If your ADD interferes with giving good competent care then you should fail. Because someone has some syndrome or other ailment does not exclude them from providing competent care. Now I don't know if you were or were not but you seem to be implyin...

I don't believe any are out to get you that would defeat the whole purpose of letting you in. However if you constantly complain or argue with the instructors then you present a nice big target on your back. The point is in school, just keep your m...

: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 y...

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...

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...

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 me...

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 plac...

Here is a solution for you Bush hating liberals. Actually field a candidate that can win an actual election. I know you "enlightened" liberals think Bush is a complete idiot but he continually beats the best you put forward in your own party. Eve...

I have to agree with the above posters. It sounds as if she is preparing you for a program where you are actually going to have to know your stuff to pass. She is not going to graduate someone who will not be a top notch practitioner. As for the c...

:yeahthat:

Mexico might just be on to something. I would rather it be like mexico in the U.S. than like it is here in Canada.

1 year of ICU is what the AANA requires. If someone gets accepted with only one year that is the school's choice. There are plenty of applicants for every slot so people who are not prepared are not accepted. Since most schools require evaluations...

I agree they should not have been talking loudly, but that does not mean she got inferior care. It's providing care in a non-judgemental way, not non-judgementalism period. I would certainly let the RN know what kind of conditions the patient lived...
