:rotfl: :yeahthat: :lol_hitti but of course us strike busters are there for the patient care, just like the folks that are on strike...

I wouldn't say a word and definitely would not mention it to other coworkers until you have been there a year or two.

Get a 4th reference from a CRNA and you will be golden, but the first three should follow what the program requested which was from RNs not MDs.

Take a look in Jaffe third edition (anesthesiologist manual of surgical procedures) Appendix D3 discussing emergence it will give you the dose for laryngospasm 0.1-0.5mg/kg .1 will brak it for an adult and will almost always keep them breathing so you aren't dealing with an apneic patient.

You could spend two years in school to be an AA or just stay at a holiday inn express.

For a laryngospasm 0.1mg/kg is the proper dose. Even with adults 10mg or 20mg will break a spasm and keep your patient breathing.

Doctor is correct

The only thing that has helped poverty was welfare reform that Clintonhad to be dragged kicking and screming to sign. Our current system is only broken because too many people are at the trough and only a few to pay for it. It amazes me that people scream about all these social problems that are broken or antiquated, but talk about reforming a filed program like social security and people are up in arms about it. We don't need a single payer system in this country we need people that will actually pay their hospital bills and not utilize emergency rooms for primary care.

JFK is directly to blame for the number of homeless and poor in this country as well as his predecessor for the utter failure that the war on poverty has caused. JFK and Lyndon Johnson have done more to harm and decimate minorities and women in this country than any administration in history.

This is done quite frequently in the ER call it professional courtesy. Why is it any of your business if she wants to ask the doctor for a script?

They'll teach it to you in CRNA school. MAC is more of a guideline since other supplements to anesthesia can increase or decrease your MAC value of inhaled anesthetics.

Let someone come into a union facility and not want to join a union they will be pressured into joining by the union members. They will make your life hell if you don't join the union.

It's a shame they care more about the self interests of teachers rather than the education of children. This is why I don't believe nursing unions when they claim to be for patient ratios and what not for the safety of the patients.

First, I would really like to see how they arrived at that number just like the supposed 3 million homeless in this country, and people having to choose between food and medicine and my favorite someone working three minimum wage jobs to make ends meet. Secondly, there are so many government (tax payer funded) programs out there that just about anyone could qualify. A lot of young healthy people choose not to receive health care coverage by choice. They are healthy and would rather spend that money on other choices. Many people are homeless as a choice or have drug and mental health issues and this is a direct cause by JFK deinstitutionalizing the mentally ill. I am always skeptical of these numbers.

I think you will find that unions benefit the more worthless employees. It is harder to fire the slackers and it creates an air of mediocrity. I worked at a Kaiser facility in California and the trash was overflowing from the cans at times the place was dirty and all anyone could talk about was money this and money that. I had nurses leave me a written report for shift change and were gone when I arrived. That would not be tolerated in a non union facility. Would be interesting to see patient outcomes in union vs. non union facilities. Unions served a valuable purpose in the early parts of the past century but now they are strictly self serving.
