1. Airway management mishap results in tragic outcome

   WAREAGLE replied to Athlein1's topic in CRNA

   My technique was not the problem. Their was a CRNA with me in both instances & yes there are patients in which an LMA does not work as you would like it to. I have heard many CRNAs say that have had some patients they could not get good air excha...

2. Clinical - GlideScope and intubation assistant devices..

   WAREAGLE replied to rn29306's topic in CRNA

   I really like the glidescope, but for new students it has good & bad sides. It is great to view the airway anatomy, but like you all have mentioned a little hard to manipulate the tube for intubation. Also, when you are first starting out & t...

3. Airway management mishap results in tragic outcome

   WAREAGLE replied to Athlein1's topic in CRNA

   I am sure there is a lot more to this case than the information provided. It is easy to say what went wrong & what should have been done if you are looking at it retrospectively. I am only a student & have already had instances when LMAs just...

4. medications for conscience sedation that RN's are able to push

   WAREAGLE replied to strugglingstudent's topic in CRNA

   You need to read the policies set forth by the board of nursing in your state & also your individual hospital policy. Remember, even if for some reason your hospital allows you to push/use something you still need to check with the BON in your st...

5. difference between Nurse Anesthetist and anesthesiologist

   WAREAGLE replied to lpnstudentin2010's topic in SRNA

   I know what you are saying- you know what you would do if you were a crna already or even an rn that is employed there, but then you don't want to make waves when you are the student. Grin & move on!!

6. difference between Nurse Anesthetist and anesthesiologist

   WAREAGLE replied to lpnstudentin2010's topic in SRNA

   I understand what you are saying in regards to individual people will react differently, but as a whole, and I am pretty sure most would agree with me the nursing field shows more patient compassion day in and day out. That opinion comes from years o...

7. difference between Nurse Anesthetist and anesthesiologist

   WAREAGLE replied to lpnstudentin2010's topic in SRNA

   I agree both types can be compansionate or non-compasionate , but all in all CRNAs has a whole are more attentive to the patients emotional needs and are more comforting. That is a huge part of what a nurse brings into any area of healthcare.

9. is it muscle or technique for intubating?

   WAREAGLE replied to kestrel1121's topic in CRNA

   They should just throw those mannequins out the windows!! They are nothing like intubating a person in my opinion. Laryngoscopy takes some strength, but it is much more about technique. Once you start getting the technique down you will find it requi...

    I have only been using the miller. I am waiting to try the mac after I feel I am proficient with the miller. I have gotten my intubations easily & then there are days I couldn't get one no matter what. The two biggest pieces of advice that have h...

12. Moving to Birmingham, AL need advice!

    WAREAGLE replied to jrec's topic in CRNA

    We lived in Helena, Al & it is a nice area. Pelham is in that direction as well. The housing costs are rapidly going up so even 15-30 mins away can be costly. We loved helena, but the traffic during rush hour is still bad. Not as bad as Hwy 280-i...

13. joining military reserve

    WAREAGLE replied to egul105's topic in CRNA

    If you are talking about joining as a crna student then you will not be pulled during school. The army wants you in school & for that to be your only focus. Now after school you must go for a few weeks training & then you are fair game. That ...
