  1. pregnant and crna school?

    jewelcutt replied to rayraycrna2b's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    We've had a couple students get pregnant during school and they get time off but have to work hard to make it up. One girl delivered a preemie (the risks of anesthesia) and had to take six weeks off...

  2. SRNA's!!! How hard is it being a student!?!!

    jewelcutt replied to miloisstinky's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I find it the most in the OR/preop/pacu how unprofessional everyone is. Back in the ICU we nurses were regarded as the "*****es" of the hospital even though we treated and expected to be treated with...

  3. Nurses cannot take orders from MA's, what is your protocol?

    jewelcutt replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I get sooooo tired of medical assistants calling themselves nurses! I actually saw a comercial for ross or something like it in the detroit area where the girl always had two dreams "To become a...

  4. Congratulations to...

    jewelcutt replied to Kiwi's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Congrats Craig! I've watched a few on this board go through school and graduate and I'm so elated for all. Now get on with a great life and stay away from the computer until your vacation is

  5. Patient with awareness

    jewelcutt replied to Mana_Tangata's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Dutchgirl, I think what was flaming about your post is the very article you chose to post, whether you intentionally meant to do it or not. With all the thousands of articles on recall (including the...

  6. Patient with awareness

    jewelcutt replied to Mana_Tangata's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    The resting heart rate really had nothing to do with recall, the amount of exhaled anesthetic is how we monitor and prevent recall. An increased HR could mean multiple things (I was asked once to...

  7. DOCTORATE for CRNA's?

    jewelcutt replied to VickyRN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    They're in the process of developing a DNP at my school, but I have to say I'm not really interested in it. The reason being is that it has a lot of nursing theory, more research, and stuff I don't...

  8. Formula For Air/o2, No2/o2 Mixtures

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

    Yeah, that's how I learned it also. It's easier to calculate N2o with O2 because N2O doesn't contain any O2 so ratios are easy to determine. I just thought it out a little bit. In order to have...

  9. Single SRNAs..

    jewelcutt replied to rn29306's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I agree totally! This semester I feel I haven't been studying as much because we simply have class less, clinical more, and more anesthesia plans to do. But you can't get behind with studying. It...

  10. premedication vs. conscious sedation

    jewelcutt replied to SWAT_RN's topic in Radiology

    Especially when it comes to situations where there is use of sedation and risk of respiratory depression, conscious sedation should only be administered by those qualified. Docs never want this...

  11. Single SRNAs..

    jewelcutt replied to rn29306's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I have to tell you, my friends and I, we have the hardest time living poor :chuckle. My classmates and I are always saying "That's it, I'm really gonna cut down on my spending" BULL. You get so...

  12. Single SRNAs..

    jewelcutt replied to rn29306's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I'm 25 and I date, just none that are really interesting. Don't get me wrong, I don't sit at home all the time, the whole routine just gets kind of boring after a while. Plus I think the weather has...

  13. Single SRNAs..

    jewelcutt replied to rn29306's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Emerald, try living in the suburbs of detroit. It's no ghetto, in fact very nice but there's really not much to do in detroit downtown. I hang out a lot in the suburbs but i have to say it's not...

  14. MSN or MSNA for future Doctorate

    jewelcutt replied to jrec's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I did know they've created a doctorate in NP but I wasn't aware they were dropping the DNSc. I always thought the DNSc was a good option for those that didn't want to do a ton of research and stay...

  15. MSN or MSNA for future Doctorate

    jewelcutt replied to jrec's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    You can always get a DNSc and teach, and don't forget that by 2015 years they want all CRNAs to be entry level clinical doctorates. There are plenty of MS CRNAs that teach anyway and probably get...

  16. Single SRNAs..

    jewelcutt replied to rn29306's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Absolutely not, everyone is pulling their own weight. You will notice in anesthesia school that the students in general keep their mouths shut, instructors don't like people that complain or try to...

  17. Single SRNAs..

    jewelcutt replied to rn29306's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Oh my god!! I got a kitten because I was so lonely and he's like my whole life. Alll I think about is the old woman who lives with her cats, god I hope that won't be me. You know the type, always...

  18. Single SRNAs..

    jewelcutt replied to rn29306's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I know exactly how everyone feels. I started out as 1 out of 2 single people in my class but that number is now 5 since school does really test the relationship. I too am tired of everyone claiming...

  19. Bedside surgery with no sedation

    jewelcutt replied to Kiwi's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Unfortunately, residents and surgeons don't know the field of anesthesia, how to give it, what options are available. All they have is narcotics, sedatives for procedures where patient's aren't...

  20. research/teaching as a CRNA

    jewelcutt replied to meredithxm's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I think it would be a great idea for you to go into anesthesia, there is so much research that needs to be done, and only 1% of anesthesia providers are phd prepared or teachers. We absolutely need...

  21. ETOH abuse and MAC

    jewelcutt replied to versatile_kat's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I'm just vaguely trying to pull it from my head but I think it has to do with an up regulation and drug metabolizing

  22. Day in the life

    jewelcutt replied to NeuroNP's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Apais, once you get used to studying for long hours it really becomes second nature, I don't have any commitments anyways (kids, husband, work) and without work it's like a job, you have nothing but...

  23. Anesthesia Techs

    jewelcutt replied to NeuroNP's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    There's actually another thread on this board regarding this topic, it's only a few down and explains it pretty well. Anyway, I love our techs, we spend a day in the workroom with them during school...

  24. Considering a tubal...

    jewelcutt replied to BRANDY LPN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Crap! I had a total brain fart and didn't even realize what she was asking :chuckle , I think I'm just really tired from clinical today and desparately need a drink :beer: Anyway, I know at my...

  25. Considering a tubal...

    jewelcutt replied to BRANDY LPN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I don't think it has anything to do with failure of procedure or not, there are however, a thousand different ways to do anesthesia. There are people who are afraid of general, and those that...
