    louloubell1 replied to nurse4theplanet's topic in General Nursing

    I have my GED, and will graduate nurse anesthesia school on December 16!

  2. Prerecs for School

    louloubell1 replied to CoCo612's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    The degree obtained for anesthesia school is not necessarily a nursing masters (there are both MS and MSN anesthesia programs), and the GRE is definitely not required by all schools, though it is by...

    louloubell1 replied to SRNA312's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    It's not being given to prevent laryngospasm, but to deal with it if it occurs and isn't broken by positive

  4. Has anyone done only 1 year of critical care out of school then CRNA School?

    louloubell1 replied to 6four230's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Being a tech on the unit isn't going to help you get into anesthesia school any more quickly because it is experience as an RN that is necessary for admission. Not to say that the experience isn't...

  8. Brain Book Advice

    louloubell1 replied to SigmaSRNA's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I have pretty much every PDA anesthesia program I could find, but I also have my "geek book" as I refer to it. My geek book is just stuff I have put together or gathered from different sources. It is...

  9. Anectine/Propofol for LMA insertion

    louloubell1 replied to Zinobile's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I have seen this in my clinical rotations as well, and though sometimes I have had to do it because the CRNA or MDA that I'm with wanted it, I don't think it makes much sense, nor have I noticed that...

  10. ICU Skills checklist as part of my resume?

    louloubell1 replied to SteveNNP's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hi, Steve. I can understand that you feel your experience has been significant and should count. JMHO here, but if the school you are most interested in attending is directing you in a certain way,...

  11. Patients reading their own charts-yay or nay?

    louloubell1 replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

    I apologize in advance, because I'm not normally one of the folks around here that flips out about spelling in posts, but seriously... how can you be a nurse, nursedave907, & you can't spell...

  12. Anyone take out $50,000 per year to live?

    louloubell1 replied to ellarose's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Sorry to hear that kind of thing happened to you. You do know, don't you, that it is your legal right to refuse to be a part of providing services that run contrary to your beliefs. When we were...

  15. Non anesthesia provider providing anesthesia

    louloubell1 replied to EMS/ICU/SRNA's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Okay, Mike, I'm sorry pal, but are your eyes brown, because you are completely full of BS. Please forgive me for the flaming that is about to ensue, but I can hardly stand it anymore. You keep...

  16. How Was It To Start Anesthesia School Because I'm Anxious

    louloubell1 replied to kfinerthings's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    kfinerthings, First, congratulations! I'm a "senior" (as they say) SRNA. I can relate to your feelings. The good news is that you'll soon get over that anxiety; the bad news is that you'll soon get...

  17. Non anesthesia provider providing anesthesia

    louloubell1 replied to EMS/ICU/SRNA's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    MountainCRNA, You make the best point about this whole argument. Statistics, shmatistics. They are patients we are talking about. Real people. One avoidable death, whether "statistically" significant...

  18. Is the AA profession gaining ground?

    louloubell1 replied to Alpha13's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Umm, no. Not at all. I had someone else entirely in mind. Sorry if you thought I was referring to

  19. Is the AA profession gaining ground?

    louloubell1 replied to Alpha13's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I'd rather hear from the "know-it-all-first-year-student" than the not-EVEN-been-accepted-to-a-program-but-somehow-still-manage-to-know-it-all. That's just me

  20. Work While In School?

    louloubell1 replied to MmacFN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    This is the second thread in which you have referred to other people's educations as "lackluster." I'd be more careful about throwing around this cavalier

  21. Work While In School?

    louloubell1 replied to MmacFN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Michelle, The OP is referring to working while in anesthesia school, not undergrad nursing school. Working as a CNA or patient care tech at this point won't do squat for clinical proficiency in...

  22. Sign-up:Nurse Education Loan Repayment Program by March 30,06 deadline

    louloubell1 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You know, I'm wondering the same thing. I won't have my graduate degree until Dec of this year. The way I read it, you need to have already graduated & be practicing at a qualifying facility at...

  23. I can taste that

    louloubell1 replied to monkeyman1000's topic in MICU, SICU

    While in the hospital during my last pregnancy, I had a midline IV catheter placed. Whenever I would get something IVP through that line, I could taste the alcohol from the swipe used to clean the...

  24. Anesthesia Care Plan Book/PDA Program?

    louloubell1 replied to MaleAPRN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I also use the Jaffe book frequently, in conjunction with Anes & Coex disease, and there is a great peds reference I have on my palm that is basically careplans for various procedures. I love that...

  25. propofol

    louloubell1 replied to popbob's topic in Emergency

    Sorry, Cathy, but you need to read up on the definition of conscious sedation. A patient whose only response is grimacing or withdrawal to pain is deeper than conscious sedation. Etomidate is a...
