  2. ER Registered NUrse

    KsMICT replied to Daimon's topic in Men in Nursing

    Get into an ER in some capacity to get a feel of the ER atmosphere (boredom followed by fear, two patients followed by too many patients, sometimes b**chy nurses) and to know what 12 hours on your...

    KsMICT replied to karen230's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Will be 31 in October. I've worked as and EMT and paramedic but knew I wanted to be a CRNA after an OR rotation in paramedic school. I've been taking my BSN pre-reqs over the last two years and will...

  4. TEAS exam question.

    KsMICT posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What's the lowdown? How many questions are on this test? My school allows 3.5 hours to take it. I've been taking practice tests from the TEAS company's study guide and it seems many of the science...

  5. TEAS exam question.

    KsMICT replied to KsMICT's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well that certainly puts my mind at ease. Like most people the science section is giving me the most worries but the fact that it's the shortest

  6. Paramedic/MICU a good combo?

    KsMICT replied to bjr3645's topic in MICU, SICU

    I can't see why it wouldn't be a good combo. I am also a paramedic and I hope to start nursing school this January (and too have ICU aspirations). EMS personnel are trained to deal with critical care...

  7. crna school and iv skills

    KsMICT replied to confused1234's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'm not a CRNA but I would like to add a question to your question. CRNAs seem to have a rep of the greatest IV starters anywhere. It seems I've heard more than once that people who are hard sticks...

  8. CRNAs... Were you at the top of your class? Am this for me? Your personality type?

    KsMICT replied to Mesomorph's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    What do they want you to include in your

  9. Clinical discussion... as requested!

    KsMICT replied to EmeraldNYL's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    According to the link http://www.intelihealth.com/IH/ihtIH/WSIHW000/9339/24695.html the possible presence of genetic MH can only be tested at a few labs in the country and is done by muscle biopsy....

  10. Ques. for those that applied to CRNA school with 1 yr RN experience

    KsMICT replied to 2bNurseNikki376's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Question for those of you who quickly got in CRNA school: What do you think "did" it for you? Was it grades, recommendations, experience other than nursing, the school? I'm sure it is a combination of...

  11. First intubation today...

    KsMICT replied to Phishininau's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Good job. One piece of advice- if you use a stylet HOLD ONTO THE TUBE when you remove said stylet! When I was doing my paramedic training/ OR/intubation rotation there was a case in which I got the...

  12. money involved in becoming a crna

    KsMICT replied to ccunurse123's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    The question becomes how long to most new CRNAs carry this debt. Do most just use most of their first year salary to pay it off? (I have also seen want ads where a group or hospital claims they will...

  13. Reasons NOT to be CRNA

    KsMICT replied to Terpole's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Though I'm not a CRNA (yet!) can I assume that the day-to-day business operations (i.e. billing, dealing w/ Medicare, etc) can be a bit of a drag- as they'd be for any medical specialty? Granted, most...

  14. Any former paramedics here? Did it help to get in CRNA school?

    KsMICT posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Just curious if having a background in advanced airway management and of immediate critical care management (e.g. pre-hospital code red or blue) makes for a strong(er) candidate for CRNA school...

  15. How much movement does it take to dislodge a tube?

    KsMICT posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Hello all- I am new to these boards but I have been reading them for several months. I am a paramedic taking prereqs towards a BSN so I can eventually become (surprise) a CRNA. I'm sure I will be...
