Hello everyone, Good afternoon. I want to know from PACU nurses the type of in-services classes you have in your facility? What are the topics that you think need to be included in an inservice series for PACU nurses? If you are a PACU educator, what...

Any allnurses.comm members any input regarding this certification by The American Nurses Credentialing Center? Any tips on what book to study and what to focus on? Thanks a lot.

For those who passed and are studying for the exam, Any review books you recommend? Thanks

Me too

I'm glad you mentioned this. I see nursing students doing clinicals in my hospital and I am very surprise at the levels pharmacology is taught in school. I agree that most are below average in terms of pharmacokinetics. I have listened to some of the...

I have the same dilemma as you have. I want to teach online BSN courses. I would say I have expertise in Pharmacology and Physiology as well as Critical Care however, I am having hard time finding one. I have looked into the U of P but now nursing fa...

NOT TRUE!

2025 as mentioned by previous poster. There are 2 DNAP programs (VCU and Wesleyan) and one DMPNA (West Virginia). A few DNPs (TCU,U of Pitsburg). visit http://www.aana.com and look for accredited programs so far there are 108 and growing... Each scho...

Hi, Try UT Telecampus. I took a grad level on line prior to my DNAP and I was not dissappointed.

im just curious.... why do we ask questions like this in exams? most of the hospitals in us have infusion pumps. and most drugs are mixed by pharmacy which includes how fast you run the drug. i understand calculating for dose yes.. i rechecked my dos...

I know TCU and U of Pittsburg offer DNP for CRNAs. Texas Wesleyan University and Virginia Commonwealth University offer DNAP.

Your latest post indicated your started 2009. Does that mean you are going back to CRNA school?

Learning is a continous process my friend. I love to learn new things. Nope, actually these were credentials I wanted for so long but could not afford to take ( they are expensive you know ) but now, I can afford them. Also, Im still active in critic...

Bump! Any takers?

Maybe it just so happen that your current patients are all hypothyroid. One of the essential components of HF is cardiac remodelling. Increasing thyroid hormone thru an exogenous mean may increase ventricular wall thickness which will worsen HF.

Yes, it is a common intervention for a vasopressor refractory hyotension mostly seen in induction during coronary artery bypass. Many studies in the past decades concluded the effectiveness of the agent and the post operative course has been signific...

Two of my classmates who went to VA for clinicals were not employee of VA. They got stipend from the hospital. If you are talking about schorlarship, I don't think VA offered one. Baylor used to offer 2 anesthesiology scholarship per year but stopped...

Thank you so much for these info. You have a great day. T.

Yes, I am. I am still directly involved in critical care education. I spend some of my free time doing lectures and hemodynamics training. That if I have enough free time left. DNAP is harder than I thought with a full time job. CV anesthesia is chal...

I just read your post. Very interesting. Now, I have a question... do you know where i can get funding for DNAP? I work full time but it would be nice to find scholarship for DNAP. I know it was hard to find scholarship for my MSNA, would DNAP be the...

Really??? cool... only 129? wow...

Three clinical sites from TWU offers clinical stipend not much but good enough. Colton, VA in Dallas and Dener Health.

May I suggest the ACTc by gasshead.com. I wish I had this application when I was in school. Also, skyscape has tons of anesthesia softwares you can use. Enjoy your clinical rotation....

Just type A personality. Grins.

Just an advice... Stay in Washington and get you to nursing school here. Our program in RP is 4 years BSN unless it was changed. No offense to my alma mater, I am proud to be a product but that was 18 years ago and reading all the changes here will b...
