  1. yes, again, to CCRN or not ?

    midwestsrna1 replied to dfk's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I just let me CCRN lapse in June (after 9 months in anesthesia school). While I certainly had the cont ed hours, I wasn't going to cough up the $200 bucks or whatever the renewal fee was....

    midwestsrna1 replied to mammothsnw's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  3. Anesthesia Technologist

    midwestsrna1 replied to tookewlandy's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    No offense, but I can't believe a hospital would let someone run cell saver with no formal training?!? Is this common place? Where I am an SRNA, perfusion runs the cell

  4. Duke anyone?

    midwestsrna1 replied to STICU-RN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I was wondering the exact same thing. I have a friend who applied there and hasn't heard anything. Anyone,

  5. AANA Annual Convention attire

    midwestsrna1 posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Just looking for some input from CRNAs and senior SRNAs who attended the AANA convention in recent years...Does everyone really wear suits all the time like you see in the pictures? Or is there the...

    Yoga, Thanks for the great advice. Glad to hear you make the extra effort to look

  8. The Most CRNA friendly States

    midwestsrna1 replied to MmacFN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Would you think it was funny if someone wrote that your personality was as blank as a chalkboard? I for one would not and would be very interested to find out who had posted that about me. I haven't...

  9. The Most CRNA friendly States

    midwestsrna1 replied to MmacFN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    No, we don't know each other (however, if we did, you would have no way of knowing me because I would never identify myself in any way on this

    midwestsrna1 replied to MmacFN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Also, if yer at Ben Taub say hi to Dr. Ken Mattox. His brain is as big as 4 peoples even if his personality is as blank as a chalk board Mike...what the hell is wrong with you??? Do you not realize...

  11. OHSU interview

    midwestsrna1 posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hey all. Was just wondering about the overall impression of the OHSU program/interview process. I had a friend who just interviewed last week but I'm curious about other people's opinions. Also,...

  12. OHSU interview

    midwestsrna1 replied to midwestsrna1's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Sounds like the program will be a bit of a rough ride but will probably prepare you well (but ugh the $$$$). I'm curious because I'm originally from the area. I had heard rumors of the program but...

  13. For physiology studs only..

    midwestsrna1 replied to rn29306's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    As a healthcare provider you should realize the danger of incorrectly labeling something an allergy when it isn't (whether or not it's your right to lie is another topic that I don't really care...

  14. Thinking about CRNA... Advice PLEASE!

    midwestsrna1 replied to golfmontpoker's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Have you seen "Meet the Parents"? Start

  15. Thinking about CRNA... Advice PLEASE!

    midwestsrna1 replied to golfmontpoker's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    You are insulting us all by coming on here, talking about NURSING (notice the spelling) as your back-up plan and saying you have no interest in being a "regular RN". Sorry to break it to you, but you...

  16. Lidocaine prior to IV start?

    midwestsrna1 replied to WVUturtle514's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    At the start of our program, we got a lecture on always using local with PIVs. The next week, one of the students who was a very experienced nurse was spending a day in IV therapy and successfully...

  17. Non anesthesia provider providing anesthesia

    midwestsrna1 replied to EMS/ICU/SRNA's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I wouldn't assume they allow it unless they have a statement explicitly saying they do, as in your state of Arizona. Many states may not have a policy on it since it is clearly outside the RNs realm...

  19. Is the AA profession gaining ground?

    midwestsrna1 replied to Alpha13's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    How would AAs feel if anesthesia techs started calling themselves AAs or anesthesia assistants or anesthesiologist assistants? All three names could describe their "role" if you will, sort of like a...

    midwestsrna1 replied to Alpha13's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  21. Non anesthesia provider providing anesthesia

    midwestsrna1 replied to EMS/ICU/SRNA's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Aside from my opinion that it is unsafe, RNs who are doing this should push to get an official hosptial/department policy on the practice so at least that would cover you in

  22. Non anesthesia provider providing anesthesia

    midwestsrna1 replied to EMS/ICU/SRNA's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I agree...after studying anesthesia, I would never agree to push propofol as an RN on a non-intubated patient without an anesthesia provider present. Somehow the "we do it all the time" doesn't seem...

  23. Nurse's Aid acting as a Nurse

    midwestsrna1 replied to jalvino1's topic in General Nursing

    Don't think for one second that woman isn't able to differentiate between CNA and RN. If she can't, then she's too stupid to be working in the hospital. She should be constantly reminded of her...

  24. Contracted Grp vs Hospital employee

    midwestsrna1 replied to MmacFN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Interesting...so they've guaranteed you acceptance if you meet certain

  25. Another year?

    midwestsrna1 replied to Floridanurse's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Why "does it suck to have to undo what happened in the past?" I'm being serious here, not trying to be obnoxious (though I'm sure it is coming off that way). Multiple C's in basic courses show...
