  2. Alternative Loans - here's what I've found

    MBCRNA replied to ArkyCCRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    In response to the initial loans offered back in 2005, there are near none at this time for private student loans that not certified and that do not count in COA. If anyone has any luck with getting...

  3. Alternative Loans - here's what I've found

    MBCRNA replied to ArkyCCRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I can tell you so far that Suntrust states COA-financial aid. Unknown if disbursed to borrower or if it is school certified. Bank of America isn't providing private student Loans at this

    Anyone remember when we are supposed to hear something?

  11. 2 questions???

    MBCRNA replied to night_owl_504's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I have yet to see a program that is less than 27 months and more than 36. There isn't a difference. Some are front-loaded and some are not. Front-loaded programs allow you to take the didactic...

  12. Which ICU is BEST for Nurse Anesthesia???

    MBCRNA replied to SIGMACHIGUY's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I think either CVICU or Trauma ICU are strong areas. CVICU would be a great area b/c you have the cardiovascular issues. Most of the trauma patients are pre/post surgical but have good hearts....

  13. Looking into nursing ---> CRNA

    MBCRNA replied to revolution's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    There are some programs that allow you to have a BS in another field and you can have an ADN (nursing)- otherwise you'll have to obtain the BSN (Bachelor's of Nursing) degree. You should...

  14. Sinus Brady vs. Junctional?

    MBCRNA replied to Virgo_RN's topic in Cardiac

    I realize that you said the p waves march out, but with BBB it is the QRS that is wide (>0.12). You're not confusing this- are you or you saying you know for sure it wasn't BBB (based on the fact...

  15. Nurses Defibrillating???

    MBCRNA replied to rgroyer1RNBSN's topic in MICU, SICU

    Yes, ALL nurses should be able to defibrillate. CPR with AED training (REQUIRED) for this purpose. Research has shown time and time again how important defibrillation is. Just lke a prior post...

  16. New to CCU and need advice on good resource guide and drug book!

    MBCRNA replied to mommymartinRN2b's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    I really like Robin Donohoe Dennison's Pass CCRN!. It is a CCRN review book but very informative regarding important info on ICU patients. I do not own a drug book, but I like the Lexicomp's...

  18. Sinus Brady vs. Junctional?

    MBCRNA replied to Virgo_RN's topic in Cardiac

    How about sinus bradycardia with PJCs and BBB. BBB is common with MIs... I know you said the P waves were regular but if some of the ps were buried in the QRSs and others weren't there's no way that...

  19. Should i have questioned this order?

    MBCRNA replied to traumaguy8's topic in MICU, SICU

    Yep, it sounds like flash pulmonary edema. His LV probably couldn't keep things moving in the right direction. It sounds like he might've had some LV dysfunction. If he was also in afib at the...

    MBCRNA replied to love-d-OR's topic in MICU, SICU

    Just as others in the previous posts stated, you really look at the overall picture. But to put a number to your question, I don't believe I have every taken care of anyone that was below 35...

  21. ?? re: giving drugs through a maintenence infusiong

    MBCRNA replied to jamst149's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    I understand your question. You want to know how fast the medication is reaching the patient and how long does it take the entire pain med etc to infuse in (and over what time period). Okay, it...

  22. Supervisor will not write recommendation letter until 1.5 years on the job

    MBCRNA replied to DrugReptoNurse's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    You seem to have more than enough recommendations. What I would suggest is exactly what you are asking. I think you should not worry about getting a recommendation from the unit director. You can...

  23. K+ levels: fingerstick or venous. help,,,

    MBCRNA replied to cured's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    Fingerstick can definately be inaccurate from hemolysis or clot. I have had it happen many times. You'll have to obtain a venous sample or maybe run it on an I-stat via ABG

  24. When EXACTLY does your ICU experience begin???

    MBCRNA replied to SIGMACHIGUY's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist
