  1. clinical site interview

    Pete495 replied to athomas91's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    This is the first I've heard of clinical interviews for anesthesia school. Hell, I guess they're treating you like you're in MD school at Hahneman instead. That doesn't surprise me all that much for...

  2. inserting invasive lines in school

    Pete495 replied to MTM's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I just wondered whether you thought MDA's were inserting chest tubes a lot? If there was a complication with a SG, do you think the MDA would call a surgeon to insert a chest tube, or would he do it...

  3. SRNAs/CRNAs - needle safety question

    Pete495 replied to Athlein's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I know personally that the docs and CRNA's in our hospital use safety syringes. In other words, they use a needle to draw it up, but the syringe to inject the medication. How else are you supposed...

  6. Incident report filing....How do you do it?

    Pete495 replied to Pete495's topic in General Nursing

    Scotty, Not to worry at all. I've known a couple people to do this on my floor. We actually have what is called a pilot balloon repair kit, which is used to repair your balloon in case you do cut...

  7. Incident report filing....How do you do it?

    Pete495 replied to Pete495's topic in General Nursing

    I couldn't imagine filing a report because of doctor's mishaps. How much weight would be held under those reports? I think some nurses believe there is a difference between an omission and a med...

  8. How long does report take?

    Pete495 replied to RNnites's topic in General Nursing

    Report time is my least favorite time of the shift. I hate it when nurses ramble on about useless information or expect me to tell them every little detail. As if they can't read my documentation or...

  9. Ever leave work crying?

    Pete495 replied to New CCU RN's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    I can't say that I've ever cried after work, but I have had to take a deep breath every now and then. What I'm wondering is why this patient had an intern taking care of him. Why do you call the...

    Pete495 replied to Sonya G's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

  13. Becoming a CRNA - From One Who Did It

    Pete495 replied to kmchugh's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Hi Kevin, Maybe I can ask you a couple of questions. I have been applying to nurse anesthesia school most recently. At this point, I've been called for interviews from 3 different schools. I...
