    Pedsccrn replied to AmandaSRNA's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Thanks for the post about the IPAQ 111. After shopping around, I decided that it really was the best device for information retrieval and haven't quit playing with it since. It was fairly expensive,...

    Pedsccrn replied to wildflower rn's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Pedsccrn replied to lovegasRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Pedsccrn replied to gasmaster's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Pedsccrn replied to cantillod's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Pedsccrn replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA
