  1. DO (school) in anesthesiology or CRNA school

    duckboy20 replied to Mantibob's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Actually to get into CRNA school you must have a bachelors degree, at least that is what I have found for most of the

  2. ccrn (and marriage)

    duckboy20 replied to preCRNA's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I am currently in my first year of CRNA school and have only one year of ICU behind me and no CCRN. That said, I know that CCRN does look very very good behind you and I think one reason is that they...

  3. Do you have Malpractice Insurance?

    duckboy20 replied to S.Lunsford RN's topic in General Nursing

    I was taught not to get health insurance unless you are somehow working on your own. After talking to lawyers, I find that the prosecution is going to go after the person with the money. If you have...

  4. Can you believe this?

    duckboy20 replied to LolaRN's topic in General Nursing

    Do use ativan and librium alot but for whatever course of treatment the patient is in for I see some physicians find it easier to prescribe the beer. Seems to be on patients who are not going to be in...

  5. Can you believe this?

    duckboy20 replied to LolaRN's topic in General Nursing

  7. DO (school) in anesthesiology or CRNA school

    duckboy20 replied to Mantibob's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I would also recommend shadowing a crna/md to see if you really like anesthesia before that is what you decide to do. Like they said it is a lot of school either way, what you could do is get your BSN...

  8. Can you believe this?

    duckboy20 replied to LolaRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think this is rediculous, about reminds me of patients who are about to cough out a lung with emphysema and sats in the 80's who demand to have a cigarrette. Sounds like the house supervisor likes...

  10. Question about Pulse Oximetry

    duckboy20 replied to DustinRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Probably the best thing you can do for yourself is to get yourself in shape. I know you are in school and how hectic things are but you have to take care of yourself too. I really do not think you...

  11. Where is the Unity in Nursing

    duckboy20 posted a topic in General Nursing

    It is funny to me how independant nurses are. Many times in the hospitals you find 'aged' nurses who are weary of new nurses and almost hang the new nurse out to dry. On this nursing board I find that...

  12. Question about Pulse Oximetry

    duckboy20 replied to DustinRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Is a lot of your weight in your belly are is it spread out proportioned? If you have a lot of stomach weight then that will make you breath shallower than a person without the weight. This could cause...

    duckboy20 replied to Fesler's topic in General Nursing

    I have worked in Jonesboro in NE Arkansas and in North Little Rock. As an RN my pay when I left Little Rock was roughly 22-23 dollars and hour working night shift. In Jonesboro it was about 5 dollars...

  14. mandatory scrubs?

    duckboy20 replied to NativeTexan's topic in Emergency

    The past two hospitals required mandatory scrub colors, not for each unit, but one for nurses, one for CNA's, etc. No clothing allowance

    I have a friend in CRNA school with me who has Hep B. Definately does not disqualify you from being a nurse! Tell her to go for

    duckboy20 replied to want2bscopergirl's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    want2bscopergirl, I am in my second semester of CRNA school and also think that where you are is good learning. My hospital sounded very similar to yours and I had only one year of icu experience upon...

  17. Where is the Unity in Nursing

    duckboy20 replied to duckboy20's topic in General Nursing

    I guess one of the things that brought this to my attention were these boards. I have seen a lot of flaming going on on here

  20. TWU/TCU Clinical Sites

    duckboy20 replied to TraumaMaster's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    USMC, you have the opportunity to pick I think your top 3 choices but they ultimately have the decision on where you go. Sometimes you have the opportunity to switch clinical site with someone if they...

    duckboy20 replied to ufblondi's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Like Orphan Nurse said, the goals of anesthesia are no pain, no rememberance, and physiological homeostasis. Also muscle relaxation depending on the procedure performed. There is not one drug that can...

    duckboy20 replied to Uptoherern's topic in Emergency

    VEETACH, I think you have serious issues. Every time I have seen you reply to someone who might not agree with you you just attack them. I am a CRNA with 3 yrs ER experience and 1 year ICU experience....

  23. CRNA reject... NP school here we come?

    duckboy20 replied to TMnurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Actually in most areas CRNA's are in a sense supervised by MDA's. At least right now it seems that only in rural areas where MDA's would not go are there CRNA's on their own. It may be like that in...

  24. Question re:CCRN...

    duckboy20 replied to gwlillith's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I got lucky and got in without having the CCRN, but I do know it looks exceptionally well behind your name. I would highly recommend it to you. Where are you applying
