   misha12 posted a topic in SRNA

   To all CRNAs or SRNAs out there, PLEASE give me your opinion to help me choose my first job. I have been offered a position in a CICU in a large teaching hospital which has a CTICU that does the open heart post-ops. So, the CICU takes the medical cas...

   misha12 replied to misha12's topic in NP

   hahaha zenman.... too clever!! BCgradnurse: what have you done in those types of situations? do you try to attract someone's attention who you work with or de-escalate by yourself? i just don't want the type of situation where a patient ends up stal...

   misha12 posted a topic in NP

   title pretty much says it all, for anyone in an outpatient practice, have you ever seriously felt endangered by a patient or had an issue occur where a patient threatened or did something negative towards you? thanks for your replies!

5. radiation exposure

   misha12 replied to misha12's topic in SRNA

   Thanks both of you for replying! That is scary that the x-ray techs aren't really giving you the option of protection... do your dosimeters always record "safe" levels??

6. radiation exposure

   misha12 posted a topic in SRNA

   I have shadowed a CRNA on two different occasions and neither of those have involved surgeries that used x-ray / fluoro. I had never really even thought about that as a job hazard (I know lead suits / shields are used when necessary). Can any CRNAs o...

   Carachel - can you tell me a bit about the rn's role in cardiac rehab / schedule / any way to move up in the field?

9. Scheduling flexibility

   misha12 replied to misha12's topic in CRNA

   Wtbcrna, as you can see, I posted about CNM in January. That was a fleeting thought after my OB rotation and I have since decided it is not for me. I have been interested in anesthesia since I was a sophomore in high school. I see no harm in asking a...

    haha @ RN 543, thanks, and good luck with your own career!! srna: thank you, i'm getting the idea if you work in a hospital you can pretty much work any time of day/week? that's very nice!

11. Scheduling flexibility

    misha12 replied to misha12's topic in CRNA

    Thank you all very much for your replies. I meant to be asking about flexibility while working specifically as a CRNA, not as an RN in the time preceding schooling for a CRNA. That is how I got the idea of CRNAs doing 24 hour shifts... not staff nurs...

12. FNP hours

    misha12 replied to misha12's topic in NP

    Thank you all! I just get worried when I read stories of "yes you can work in a clinic, but your hours slowly grow later and later". It's good to see it doesn't have to be that way! Carachel - thanks for pointing out that it can be even more hectic r...

14. Scheduling flexibility

    misha12 posted a topic in CRNA

    Hello everyone, I want to start this post by saying that I have seen other threads where people asked about how to make most convenient scheduling, and basically got berated by posters saying that you will have to take nights, calls, weekends. I und...

15. FNP hours

    misha12 posted a topic in NP

    Hello everyone! I am going to be honest and put it bluntly: I am a neurotic freak about trying to plan things in my life! I am soon to finish my bachelor's degree in nursing, and considering which specialties I am interested in. I am very attracted t...
