   Tranman replied to Nupe4sleep's topic in CRNA

   Dang, you've made a liar out of me. Ok, hopefully this is my last post. OK you really have no idea how bad surgeons can be. I know everyone's had their run ins with surgeons on the unit, but it's not the same as working side by side 8-12 hours a d...

2. Very Unhappy With My Career

   Tranman replied to Nupe4sleep's topic in CRNA

   Though they share some commonalities, both professions being nurses per se, they couldn't be more different. Or should I say they are more different than they are alike.

3. Very Unhappy With My Career

   Tranman replied to Nupe4sleep's topic in CRNA

   Uhhh...I don't feel threatened at all. why would I feel threatened that you (a non-CRNA) is giving advice to a CRNA? Give all the opinion that makes you happy. I was merely pointing out the fact that the OP was seeking advice from other CRNA's in a...

4. Very Unhappy With My Career

   Tranman replied to Nupe4sleep's topic in CRNA

   I guess not, but it sure does help. You mean if a patient who is addicted to drugs tell you that you don't know what it's like and you've never been an addict that you suddenly can understand where the patient is coming from?

5. Very Unhappy With My Career

   Tranman replied to Nupe4sleep's topic in CRNA

   hmmm, just wanted to point out that the original poster asked if there were other CRNA's out there unhappy with their job. Not sure why we have people from every other profession giving this person advice. Not to say that your opinions don't count,...

6. ST changes

   Tranman replied to bwt02's topic in CRNA

   Just wanted to post some generalizations here. Well of course we are all here to advocate for the patient. Unfortunately some of us disagree with one another on how to handle situations like this in the OR. UDSCIRN, don't know if you know the politic...

7. HELP, New CRNA prac getting screwed by the man.

   Tranman replied to alansmith52's topic in CRNA

   I have a hard time believing that call is the demand of the hospital. What does hospital admin know about anesthesia. They usually leave scheduling and call issues up to the department heads. I would look there 1st. Sounds like you're getting wor...

8. HELP, New CRNA prac getting screwed by the man.

   Tranman replied to alansmith52's topic in CRNA

   gosh sounds like a pickle. I'm not at all suprised. This seems to happen all to often. Obviously the lesson is to get everything in writing. When you don't, it gives the other party the excuse to change the agreement. And they keep screwing ya t...

   Tranman replied to soliant12's topic in CRNA

   I see what's going on here. this is all very funny to me. 1st BeatOU and the other students, I commend you for asking the questions. It makes us practitioners think and learn. So keep it up. So you are on the right track, but if you are still confuse...

10. 1099 Contract for a new grad

    Tranman replied to bwt02's topic in CRNA

    Thanks. Again you have to look at all the specifics of any offer. You can post a job offer and everyone here will give you their take on it. I hope I am making myself clear. To avoid being misunderstood, I feel like I have to do more explaining....

11. SRNA Blood transfusion question

    Tranman replied to soliant12's topic in CRNA

    What do mean by "the expected distortion of the Svo2"? It is either distorted (dropped) or it is not. You don't give blood b/c you are expecting the sat to drop from low hgb. You'll give blood 1st to keep the pt/VS stable. The BP is where you'll ...

12. 1099 Contract for a new grad

    Tranman replied to bwt02's topic in CRNA

    Also don't get me wrong. I am NOT saying a 1099 is better than a W-2. 1099 works better for some people. One example is that Single people or couples who are young and don't need comprehensive medical insurance. You can buy your own insurance for ...

13. 1099 Contract for a new grad

    Tranman replied to bwt02's topic in CRNA

    what in the world are you talking about? I never changed the terms of the proposal? I said," $98/hr on a 1099 for a GRNA with no call is a Great Postion! Basically $98/hr = $200+/yr." I know this position is for no call. I'm NOT counting call as ...

    Saw on the news tonight, one of the actresses from the tv show "Lost" was busted in LA for DUI. She served 4hrs jailtime out of a possible 2 months. Reasons stated was b/c they need to make room for more serious offenders. Not sure if she got pref...

15. Fluid Replacement on Weight Basis

    Tranman replied to yoga crna's topic in CRNA

    I normally extubate most of my patients deep anyway. I understand your point about popping stitches, but I would be hestitant to extubate deep on a 10 hour case with 600-800cc bld loss neccesitating lots of blood and fluids and having spend any sign...
