  1. another eager student c questions

    louloubell1 replied to luv your nurse's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Wow. It's interesting that they would think that way. I mean, I was a bit shy of a 4.0; had a 3.91 cummulative undergrad GPA instead. I was not "booksmart" and lacking in clinical abilities. I also...

    louloubell1 replied to chartleypj's topic in General Nursing

    That's interesting. I recently had surgery, and post-op I got morphine and demerol occassionally which actually gave me hiccups for about a half an hour afterwards. The percocet they sent me home with...

  8. LPN demand in St. Louis, MO??

    louloubell1 replied to Roozeyk's topic in General Nursing

    I was about to say NO WAY. I mean, seriously, for a two week assignment (with 40 hour weeks) that's $162 roughly per hour. I highly doubt it, HOWEVER, there is a nursing strike going on at one of our...

  9. Potassium piggybacks

    louloubell1 replied to starcandy's topic in General Nursing

  13. Questions for CRNA's working in rural areas

    louloubell1 replied to cabbage patch rn's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I think that, and just MHO here, it depends on what it was that you hated about the ICU. I mean if it was the stress and the high-tech kind of care of critically ill patients that's one thing; but if...

    louloubell1 replied to heatherbless's topic in General Nursing

    Along the lines of what mjlrn said, it is very easy to make your own avatar if you don't find one that pleases you amongst the millions available for free on the internet. You can use any graphics...

  16. cheapest place to get a littman (other than ebay)?

    louloubell1 replied to shay's topic in General Nursing

    I bought a master cardiology from allheart not too long ago. Good price on it, PLUS , and this was a big deal to me, they had an option to have your name sort of engraved on the tubing. That is so...

    louloubell1 replied to blee1's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  21. Do all of your vented pt's get restrained?

    louloubell1 replied to JHUBRAIN's topic in MICU, SICU

    A few self-extubations is a few too many if you ask me. Any one of them can go horribly bad, and quickly too. Having trained people nearby to reintubate is just one factor, bluesky. Self-extubation...

  23. Vioxx recall??

    louloubell1 replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

    I know I'm a ninny, but this Vioxx recall is a prime example of why I am totally leary of taking any drug which has been on the market for less than 10-12 years. It's scary what some of this stuff...

    louloubell1 replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

    I am in grad school now, and have been told by instructors that the advanced assessment students used to have to practice pelvic exams on one another. It's my opinion that forcing you to take on the...
