  1. Does it bother CRNA's that MDA's get so much more...?

    Exactly
  2. Does it bother CRNA's that MDA's get so much more...?

    surely there are multiple factors in play here. If it was strictly same job - same outcomes - same pay, then we wouldn't see ACT practices today skewed towards MDA>CRNA income. The only place I see this actually happening is in the CRNA independen...
  3. Does it bother CRNA's that MDA's get so much more...?

    I understand why a MDA gets paid more than a CRNA even for the same job with the same outcomes across the board. I believe MDAs have different experiences and thus bring different views into practice as do CRNAs that MDAs don't, which both views are ...

    Hey fellow classmates :) Everyone should join the "Midwestern University Nurse Anesthesia Class of 2018" facebook page so we all have a place to congregate before classes start! There's only about 9 of us currently in the group. Looking forward to ge...
  5. Sexy male scrubs

    Honestly man the last thing on your mind should be 'looking sexy' for your nursing shift. Saying that find out if your hospital allows or doesn't reinforce rules about wearing T-shirts as tops. I wear these nice slim-fitting t shirts from Express and...

  10. I made a big mistake

    What you SHOULD have done was requesting a STAT chest xray and worry about his pneumo getting larger or maybe an ABG to see if he was retaining CO2? SpO2 and pCO2 do not have an inverse relationship... He could have been progressing into a tension pn...
  11. hiv and infections

    You realize it's quite difficult to get HIV from even a needle stick let alone having if be splashed on you. I wouldn't worry about it one bit.
  12. Alteplase infusion for clotted port

    I'm kind of at a loss for words. Indwelling TpA and infusing TpA and completely different therapies as mentioned above. if the clot is INSIDE of the port then there would be no facial swelling and would require indwelling TpA which is anywhere from 3...
  13. Can you recommend a medication?

    Well if she had itchy eyes and a puffy face obviously it could be a sign of an allergic reaction in which you are right to suggest benedryl because it shows your thought process and what you're worried about. I work in a neurosurgical ICU and I sugg...
