  2. Haunted Hospital

    RedCell replied to DeadHeadRN's topic in General Nursing

    I do not know what I found more enjoyable....reading DeadheadRN's ghost story or studentsante's reply to DeadheadRN's ghost

  3. 10 Excellent Reasons for National Health Care

    RedCell replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Sorry if you found my "scare stories" offensive dude, though I think you were probably referring to the "scare stories" of those that have actually experienced socialized medicine in their native...

  4. 10 Excellent Reasons for National Health Care

    RedCell replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You tell me this story and yet you pay for a premium membership on this website. These are the decisions I was talking about in my previous post

  5. 10 Excellent Reasons for National Health Care

    RedCell replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Listen dude, I went to school, took out loans, worked hard for what I wanted. Actually ate a peanut butter sandwich almost everyday I was in anesthesia school because it helped to save money. Now I...

  6. Explaining CRNA job description to others

    RedCell replied to Icare4all's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Dude, I know how you feel. I've been married for 5 years. Both the wife and I are nurses (met in college). I wanted to be a CRNA. So I worked hard, saved money, made sure the wife was on birth...

  7. RN-MSN (WANT TO BE NP) is it possible while working full time as an rn??

    RedCell replied to want to do good 86's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Shouldn't be a problem. I worked PRN (40 hr weeks) as a full-time FNP student. Just make sure you can schedule your work around school and not your school schedule around your work. Good

  8. Propofol for conscious sedation?

    RedCell replied to EMTSNA's topic in Emergency

    What were the ASA classifications of the patients involved in these randomized trials wtbcrna? I do agree that Aquavan will do a lot to end this current

  9. Propofol for conscious sedation?

    RedCell replied to EMTSNA's topic in Emergency

    I think you should refer to the package insert when questioning whether or not an RN can push the white stuff. It clearly states only those trained in general anesthesia should be administering...

  10. Scope of Practice?

    RedCell replied to flygirls2's topic in Emergency

    I am SO glad you brought this up! Just last week my Uncle Rico (a recent nursing grad) responded to an MVC where a bus full of illegals crashed into a Jose Cuervo delivery truck down near...

  11. Is Burn ICU enough for CRNA school

    RedCell replied to sarahneeyah's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    If you look at the AANA website you will see that the actual requirement is critical care not ICU. ICU means a lot of different things to hospitals around the US. Some people who say they are ICU...

  12. How much are you borrowing?

    RedCell replied to harborview's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Most people do not take this money out all at once. You do it in increments. Look to Stafford (government loan) first. You will get whatever amount your school says is is necessary for tuition....

  13. Feeling really down.

    RedCell replied to HappyPediRN's topic in General Nursing

    Blondy makes a good point. I saw your screen name, are you only applying for pediatric wards? Maybe you could take a job in a med/surg unit or even a nursing home (these dudes are always hiring as...

  14. CRNA that went NP first?

    RedCell replied to 81FSUseminole's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I work with a few CRNAs that were ACNPs before going back to school, but have never met or heard of a CRNA that quit to become an ACNP or FNP. If you are already thinking about getting bored doing...

  15. How much are you borrowing?

    RedCell replied to harborview's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I think that will depend on what your program of study is. For anesthesia school I took out $80,000. Half for tuition and half to live on. Sallie mae is my mistress. I just graduated so hopefully...

  16. In DESPERATE need of adivce

    RedCell replied to 3Triages's topic in General Nursing

    Of course your school is in it to make money. What business isn't? The job of your professors is not to hold your hand, nurture you, or give you hugs and kisses. They are there to present material...

  17. Nurses who gossip and talk behind your back.

    RedCell replied to CrystalClear75's topic in General Nursing

    Being "crabby" and talking behind each others backs is just what women do regardless of the profession. Learn how to let it go, or find a ward where you work with mostly men. Before I got into...

  18. Fentanyl/Nubain use in labor

    RedCell replied to K os's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You would give the nubain slick, OBs love this crap drug. Here is the basic watered down justification....It is a mixed opiate agonist/antagonist (look that up later dude). Agonist activity is on the...

  19. dropped lung during central line

    RedCell replied to Guest219794's topic in Emergency

    I assume you mean subclavian insertions as these carry a higher incidence of pneumo than IJs do. With subclavians your insertion site is just below the last 1/3 of the clavicle aiming for the sternal...

  20. dropped lung during central line

    RedCell replied to Guest219794's topic in Emergency

    Big needle punctures cavity relying on negative pressure. The lung collapses as air is entrained into the plueral

  21. Anyone ever have thoughts about going from pre-CRNA to medical anesthesiology?

    RedCell replied to SIGMACHIGUY's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I thought you had already solved your dilemma based on the response you made in

  22. Anyone use Ntrous Oxide in their ED?

    RedCell replied to EDMISSYRN's topic in Emergency

    What do registered nurses know about diffusion hypoxia or any other various complication that relates to N2O? If you have a situation where you need an inhalational anesthetic gas, call

  25. Questioning nursing dx..

    RedCell replied to OBstudent0321's topic in General Nursing

    How about, increased risk of red stuff coming out of all holes do to megakaryocytes' knowledge deficit concerning how to make more platelets. That sounds like a standard BS NANDA
