  1. "When Anesthesia Fails" on Discovery Health Channel

    Sarah Kat posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Did anyone see this show on DHC? It premiered tonight at 10pm (I am just watching it now). I think the woman they focused on is the author of "Silenced Screams". The concept of anesthesia awareness...

  2. After a Grand Mal.....

    Sarah Kat replied to P_RN's topic in General Nursing

    My brother has had epilepsy since birth (he had brain trauma during birth) and had seizures often when he was little. Once after a seizure he called my mom a monster and threw a dining room chair at...

  4. Excelsior College

    Sarah Kat replied to beckyf's topic in General Nursing

    Here's a direct link in case you have trouble finding it. You may want to go back (further than the past 5 days) to see all of the discussion. Welcome Becky and I hope you find the info useful. I...

  5. ? about Marijuana

    Sarah Kat replied to Wolfbeareagle's topic in General Nursing

    I think that maybe your friend wasn't clean for as long as he says. It is possible, but if he was, then he would have to have been a heavy chronic marijuana user. A search on google for "drug test...

  6. Pain Medicine for a dying patient ...

    Sarah Kat replied to Tweety's topic in Pain Management

  10. We tell the student nurses to run for their lives."

    Sarah Kat replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing

    I have never been satisfied in any job I had so far (all non nursing). That's why I am going to go back to school to be a nurse. Maybe I won't be satisfied, but there's a lot more room for...

  11. BSN sophomore standing for CRNA apps

    Sarah Kat replied to MJB's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    IMHO it's important to honor your parents, but in the end, you live your life, they don't. I went to school when I wasn't ready and studied a subject I wasn't really interested in and was bored beyond...

  12. Marijuana and Breast Feeding ????

    Sarah Kat replied to Lela RN's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, a mandated reporter has to report anything whether you are on duty or not. It's a 24/7

  13. Did you have to go the scenic route to complete nursing school?

    Sarah Kat replied to szccdw's topic in General Nursing

    I was a psych major straight outta college (psych is kinda like undecided nowadays I think) in 1995. I was working 30 hrs a week supporting a deadbeat abusive boyfriend and taking 15 hrs of classes....

  14. Anyone else terrified for your parents/loved ones?

    Sarah Kat replied to nervousnurse's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    My dad got LTC insurance. It's really expensive, but it will allow him to stay in his home and have a home health nurse. He's in good health now, and that's a ways away, but he's being honest with...

  15. New Federal Regulation limits hours worked

    Sarah Kat replied to P_RN's topic in General Nursing

  16. Plans for the New Year?

    Sarah Kat replied to barefootlady's topic in General Nursing

    I start my LPN program on Jan 26th. I also plan to lose the weight I gained when I quit smoking last June (last year's resolution:D ). Hubby and I are going to join the Y to work out. I'd like to...

  17. Kids and violent computer games

    Sarah Kat replied to MrsWampthang's topic in Psychiatric

    My husband and I are both a part of the video game generation. We still play games now. I am generally a very easy going loving person, but when I get stressed, it's nice to blow off steam by...

  18. Marijuana and Breast Feeding ????

    Sarah Kat replied to Lela RN's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly, the drinking worries me more than the marijuana use. My father's cousin was a FAS baby and he spent his entire life in an institution because of severe retardation. A good friend of mine...

  19. BSN sophomore standing for CRNA apps

    Sarah Kat replied to MJB's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Yeah, ditto! Yeah, and working 84 hrs a week (which is literally HALF the hours in a week) can endanger those people as well as yourself and your license. It can be done, but I imagine it...

  20. Empoyers Who Request Credit Reports!!!

    Sarah Kat replied to Euskadi1946's topic in General Nursing

    What a great idea... but then again, it wouldn't be in the best interest of the credit bureaus, and they are the ones that matter, not us. Heaven forbid we have that much control over our credit...

  21. Empoyers Who Request Credit Reports!!!

    Sarah Kat replied to Euskadi1946's topic in General Nursing

    Well, at least one benefit of having bad credit is no one wants to steal your

  22. New Grads in the ED (?)

    Sarah Kat replied to Evelyn2003's topic in Emergency

    I second this. Not to mention a few here are close to a TOS violation. Maybe we can all calm down a bit before the mods say

  23. Divorce & Nursing

    Sarah Kat replied to NorthStar's topic in General Nursing

    I am thankful my parents got divorced when they did. In fact, it's a shame it took them so long. I think it is more traumatizing to a child to have their parents constantly arguing (and when not...
