  1. Rec letter

    putmetosleep replied to putmetosleep's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate it. I guess what I really need to do is just find out what the school wants me to do. There is no assistant nurse manager on that unit, so I'm not even...

  2. CCRN exam

    putmetosleep replied to jls189's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    You can get the Laura Gasparis DVDs at www.greatnurses.com Not cheap, but definitely worth the $$--she gets to the point and teaches you what you need to know for the test. Good

  3. Pre-anesthesia Chemistry

    putmetosleep replied to jdiekhof's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    WOW, that class (Barry ANE 695) is expensive!! Took me by surprise, I guess. I just looked it up, it's actually a 3 credit self paced course, they say it takes appx 45 hours to complete, and costs...

  4. CCRN exam

    putmetosleep replied to jls189's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I took it in March and passed. I studied (lightly) for about 2 months total, but really started digging into the study materials about 1 month before the exam. It is definitely tough, but it's not...

  5. Online Organic Chemistry Class

    putmetosleep replied to CaslaRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Thank you! The Berkley course looks perfect, and it's a little more reasonably priced than the UNE course. Thanks

  6. What's competitive?

    putmetosleep replied to MedicineMan23's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    GPA should be competitive--especially in the science courses--most programs I've looked into require at least a 3.3 GPA, but many of the applicants have GPAs much higher than that--it all depends on...

  7. Online Organic Chemistry Class

    putmetosleep replied to CaslaRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  11. which ICU?

    putmetosleep replied to poppy07's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Agree with the previous poster. Any ICU that will give you a variety of cases, vent management, experience with lots of gtts and titrating them. Typically I think you'd get great experience with all...

  12. St. Mary's Mpls Interview

    putmetosleep posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hi, Wondering if there's anyone who's interviewed at St. Mary's in Minneapolis, and/or any current students or grads of the St. Mary's CRNA program? I'm looking for insight into their program from...

  13. A day in the life...

    putmetosleep replied to hell000nurse's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    This is a great thread. I'd love to hear from some others about their day-to-day lives and how you balance school and the rest of your lives (although I realize the "rest of your lives" takes a back...

    putmetosleep replied to mnhawki's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    putmetosleep replied to mnhawki's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I still haven't received a letter yet....I'm really hoping now that I don't get one and am praying for a phone call instead! Last year, I got the "sorry you have not been selected for an interview"...

  17. 4 hour code blue

    putmetosleep replied to Morettia2's topic in General Nursing

    If the patient had IVF running, wouldn't you want to give the Epi IV regardless of poor venous access (since he already has an IV in place)--better absorption and more predictable distribution of Epi...

    putmetosleep posted a topic in Flight, Surface Transport

    Sorry for the ignorance, I just don't really know what flight nursing is--can you expain for me? I know it's more emergency situations, but that' about the extent. Curious to know more about it!...

  20. RN doing conscious sedation non-intubated patient

    putmetosleep replied to Surgerygirl's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    To me, having a ACLS certification should be a job requirement for RNs practicing in an area where they are expected to give conscious sedation. Doesn't make sense to me. Yes, I think you are right,...

  21. St. Mary's Mpls Interview

    putmetosleep replied to putmetosleep's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Anyone?

  22. Yes. another ECG question

    putmetosleep replied to poohbear1968's topic in General Nursing

    You may want to invest in an EKG interpretation book (you can find them anywhere, Amazon.com has them for reasonable prices) if you're learning on your own. It'll give you some background information...

  25. RN doing conscious sedation non-intubated patient

    putmetosleep replied to Surgerygirl's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I totally agree with this poster. It is in the scope of practice for an RN to administer conscious sedation (usually meaning Versed and Fentanyl), as long as they have proven competency and are ACLS...
