    zrmorgan replied to UCDSICURN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  2. Question

    zrmorgan replied to stevierae's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    steavierae- in the OR do you say bilateralsalpingooophorectomy or bso? I personally think it is just another acronym...some of the docs, or the residents get all bent out of shape with the term...

  4. Opinions regarding induction with parents

    zrmorgan replied to Brenna's Dad's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I would hope that policies that are generated would always prioritize the comfort level and discretion of the anesthetist. I don't think I would have a problem including a parent in on induction,...

    zrmorgan replied to FLCRNA2B's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  6. SRNA drop out rates

    zrmorgan replied to FLCRNA2B's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    zrmorgan replied to FLCRNA2B's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    zrmorgan replied to salvati08's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    zrmorgan replied to salvati08's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  11. CRNAs once again defamed...

    zrmorgan replied to dynamiteRN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    they'd probably blame the circulator, or the pre-op nurses, then there would be a "reliable" documentary sold to the public about angels of death or something...I don't blame the docs on this one,...

    zrmorgan replied to zrmorgan's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    zrmorgan replied to calimarinewife's topic in Government, Military

  17. The usefullness of MONOSCOPES

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

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

  22. Roll Call for the Class of 2006

    zrmorgan replied to versatile_kat's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    weve been at it for a semester and a half now...I think the "nervousness" is a good motivator to hit it hard when you arrive in the first semester for the heavy didactic load. i have noticed that the...

  25. Laryngospasm question

    zrmorgan replied to TraumaNurse's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Morgan and Mikhail discusses it a bit (pg 78-79). Saw it used once in the icu. I think it did more to jack the patients sympathetic response then having any laryngo-relaxation effect. It may be...
