1. Is it possible to titrate paralytics?

   SCSRNA replied to Diprivan/Vented's topic in CRNA

   That sounds about right. My info was from a "through the grapevine" type of source. Maybe since the advent of propofol, it has become the DOC for humane death. More chance of going isoelectric w/ pentathol though. Either way, why make it easier? ...

   Almost right. They use propofol and KCl. That gets the job done and, not that they need it, but makes for a more pleasent death. How kind.

3. Far From A Whiz Kid But Do You Think That Someone Who's Weakest

   SCSRNA replied to SKYSTHELIMIT's topic in CRNA

   You most certainly can make it. I'm currently in school and have found that my ICU experiences were invaluable teaching tools. And it is important that you treat them as such. Their are many hoops to jump through in anesthesia school, the bookwork...

6. Here's what AAs really think of CRNAs

   SCSRNA replied to Athlein1's topic in CRNA

   First of all, I'm agreeing w/ you. I thought $76,000 sounded like a low salary to me also. Your might call this greed, but don't be blind to the business aspect of the profession. When I was in the ICU, I was making about $15,000/yr less than the ...

7. Here's what AAs really think of CRNAs

   SCSRNA replied to Athlein1's topic in CRNA

   How about this... I worked in an ICU in ATL for 4 years prior to starting anesthesia school. When meeting with the head MD of the Anes. Dept ( an AA-friendly Anes. dept I might add) regarding a job when I got out of school, I shyed away when he offe...
