4. Should BSNs be paid more?

   kabarnes replied to edcampbe's topic in General Nursing

9. GRE x2

   kabarnes replied to rnbeauty's topic in CRNA

   I have not taken the GRE yet, but I am not looking forward to it. I too have never been very good at standardized tests. The SAT was no fun at all, but the way I see it the GRE is challenge that can be overcome. So I would say study again try othe...

10. Is RN allowed to push anesthesia meds under direction of MD?

    kabarnes replied to strugglingstudent's topic in General Nursing

    As far as I know RNs are only supposed to titrate propofol on a IV pump while a patient is mechanically ventilated. If a patient needs propofol for conscious sedation and does not have an artificial airway an RN should definately not be pushing prop...

    kabarnes replied to icurn96's topic in CRNA

    Hi just curious, but wouldn't anyone in the OR be exposed to small amounts of gas too (the surgeon, nurses and techs). Maybe not as much since they are usually not right next to the patient's head. I was just wondering, if anyone has any comments.

15. California CRNA Education

    kabarnes replied to Trixie36's topic in CRNA

    LNsrna well put statement about the GRE. I have been "listening in" on this board for awhile and I too am very scared by the GRE. I have never been very good at standardized tests. However, like you said, this is a small hurdle and it is best not ...
