  8. NEW to CRNA, have questions..

    Putu2Sleep replied to student7345's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    First off, critical care experience as a RRT does not count as the critical care requirement that schools want as a RN. And as for the Bachelor's degree. Most schools just say a Bachelors degree in...

  9. Does your unit do it's own CRRT?

    Putu2Sleep replied to WWRN's topic in MICU, SICU

    we will mostly do CRRT 1:1 but there have definitely been times I've had a CRRT patient and another patient. I've even had an LVAD Ventrassist patient and a Thoratec BIVAD patient at one time before....

  11. Vented Patient Should A Minimal Experienced Nurse Be Caring For A Vented Patient?

    Putu2Sleep replied to SOMA's topic in MICU, SICU

    i find that just hilarious. unless the patient is fresh out the OR from open heart surgery or on a fresh VAD, CRRT (which we still pair sometimes), or an open chest that is unstable they are never...

    Putu2Sleep replied to nursecass's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

  13. CCU experience sufficient for CRNA school??

    Putu2Sleep replied to SoReady4CRNA's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    CCU is good experience. but really if you love the heart why not try the CVICU. you will get the heart patients and get the surgical experience that CRNA programs look for. CVICU you will get every...

  14. VCU Interview

    Putu2Sleep replied to Putu2Sleep's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    interviews are about 4 hours. they are laidback and just ask the regular questions, why you want this, how you've prepared. everyone was very friendly. had only one clinical question. still very...

  17. Question about meds and PCI

    Putu2Sleep replied to lenka SRN's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

  20. Insight into programs?

    Putu2Sleep replied to LackeyRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Putu2Sleep replied to revolution's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  23. Experience before CRNA School

    Putu2Sleep replied to jfk6668's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    pretty much you will need AT LEAST 1 year of ICU experience. i do know that programs will accept NICU or PICU but they mostly prefer adult ICU. talking with many different CRNA's they say their...
