  1. bad clinical experience today

    London88 replied to FlGasman's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Why should a circulator be alarmed because an SRNA gave fentanyl to a pt. That same SRNA was giving dilaudid and morphine to pts in the unit. What has changed because she is now giving a narcotic to a...

  2. Relatively High CRNA Wages.

    London88 replied to Ekklesia's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Platon20 When did you come to the conclusion that CRNAs do not manage vents in the OR? When CRNAs start critical care drips on a pt in the OR this is not considered CC? When we give drugs to maintain...

  3. Reasons NOT to be CRNA

    London88 replied to Terpole's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    London88 replied to micugirl's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  5. Does time pass slow in the OR?

    London88 replied to Chip_04's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  7. Deciding whether to drop out CRNA school?

    London88 replied to micugirl's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    micugirl; I urge you to hang in there. I was in a similar situation at a clinical site when I was a student. I had no problem setting up for cases, but I was not treated fairly by the clinical...

  8. Ethical/Legal question

    London88 replied to Sis123's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    StikTie and paindoc very well said. I simply could not be bothered to take the time to write what you guys explained to neveragain. The anesthetic plan can change rapidly depending on what is going on...

  9. Ethical/Legal question

    London88 replied to Sis123's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    neveragain, without knowing your situation if you want to be awake and alert for your surgery just ask for anesthesia not to be present. Now if you are saying that you did not want a general...

  10. Online BSN

    London88 replied to paratoCRNA2b's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    London88 replied to stevierae's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  12. an interesting and somewhat ignorant article title

    London88 replied to zrmorgan's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    It never ceases to amaze me when I walk in on a code or a resp distress situation and find the RN or the RT standing at the side of the bed with the AMBU and mask on the pt's face. This is what we are...

    London88 replied to Brian_SRNA's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  15. payment for SRNA's ?????

    London88 replied to alansmith52's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    London88 replied to MaleAPRN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    London88 replied to MmacFN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    London88 replied to KsMICT's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA
