  1. Day in the life

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

    Yeah, if I didn't have morning report to attend it would be later, believe me. I wake up at five am and whatever time I get there is okay with me, some days I take way longer. I'd say most of the...

  3. Earpiece question.

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

    Thanks air, I actually mean that my beeper, badge, and especially stehoscope holder pull my pants down, ha! Everything else I keep in a small bag and my scrub coat, it does get bloody cold in the...

  4. Is anyone in a Post-Master's Certificate Program?

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

    Oakland's program has a post master's certificate and you wouldn't have to take the extra nursing courses

  5. Earpiece question.

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

    I have heard of an increased incidence in ear infections. Personally, I find my soft earpiece uncomfortable after a while, my ear aches and it becomes difficult to get the damn thing in my ear after...

  6. I'm in!

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

    I am so happy for you!! I know you thought you wouldn't get in but your stats are excellent, so I knew you would. Now you're going to look back on everything and wonder what you ever worried for....

  7. What is up with CRNA/AA/MDA politics.

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

    I've tried introducing myself several different ways (mainly just for fun to see which one I like best), whether it be anesthesia student, nurse anesthesia student, part of anesthesia team, or...

  8. Student Loans

    jewelcutt replied to aithug316's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    You don't make payments while in school and with many loans won't have to pay until six months after

  9. Student Loans

    jewelcutt replied to aithug316's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I have two friends that just graduated, they had 40000 in undergrad loans coming into the program and had no problem at all getting more loans. Bottom line is this: in grad school you can get as much...

  10. Student Loans

    jewelcutt replied to aithug316's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I agree that the teri graduate loan is great, I have two friends who suggested it to me. My one suggestion is if you are still working, apply for it before school and you won't need a cosigner, if...

  11. RSI meds

    jewelcutt replied to thanatos's topic in Emergency

    Just curious you guys, are you actually talking about a true rapid sequence induction or regular intubating? I'm assuming since they're ER patients all should be considered an aspiration risk and...

  12. Why would an anesthesia provider do this?

    jewelcutt replied to AmiK25's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    In most cases, people don't do things to make it harder on others. There may have been other circumstances, perhaps the anesthesia provider thought it was old, or perhaps they just weren't thinking...

  13. Be-littling CRNA's

    jewelcutt replied to forane2001's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I think this is just another situation where one side doesn't see the other, both the PACU RN and SRNA/CRNA are busy and have certain responsibilities. Whenever there is overlap in care some people...

  14. Why Mayo CRNA program is not top rated?

    jewelcutt replied to WestCoastRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'm amazed that the director actually told you that. Trust me, you're better off anyway. good

  15. Open Heart Unit interview

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

    I don't think I would pass on an acceptance until the year afterwards. In fact, unless there was a pregnancy or death in the family, I don't know many people that would wait. I've had two friends...

  16. Nervous about 1st day in OR

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

    My senior buddy taught me the 1234 rule for induction drugs and that's how I remembered them. Of course this isn't always the exact dose, but in the range anyhow. 1mg/kg- Ketamine 2mg/kg- Propofol...

  17. Finally time for a break ...

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

    Now that finals are over we're in clinicals 5x a week, I'm more tired now then I was with class and clinical 2x a week. Oh well, at least we get a week off for christmas and new years. I think I'm...

    Hey gaspassah, Everyone in our class wonders what it would be like to have Nagelhout as a director! We love him, how is it like having him as director? I'm a first year at Oakland, I love the...

  21. Left alone in OR

    jewelcutt posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  23. ? regarding CRNA programs

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

    I think that there is a real variety of front loaded programs to begin with. UD Mercy has a front loaded program where you don't start clinical until second semester and I believe it's one day a...

  24. what am i doing wrong?

    jewelcutt replied to kjt2004's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Just before my interviews I actually became really calm. I realized that if I didn't make it in that year it was okay, a lot of people wouldn't make it in. I realized that I wanted it so badly that...

  25. Cincinnati-the wait is over!

    jewelcutt replied to AmiK25's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    It's funny how time flies, in fact I believe it was just yesterday that I was accepted into my program, but wait the first semester is just about over. Congratulations to all of you!!! This is...
