    My_brain_hurts replied to OneTraumaRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I have an interview at Baylor! got the e-mail a couple of days ago. I think deep down I really thought there was no chance in you-know-where that I would get one there. I know its a good school,...

    My_brain_hurts replied to OneTraumaRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    My_brain_hurts replied to Sheena's Mom's topic in General Nursing

    I'm guessing you mean veteran's affairs and not a hospital in virginia? :) I think no. of pts depends on what area you work in, and maybe what state (?). I know in ICUs, well, most of them, you have...

  5. Tell or DON'T tell colleagues/staff that you are pursuing CRNA?

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

    Hmmm. . . here's how I see it. You're just starting out, CRNA application is AT LEAST 6months away if not a year. A lot can change between now and then, so it's really nobody's business but yours...

    My_brain_hurts replied to skmccrn's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I got Kaplan books and was happy with my score. I couldn't see dishing out $1000 for a Kaplan review course. I'm no genius, and math isn't my thing, but I study well and just felt I needed some...

    My_brain_hurts replied to msjessegirl's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    My_brain_hurts replied to msjessegirl's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  13. Pre-filled saline syringes and checking central line blood return

    My_brain_hurts replied to greenterra's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I think I understand. Original post is asking about sterility of the inside of the barrel when the part you use to push the med in (the "stem" of plunger. . .?) is touched? in clinical lab we were...

  14. I bet you don't see this every day.

    My_brain_hurts replied to vashtee's topic in General Nursing

    I had a similar situation. I several students in clinical felt instructor was unreasonably difficult, "had it out for them", etc. I could see where they were coming from though I never witnessed this...

  15. what is there to be afraid of?

    My_brain_hurts replied to angelstrings's topic in General Nursing

    awemom8, I'm so sorry. No amount of money/compensation will ever be enough when all you want is your loved one back. Sounds like you are able to support your family and spend time with them, and that...

    My_brain_hurts replied to carachel2's topic in General Nursing

    My_brain_hurts replied to iamhere's topic in General Nursing

    My_brain_hurts replied to iamhere's topic in General Nursing

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

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

    I work in a combined cardiac/medical ICU at a level 1 trauma center. We get a fair amount of pt's with vasoactive drips, and currently I think about 12 of our 18 beds vented (ah, it's that time of...

  20. Average GRE

    My_brain_hurts replied to gluck's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Yeah I have no idea that a "good" GRE score is. I got a 1200. . . I'll have about 20 months ICU experience when/if I get in this year. I've applied with just over a year's experience. My nursing GPA...
