1. Just interviewed

   rshores95 replied to lifelong's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

   I haven't posted in a while. I would say how well you answer questions in an interview(i.e. answering with accurate responses) is less important than the manner in which you answer them (i.e. do you...

4. SRNA qualifications (one year?)

   rshores95 replied to qanik's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

   I believe that Flight nursing does not require so much experience anymore. I know a nurse that became a flight nurse after one year of ICU nursing (one year of nursing total). Also, I think that ICU...

5. gre scores how high do they have to be to be competitive

   rshores95 replied to bobcat62's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

   I got in with a 3.1 and a 1260 combined. I don't know how close I was to not making the cut, but I got in. One thing that is important is that if you do well on the GRE, you need to be able to...

7. Milrinone: Anyone used this?

   rshores95 replied to Diprivan/Vented's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

   I like Milrinone a lot. We rarely see problems with it (unless we have hypotension problems). It works well and does not increase myocardial oxygen

   I think outcome depends largely on the reason for implantation. Senario 1-Pt has heart failure but is mostly stable with some inotropes. LVAD/BiVad placed BEFORE pt decompensates emergently for...

10. What is Aorta Dissection?

    rshores95 replied to kwagner_51's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    Interesting, I always thought, and I'm pretty sure I'm right on this, that you classify three types (or use the A,B system) Type I-Includes part of the ascending and descending aorta. This is the...

    Is anyone else out there applying for the FIU program in Miami? I haven't heard from them yet for an interview. It would be reassuring if I'm not the only one. I know their deadline isn't until the...
