RN (CRNA degree from abroad)-> CRNA
Hi everyone, Does anyone know how to transfter educational credits from CRNA abroad to CRNA program here? Any tips, suggestions would be appreciated! The shorter the program the better; I wonder if there are flexible fromgrams that can accept most of my credits? I am working as RN, I have CRNA degree and work experience from abroad, I also was CS educator. But as I understood here to get certified as CRNA one cannot just sit CRNA exam. To do that one needs to complete US CRNA program unlike NCLEX RN. I had no problem doing it under supervision here but cannot since certification was not done. I do not really want to retake full program from scratch. I am ok to be tested, examined, evaluated etc if it can lead to certification. Any suggestions of what to do? please;))

D50 rectal?
it is possible to administer it rectally, and if BP is relatively normal there will be almost the same effect as of IV, and safer. But it is always better to see what are the protocols of treating hypoglycemia.

narcotic orders help needed Legal Qs!?
As a person I would like option A. Bcoz, even if it is rare, it may happen (busy days/ shifts, stress, dot know how to) you can miss something for several times, I believe it is better to do A first, rather than assume that a person is a bad one. but the correct seems to be D. The law sounds like we must assume to see in everyone - lie, stealing, abusive/addictive behavior, sex offending, neglect, drug dealing, felony... hey, where we going? it is crazy))

NM->NJ how to transfer
THANKS! Sure come with me! (sounds good to me). Just before I finally settle down I would like to try different places. I already came to stay with my friend in NY, and we have place to share.)) I assumed that I can do it relatively fast, but now I afraid I stuck. Travel is already pricey for me now. I already was on both web sites of NM and NJ BON. Now I have another question: Is it possible to get a Temporary license in another state while having NM license and while doing endorsement thing? As I know NM is a compact state license. Is that mean if I go to another Compact state (TX for example is a compact state too), CAN I start to work without doing wasting time/money for Endorsement process? I am in trouble(!what a moron), if I have to go all the way down to south; I am already tight in money- if I gotta wait 2 months or more for endorsement. Unless I got to bike to South (I got a bike), if bicycling I can show up at best only by November))) Any smart suggestion will be highly appreciated. Please...

Screenings for Fetal Problems 1st TRIMESTER (Chorionic villis sampling, US scan) 2nd TRIMESTER (AFP screening or Quad Screening,Amniocentesis) 3rd TRIMESTER (kick counts,Nonstress Test,Biophysical Profile, Percutaneous Umbilical Blood sampling, Contraction Stress Test ) Ultrasound screening -can be lady partsl or Abdominal (in latter make Her drink water to fill bladder) -Confirms viability -Indicates fetal presentation -Confirms multiple gestation -Identifies placental location -Measurements can be taken to confirm/estimate gestational age -Identify morphologic anomalies Chorionic villis sampling 8-12 weeks for early diagnosis of genetic, metabolic problems Amniocentesis -13-14 weeks Is done under US scan to obtain a sample of amniotic fluid for direct analysis of fetal chromosomes, development, viability and lung maturity AFP 15-18 weeks-Maternal Blood Drawn AFP also called =Quad marker screening: -maternal serum alpha fetoprotein (MSAFP), -human chorionic gonadotropin (HcG), -unconjugated estriol (UE), -and inhibin A low AFP-Down syndrome high-Spina bifida it is not an absolute test if it is abnormal -further investigation is recommended Kick counts (tests Uretro placental capability) Same time every day mother records how often she feels the fetus move if mininum 3 movements are not noted within an hour's time, the mother is encouraged to call her physician immediately! Nonstress Test checks FHR and mother detects Fetal movements. Contraction Stress Test -tests perfusion between Placenta and Uterus (basically O2 and CO2 exchange) -IV accessed and performed in a labor and deliver unit under electronic fetal monitoring contractions initiated by Pitocin or nipple stimulation the desired result is a "negative" test which consists of three contractions of moderate intensity in a 10 minute period without evidence of late decelerations the test is done to detect problems so if it is Positive (persistent late decelerations ) then-CS how is done: The electronic fetal monitor is placed on the maternal abdomen for 20-30 minutes Each time the fetus moves, FHR should accelerate 15 beats/min above the baseline for 15 seconds A reactive (good) test =>2 accelerations in FHR occur with associated fetal movement Biophysical Profile (BPP) identification of a compromised fetus and consists of 5 components: -fetal breathing movement -fetal movement of the body or limbs -fetal tone (extension or flexion of the limbs) -amniotic fluid volume index (AFI) visualized as of fluid around the fetus -reactive non-stress test each component 0-2, 8-10-desirable. Percutaneous Umbilical Blood sampling -like amniocentesis but cord punctured -chromosomal anomalies, feta karyotyping, and blood disorders Evrywhere where woman's abdomen is punctured informed consent is needed, and risks like amnionitis spontaneous abortion, preterm labor/delivery, and premature rupture of membranes must be explained. If she Rh--she may be RHoGAM given. Everybody have a nice weekend! be more confident and less anxious, and me too) :paw:
