  1. High narcotic technique help

    TraumaNurse replied to WntrMute2's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I do not start clinicals until June so I am asking this for interest sake. Do you have any problems with hypotension with high dose narcs, especially MS? Is the key in keeping pts euvolemic or do you...

  2. extubating deep

    TraumaNurse replied to athomas91's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Great info. I have another question. I understand why sux is given to for laryngospasm when it occurs, but will the patient re-spasm in 6 or 8 min when the sux wears off or is that period of muscle...

  3. Getting work in Adult ICU

    TraumaNurse replied to JoJozay's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    pnurseuwm, It's all about time management. I went back to school for my BSN full time, while working full time nights on the weekend and had a new baby in the house! It wasn't easy, but when...

  4. Ketamine manufacturer

    TraumaNurse posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Hi all, I'm writing a paper for my Pharm class on ketamine in anesthesia. Can anyone tell me who the manufacturer is? I need to get the drug monograph. I will search online, but I thought I'd try here...

  5. Ketamine manufacturer

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

    Very helpful..thanks

  6. Which path should I take? (preSRNA prep question)

    TraumaNurse replied to Carenica's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    This was recently discusses on another thread. Your MN may actually hinder your getting into CRNA school (Can't get the same degree twice) unless they have a post-masters program, which few schools...

  7. Hemodynamics

    TraumaNurse replied to BDD's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I think that even if you do not need to know about certain hemodynamics for your interview, that knowing them will only benefit you in your ICU practice and knowledge in general. Even if the docs at...

  8. I Got In!!!!!!!!

    TraumaNurse replied to bwt02's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Cherish, The Midwestern U. mentioned here is in Phoenix, AZ, not the one in TX. They have a new CRNA program that begins this

  9. I Got In!!!!!!!!

    TraumaNurse replied to bwt02's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Congratulations! It's always exciting to hear when people get in! Good

  10. Confusion: MS or MSN?

    TraumaNurse replied to pnurseuwm's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    llg, In the case of CRNA schools, the MS could be an MS in Biology or an MS in anesthesia and is not a 'nursing' degree at all. You must be an RN obviously, but you do not necessarily have to have a...

  11. Confusion: MS or MSN?

    TraumaNurse replied to pnurseuwm's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    No difference in CRNA with MS or MSN, just a different masters degree. You are correct that all CRNA programs are masters but some are MSN and some are MS. The MSN will have more nursing theory but...

  12. What cities have the highest ICU nurse demand?

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

    Roland, The actual ICU experience you have is more important than the hospital's reputation where you gain that experience. I doubt many CRNA programs look at which academic center you worked at, they...

  13. BSN. University of Phoenix

    TraumaNurse replied to lori-e's topic in General Nursing

    First of all, you do not need a MSN to enter into a NP program, you need a BSN. NP programs are MSN programs. I finished my BSN through UOP in Albuquerque and it worked out well. It was more expensive...

  14. Survery: Tuition cost and credits

    TraumaNurse replied to Brenna's Dad's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    58 $332 / credit (Instate)

  15. Got the call today!

    TraumaNurse replied to gravitycure's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Congrats!!!

  16. Loans & BAD credit

    TraumaNurse replied to JSB's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I agree with Roland. If you have a co-signer, your credit may not even be checked. Call a BankOne loan officer and speak to them about your situation. Since I had a co-signer (my wife) I did not have...

  17. In State Tuition

    TraumaNurse replied to BikeGurl's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Businessman, You are correct that you need to contact the state about residency status, but more importantly, you should speak with the school you are attending. Residency for tuition purposes is...

  18. DO (school) in anesthesiology or CRNA school

    TraumaNurse replied to Mantibob's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I agree with with jrvb, you have to decide whether you want to be a doctor or a nurse. Personally, I think since you are in an ASN program, you should finish your BSN, work in ICU and apply to CRNA...

  19. Webster, and St. Louis Area Hospitals..

    TraumaNurse replied to mommyof2grls's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Hey Mommy, Can't tell you anything about St. Louis, but I'm glad you are still posting!

  20. In State Tuition

    TraumaNurse replied to BikeGurl's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I think it is state dependent. When I applied for instate status in NJ, I just had to prove that I moved here permanently and not just to go to school. I had to provide my drivers license, car...

  21. Philly area schools?

    TraumaNurse replied to EmeraldNYL's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    One of the biggest issues I see is that the other area schools may follow suite and we will see large increases in tuition at those schools too. Even if not >$100,000, the "non-Ivy League" schools...

  22. Philly area schools?

    TraumaNurse replied to EmeraldNYL's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    This may be rumor, but someone I work with said he spoke with Lasalle/ Montgomery program and they too have their 2005 class filled and are accepting apps for 2006. This is second hand info, so take...

  23. HELP!!! (me as RN?)

    TraumaNurse replied to Future-Male-RN?'s topic in New Jersey Nursing

    Male nurse here....and not gay either. You will find gay male nurses and you will find straight male nurses, you will find gay and straight female nurses too, also nurses from many different ethnic...

  24. Question re:CCRN...

    TraumaNurse replied to gwlillith's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I think you should go ahead and get your CCRN. It may not be "needed" for your CRNA program, but it is a great thing to do for yourself professionally. Plus, studying for it can only add to your...

  25. HELP--UTvs.TCUvs.TWU

    TraumaNurse replied to GeauxFan's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Why the tension b/w the schools? There are 5 CRNA schools in Philly and several of the schools even share some classes in the first 2 semesters. I have seen a lot of mutual respect (As it should be!)...
