  1. Recovering Patients

    London88 posted a topic in Operating Room

    For all you PACU nurses please give me your input on this situation. Should patients be recovered in an ICU by nurses who have never been oriented to PACU nursing. A battle is being waged at my place...

  2. Recovering Patients

    London88 replied to London88's topic in Operating Room

    Sharran, You have stated my point. We have no objections if we are allowed to go to PACU for one or two shifts to get a feel for what PACU nurses do. Maybe it is the same as what we do but we do not...

  4. What percentage of programs would you say offer an "in state" advantage...

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

    The school I am attending in PA does not charge a different rate for out of state students. All graduate students pay the same fee for an MSN. I also know of other schools such as Nazareth in...

  5. Recovering Patients

    London88 replied to London88's topic in Operating Room

    Our argument is that we do not object to recovering patients if we have been given adequate training. Our trainining was a two page paper listing the drugs used for anesthesia. Two weeks ago we were...

  6. EASY ADMISSION CRNA PROGRAMS not ICU advice!

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

    Kromrei I believe Ann was told to do her homework and to research the aana website where she can look at the different schools. That was not good enough for her so she got a little agitated. We all...

  7. EASY ADMISSION CRNA PROGRAMS not ICU advice!

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

    There are many schools in the Philadelphia region. i can think of 6 of them without too much thinking. Like Roland said, the more schools in a given geographical area the better one's chance of being...

  8. How much CHEMISTRY did you take as an undergrad?

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

    I think Doug is right in his differentiating between MS, and MSN programs. My program is an MSN program, and all they asked for is a BSN, evidence of a statistics class, and a health assesment class....

  9. CNM to CRNA...

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

    Baby Catcher, Villanova offers what is you are looking for. I just started their program as a non traditional student, in that I am taking all the core requisites first before beginning my clinicals...

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

    marlk_LD_RN I am going to raise an issue for which I will be crucified, but I am going to raise the issue anyway. Do you think that you being dicsriminated against as a male nurse in OB is because of...

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

    Roland, you raise some valid points, however you are thinking rationally in terms of wanting to be a CRNA in that institution. Hence my point about my boss having irrational prejudisms. In terms of my...

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

    Unfortunantely the anti CRNA attitude also surfaces in the workplace. I had a discussion with my boss earlier on this year in terms of hiring new staff, and he stated that he screens his applicants...

  13. CRNA Debate from www.studentdoctor.net

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

    Somebody earlier on hit it right on the nail when they described the residents as behaving like a bunch of kids. After reading their discussions it dawned on me that immaturity is obviously one of the...

  14. Floating of ICU RNs

    London88 replied to braveheart's topic in MICU, SICU

    How about being asked to float from the unit to another floor, and having an agency nurse take your place in ICU. My organization was doing this on a regular basis. I have great respect for the agency...
