4. acceptance stigma?

   gasmn2b replied to piper_for_hire's topic in CRNA

   I think a lot of the attitude that you receive or perceive is based upon what you bring upon yourself. Are you a new grad with the attitude of 1 year and I'm outta here or have you put in the time and gained the respect of other co-workers by showing...

   If anyone takes the time to look at the thread on SDN they will realize that the majority of their posters are more worried about length of certain body parts and other mindless drivel. This just goes to show the level of maturity that one can find o...

7. On ethics and consideration

   gasmn2b replied to Just a CRNA's topic in SRNA

   My situation is also similar except I had no monetary involvement. Just as soon as I found out about my first choice (second school to be accepted to), I personally called the director of the program (of my second choice) and informed her of my chang...

9. Stipends and how they work

12. Swan Lines

    gasmn2b replied to 2ndChance's topic in CRNA

    I don't think he was attempting to rag on me. I just found it amusing that he felt he could not function without all the invasive technologies available with critically ill patients. According to his background. I think he was actually younger than m...

    gasmn2b replied to 2ndChance's topic in CRNA

    Swans are not used that much any more. Yes Cvt Surgery but it is been proven that many other uses for swans do not actually improve Mortalities in patients that they are placed in. I personally have cared for about 5 in 8 years of MICU experience. I...
