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

    Okay, lets see if I can answer your question somewhat... CVP is the pressure from the Right ventricle (preload) excluding tricuspid valvular issues, pulmonary issues, or RV MI. PAWP (or in your case...

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

    Could be a high grade AV block (not 3rd degree) with escape beats or you could've had a sinus block or sinus arrest with escape beats. Its hard to say bc I can't see the strip. Look those up I...

    I think your application will look strong. Your gpas are great. It sounds like you are getting great experience. At your interview you should stress the drips you use and the code team experience....

  10. HELP please! Your thoughts on applying?!

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

    I think all but your gpa sounds absolutely great. The fact that you have made a 4.0 in ADN program proves that you are more serious and a better candidate. What is left to prove? You need to prove...

  13. EKG and Axis

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

    Another thing to add, there are 4 quadrants with axis deviation: normal is both deflections (QRS) in lead I and aVF are positive; right axis deviation would be if lead I is downward and the QRS in...

  14. Should I switch ICU's for CRNA school?

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

    You could always cross-train to the CVRR/CVICU and pick up a shift a week or so. I am not sure what to tell you regarding the recommendation. It depends on how your manager feels about you and you...

    MBCRNA posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I have been preparing to apply to CRNA school for about 4 yrs now. I had all of my recommendations, paid the app fee, wrote essay, etc and was notified that for the application for starting July 2009...

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

    Right, I have already taken the GRE now. Also, I already have the CCRN (since last August) and just obtained the subspecialty CMC too. UT did require the GRE up until a few years ago and then...

    Thank you for your reply. I am ready to make this change without a doubt. I hope to be interviewed and accepted at UT. It is my first choice. Thanks

  19. CCRN or Organic Chem?

    MBCRNA replied to CVICU05's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    GREAT...You're above 3.0. I believe if you show strengths in other areas- you'll prob be ok. If you made a B+ and an A. That is a good sign. I think with your gpa- you'll be fine as long as you...

  20. CMC subspecialty exam this Thurs

    MBCRNA posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hi all. I have posted on here quite a few times and happy to say that I am finally applying this year to CRNA school. I have the CCRN certification and thought it might be an extra plus to obtain...

  21. CCRN or Organic Chem?

    MBCRNA replied to CVICU05's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Ok. This is a good question. I think the CCRN will weigh well, but your gpa is on the low side. The question is this: You could get the CCRN and it won't be detrimental, but if you fail or make a...

  22. What would you do for this patient?

    MBCRNA replied to UM Review RN's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    It would be interesting to know her TRUE rhythm. It is very likely that her BP was directly related to her HR/rhythm. She most likely had an underlying Heart failure that couldn't tolerate the...

  23. ARDS criteria formula

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

    First, paO2 is not a % it is mmhg. So this is what is messing u up. 60/1.0= 60 (way below 200) Another good tidbit of info: Expected PaO2 based on Fio2 (Fio2 % x 6) -PaCO2 So, if you would like to...

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

    Thank you for your reply. I am trying to pinpoint my weaknesses to do good on the exam this Thurs. I am good with rhythms, but I am a little weak with axis. Are there a lot of axis questions?...
