4. Withdrawal, reapplying, advice?

   aquaphone replied to aquaphone's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

   It's a complicated situation, so to simplify I'll say I withdrew because there were interpersonal problems between my program director and myself, as well as some others. It was not an academic,...

11. CVP catheter confirmation question

    aquaphone replied to aquaphone's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    That's interesting about the PICC line placement. I've seen plenty of central lines placed, but I've never personally seen a PICC line placed. In my unit (MICU/SICU) the patients would always go off...
