    Passin' Gas replied to trakstar's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    It's definitely not going to work if it's in your pocket! :chuckle Be adventurous, use it. On a non-paralyzed patient, spontaneously breathing, often they will take a deep breath or breath-hold when...

  11. National Guard activation during school

    Passin' Gas replied to genral's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Passin' Gas replied to SRNACHIC's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Correct me if I'm wrong are-in. I interpreted your question as an attempt to glean from the prospective SRNAs if they would consider going through all the hard work, dedication, and self-sacrifice...

  17. How do CRNAs/SRNAs benefit anesthesiology residents?

    Passin' Gas replied to HawaiiRN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    At the risk of destroying a cliche....you can't know another one's life until you've walked in his/her moccasins....or something like that. And in the novel tradition of LONG posts: The art of...

    Passin' Gas replied to armynursewannabe's topic in Government, Military
