1. Mandatory Flu Vaccines- How do you feel?

   lml33 replied to Snowbird17's topic in COVID

   Also, informed consent and full disclosure goes out the window! We are not fully informed. That is why medicine is science. It is a "practice". We need to stand up for what our conscience and education tells us is appropriate for the individual. We d...

   lml33 replied to jewelcutt's topic in CRNA

   Think about it. What is the average time period between ripping the cuff and extubation?...Seconds. Will all of the air diffuse out of that small lumen between the cuff itself and the syringe connector to the smaller cuff that quickly in such a short...

    I can only imagine what my clinical experience will involve. I will begin clinical in January, but I am taking online classes to get them out of the way. Advanced Physiology is interesting, but I spend tons of time reading and studying. It is very in...

13. Research HELP!!!!!

    lml33 replied to Howyaluvdat's topic in CRNA

    I would limit your focus to anesthesia. Even specify the type of anesthesia, such as general anesthesia. Focusing on one specific area will make it easier for you. Your research will be clean and easy for your instructor and readers to understand. Le...
