  3. ICU experience for CRNA school

    CCRNRCIS replied to Micu 2020's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I will add that I work in a CVICU, and IABPs rarely get used at my hospital. Cardiologists or CV surgeons usually opt for an Impella or LVAD. All that to say...IABPs are not worth leaving your home...

  4. CRNA school chances

    CCRNRCIS replied to BSN_1620's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    *Take your GRE and maybe even retake some sciences to get your science GPA up. *Don’t limit yourself to just a few schools. Apply to several and spread your net

    CCRNRCIS replied to 2015RNgrad's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  9. CRNA for the older RN

    CCRNRCIS replied to Richard Michael Brett's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I’m finding that to be my case. I’ve got high GPAs (3.6 overall and 4.0 science), 7 years experience, and stellar LOR. I definitely feel discriminated due to my age (mid 40s). Obviously there is...

  10. Anterior MI's

    CCRNRCIS replied to NurseMelchi's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    I'm sorry for my misinformation @offlabel. I guess all 7 of the cardiologists that I work with on a daily basis are wrong in teaching me what I

  11. Did you disclose your Plans for CRNA school

    CCRNRCIS replied to BSN24's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I feel sorry for those of you that have to keep things on the DL about your plans for CRNA school. I work in a 60 bed unit and pretty much everyone knows my plans. I do occasionally get the SI or the...

  12. Arkansas State 2019 CRNA

    CCRNRCIS replied to PICU-Murse's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  14. Do I stand a chance?

    CCRNRCIS replied to Millenial nurse's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    All I can say is apply to more than one school and see what happens. Even when you check off all the boxes for one school's qualifications, you still may not get accepted while others do get accepted...

  15. Will a good GPA outweigh lack of experience?

    CCRNRCIS replied to mchristy12's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    No GRE required if you already have your CCRN. You could always email the director or AD and ask if you are qualified to apply with your experience. They have been super helpful and quick to reply to...

  16. Curious: What do you like and dislike about the selection of scrubs on the market?

    CCRNRCIS replied to May893's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I love me some good broken-in OR scrubs. If they could make those in Navy (already broken-in and soft) then I would be happy. I don't need super tight, stretchy, polyester scrubs. That's prob why...

  17. Scrub cap wearers

    CCRNRCIS replied to PaigeNicole's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

  20. Veteran Nurses : advise please

    CCRNRCIS replied to kjsister's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    I like to watch Med Cram videos on YouTube. If you are on a step-down unit I would even ask to go watch a CABG or valve replacement. Maybe even shadow a cath lab nurse to see a few heart caths, PPM...

  21. Need advice

    CCRNRCIS replied to veterannurse86's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    I worked on a step-down unit before transferring to the ICU. After being burned out from being tripled everyday I transferred to the cath lab. I learned more about hemodynamics, ACLS protocol, and...

  22. Unstable Angina Pre-CABG management

    CCRNRCIS replied to dontbetachy90's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    I'm hoping the pt was in the CCU being continuously monitored. I don't work in a teaching hospital, but can't you page the attending instead of the resident? Or the CV surgeon that should have...

  23. Afib

    CCRNRCIS replied to BSN_Studnt's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    New onset MAY buy you a heparin gtt, cardizem gtt, or amiodarone gtt. Most Afibs need some type of anticoagulation to prevent clots from forming esp in the left atrial

  24. Anterior MI's

    CCRNRCIS replied to NurseMelchi's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac
