   BSN06 replied to hypnus's topic in SRNA

   I have not carried a pediatric patient to PACU, but the concern is what would you do if the "pink" skin were suddenly turning blue? I heard a CRNA present at a conference and told a story of this happening to her at one time. Long story short you c...

2. Loans/Fin aid questions for NYC SRNAs

   BSN06 replied to jjsg's topic in SRNA
