-05, I went through the OR to get my required 10 facility intubations during...

11. New drug cocktails for executions....opinions?

    ssrhythm replied to traumaRUs's topic in CRNA

    10 mg versed and 250mcg fentanyl followed one minute later by 200mg propofol followed 30 seconds later by 50mg rocuronium followed 30 seconds later by 100meq KCL followed 10 minutes later by the morgue staff. Three minutes and the murderer was comfy...

12. Sugammadex Update

    ssrhythm replied to wtbcrna's topic in CRNA

    Maybe this explains why there is currently a "shortage" of glyco that our pharmacy can only get through one "black-market" type of distributor for...get this...$600.00 for a box of 20 1cc vials! There has to be some kind of law being trampled on her...

13. A new reversal for neuromuscular blockers

    ssrhythm replied to wtbcrna's topic in CRNA

    The folks who have profited from succs and glyco and neostigmine for all these years are putting their hard-earned money to good use up on the hill. Anyone who thinks otherwise has their head buried in the sand. It is all about the money!

14. LMA Package Insert Key Evidence In Anesthesia Malpractice Case

    ssrhythm replied to wtbcrna's topic in CRNA

    I had become, over the last year, a little more open to putting an LMA in slightly obese patients and pts with well controlled DM, but one of our general surgeons told me about a CRNA here years back that had an obese diabetic aspirate and later die ...

15. NBCRNA and the AANA... WOW!

    ssrhythm replied to ruler of kolob's topic in CRNA

    Good Goob! Seriously?! There has to be a better and more direct way of preventing the over-production of CRNAs. I know My school, USC SOM adjusts their class sizes according to demand. Maybe we should figure out a way to keep schools from trying to m...
