I have worked at both large metro hospitals and now a small community hospital. The larger hospital gives a wider scope of pt. care and more unusual cases. In the small hospital I am in now it's nice that you know your co-workers kids, mama's, dogs etc. But the small time politics and back stabbing is disgusting. Especially of the mnedical staff. I hjave never seen a bigger bunch of spoiled rotten doc's in my life ;and unfortunatley , your stuck with them. There are one or 2 that I wouldn't let touch my dead cat, so if i need medical attention in an emergency I gotta go 30 min. up the road. Over all I'd say a big hospital is best, yes they have poiltics and spoiled doc's but at least you have a little buffer.

Our anesthesia staff gives the propofol. web use demerol, versed, MS, fentanyl. I personally don't want to give it, it's deeper than conscious sedation and some times conscious sedation goes too deep for me.

I am interested in the average dose of conscious sedation that Endo nurses are giving. We use demerol and versed at my hospital and feel that several of our doctors need more education on conscious sedation but have no numbers to get an average dose of medicaiton. Any info is appreciated.
