  1. Grades

    As it's been said over and over again... It's the whole picture. Experience, attitude, leadership, certifications, GPA, GRE, type of unit, communication skills, etc etc etc. But your GPA is fine if you want this specific question answered. Good luc...
  2. It's 1mg/min x 6 hrs followed by 0.5. Not mg/kg/min. Weight based is 0.8mcg/kg/min usually and thats typically a more aggressive dose.
  3. York College CRNA Program

    I was recently accepted. Unfortunately I can't speak from experience other then talking with current students and faculty, but they pride themselves in how they prepare their students to practice independently in all settings. TONS of lines, epidura...
  4. AACN Membership/CCRN

    Haha! I love this. Thanks all. CCRN-CSC-CMC..... sorry but you are all expiring in 1.5 years.
  5. AACN Membership/CCRN

    Any reason to maintain AACN membership or keep up with CCRN and other certs as an SRNA/CRNA?
  6. I got in this week and I've told everyone including my manager. 9 months until the start of the program. She wrote me a letter of rec so she knows I applied. Fortunately I have a good relationship with those I work with. We've had several RN's go to ...
  7. 1.5 cc air in, 1.5 cc air out... How can there be any residual air if the syringe passively fills back up to the 1.5 cc mark?
  8. Acidotic Questions

    That's what I meant. I see I accidentally said supply greater then demand in code in my first post.
  9. CRNA GPA

    Oh and a grad level patho or pharm course wouldn't hurt! That's what I took to show my academic abilities NOW.
  10. CRNA GPA

    I got in with 3.1. High acuity CVICU, great GRE score, committees, charge nurse, CCRN-CSC-CMC... I'm a lot more mature then when I was 18-19 and they get that. Just keep moving forward towards your dreams. Make the grades happen now and own up to you...
  11. We do therapeutic hypothermia quite a bit in our unit. We mostly do it on out of hospital WITNESSED arrests. Those that were unwittnessed have had little success because no one knows how long the patient was down before resuscitation efforts were sta...
  12. Non-nursing major to CRNA vs. Pre-Med

    What do you want to DO? You shouldn't pick a track because its easier/cheaper/faster. If you want to be a CRNA, get your BSN and get into a critical care area. If you want to do anesthesia without going to nursing school, go the premed route and app...
  13. CRNA Science Prerequisites

    My problem is I only have the one "nursing" chemistry that my school required of me. I wasn't planning on ever going back to school. I've already started applying and I've had a couple "not this year"s and an interview invite. Obviously if all goes ...
  14. Does it matter which school I get BSN from to get into ICU?

    truly it comes down to who you know and making connections. ask to shadow in various units and find opportunities to talk with managers.
  15. Puzzled... Pulseless VTac to v-fib but no shock?

    Exactly, you need to speak up when things aren't being done correctly, MD's make mistakes too even though they might disagree.
