    bucknangler posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  3. Scared to mention even the slightest interest in CRNA progams?

    bucknangler replied to blondielocks's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Who cares about what other people think. A few years ago I stood in front of my nursing class and told the class I was going to be a crna. The haters were among the group, same response within my ICU...

  4. 1460 on GRE and not accepted?

    bucknangler replied to sandmanwife's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I wouldn't appeal it only because CRNA schools are very stubborn. You don't want to make a bad name for yourself next year. Believe it or not, you might be surprised to know the references one uses...

  7. UAB Fall 2010

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

    UAB is a no for me....The Mobile Component only accepted 2 students! Ouch! And may not even take students next year out of Mobile. The interview was poorly set up and they scheduled all 6 interviewees...

    bucknangler replied to backfrom10's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  10. UAB Fall 2010

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

    msrn25, are you from Mississippi? If so, where? I did not apply yet to LSU because I am still in a statistics class and have not received my final transcript from them. I also have an interview with...

    bucknangler posted a topic in MICU, SICU

  14. USM Gulf Coast

    bucknangler replied to Nurse2BSherry's topic in General Nursing

    That is correct, I wish I remembered the program in more depth. Basically, they will pay up to 4500 a year for two years. Then you are obligated to work in Mississippi for two years. ANY WHERE IN THE...

  15. pressors and sepsis

    bucknangler replied to diosadelsol's topic in MICU, SICU

    I agree with all the above plus: The bacteria blocks the neurotransmitter sites in your cardiovascular system that control blood pressure; Levophed (norepi) infused is like throwing a handful of darts...

    bucknangler replied to phoenixfire's topic in MICU, SICU

    "I've been told that I'm not a team player, and that people in general do not like me because I'm aggressive and independant, too focused on the details, and have 'an authoratative tone' when...

  17. How high have you titrated levophed?

    bucknangler replied to racing-mom4's topic in MICU, SICU

    Sounds like you did one hell of a job. What did the monitor show rhythm wise? Obviously you are on heparin for an acute coronary syndrome? I wonder what his EF was? Systolic or Diastolic Dysfunction?...

  18. How high have you titrated levophed?

    bucknangler replied to racing-mom4's topic in MICU, SICU

    A routine use of Levophed is 40-100 mcg/min in some patients? WOW! Where are ya'll getting this information to validate it as policy? And if you use 150 mcg/min of norepi, what is ya'lls...

  19. CCRN Test

    bucknangler replied to luvmylab's topic in MICU, SICU

  21. USM Gulf Coast

    bucknangler replied to Nurse2BSherry's topic in General Nursing

    Quality of the education? That is totally up to the individual. Both programs are good. I work with USA, William Carey, and Southern Mississippi graduates. Like any program, some students excel in the...

  22. ICU experience to become CRNA

    bucknangler replied to LeeBee's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    J Deep 23, You either choose CRNA or AA. You do not have to be an AA to then become a CRNA. AA is governed by the AMA while CRNA's are part of nursing. Since you are working on your BSN you should get...

  24. UAB Fall 2010

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

    JBrock, I don't think students consider the number admitted as to whether or not one should turn in an application...most students rely on the location of the campus. My point was Houston is a VERY...
