4. CRNA v/s anesthesia resident in OR

   rn29306 replied to cheat25's topic in SRNA

   I totally agree. Why would you want to compete with residents? Its just asking for trouble and mismanagement. You would serve yourself well during school and later on in life by going to a non-competition school. And before anyone blows up at me tha...

    Common misnomer about egg allergies and propofol....People see that propofol is made "from eggs" and simply make their own assumptions without further investigating. Straight from Morgan and Mikhail: A history of egg allergy does not necessarily co...
