3. CRNA vs. AA

   SRNA312 replied to pollyo959's topic in CRNA

   Without expounding too much, what you say is pretty much how it is in a nutshell. People have very strong opinions about these two professions but the bottom line is, there is no research to prove that in the long run, one profession is better or sa...

4. Nitrogen Wash Out

   SRNA312 replied to canoehead's topic in CRNA

   Very true and very good point. Other things are definitely happening. If, during a difficult intubation or whatever, your denitrogenated patient with 100% sats hasn't had a breath in a bit, you may want to consider giving breaths, if for nothing els...

5. Nitrogen Wash Out

   SRNA312 replied to canoehead's topic in CRNA

   The pillow doesn't have anything to do with the nitrogen washout. That is for obtaining a "sniffing" position that aligns the oral, pharyngeal, and laryngeal axis in an anatomically optimal manner to ease intubation. Whether you leave the pillow or n...

6. How helpful is Valley Review?

   SRNA312 replied to jts2404's topic in CRNA

   For me, actually being at valley did NOTHING for me except get me a few days off of clinical and a decent road trip with classmates. I DEFINITELY could have gone without it. But that's just me. The material, including the memory master is worth th...

8. Anesthetist programs that DON'T require ICU experience

   SRNA312 replied to EnergizerNurse's topic in SRNA

   The whole point is to accept individuals who have knowledge about and experience with controlling people's hemodynamics with vasoactive drugs and measuring their hemodynamics with things such as Art lines, CVP lines, and SWANs. In addition, knowledg...

9. In State Certification

   SRNA312 replied to CRNABH2b's topic in CRNA

   You only have to take it once. It does not matter what state you take it in. The difficulty does not change per state. All that matters is that you have a nursing license and/or advanced practictioner nursing licence in whatever state you want to w...

11. laryngospasm and peds Succs dose.

    SRNA312 posted a topic in CRNA

    Can someone please provide me with a pediatric Succs dose for laryngospasm with a respectable reference? I can't seem to find it. I know what normal peds succs doses are and I also know that 2mg/kg IV and 4mg/kg IM should definitely cover it if th...
