  1. Milrinone: Anyone used this?

    Diprivan/Vented posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I got a really good chance to use this the other day, and let me say this thing just boggles my mind. Do you guys love this as much as I do, or do you prefer another

  2. OB ethical dilemma-need some advice

    Diprivan/Vented replied to Jedav's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    This scenario was brought up to us as nursing students, and the final conclusion was that you cannot withhold care simply because your morals go against it. This is because your primary function is as...

  3. Out of my scope - NEED HELP!!!!!!

    Diprivan/Vented replied to militaryRN's topic in MICU, SICU

    Yeah, I think being fired is really extreme. How long have you worked there? If it was a short period of time, I'd say be thankful and use those unemployment benefits to your advantage. Just in case...

  4. HELP--UTvs.TCUvs.TWU

    Diprivan/Vented replied to GeauxFan's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I don't advise going to UT-Houston. I talked with the director, and he was a complete asshole. He answered my questions with "Go online and look for it" or "Well just go ahead and apply." I know the...

  5. OR Nurses Giving Conscious Sedation--WHY SHOULD WE?

    Diprivan/Vented replied to stevierae's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Do you like phenylephrine that much? I've used it a number of times, and I just didn't like the feel of it although the anesthesia counterparts seemed to like it. I much rather prefer

  6. OR Nurses Giving Conscious Sedation--WHY SHOULD WE?

    Diprivan/Vented replied to stevierae's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    So nurses should be trained to intubate. We should be also be allowed to start central lines and

  7. Baby born with extra head

    Diprivan/Vented replied to hoolahan's topic in General Nursing

    Does anyone know what the baby died from? I'm guess from hemorrhage, but does anyone know for

  8. Baylor College med student competition

    Diprivan/Vented replied to tenkev's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    James Walker is a completely nice guy. I went and talked with him in person, and he was absolutely nice, didn't rush me, wasn't rude to me, answered all my questions honestly, and then asked me if I...

  9. liver failure and LR

    Diprivan/Vented replied to CRHSrn's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Tenesma: I hear differing opinions on D5, with some sources saying that the body uses up the dextrose too fast for it to be considered hyperosmolar. Your

  10. Xigris use and CVVH

    Diprivan/Vented replied to richard13's topic in MICU, SICU

    Pts with sepsis have a coagulopathy problem. They start forming clots. (That's why your CVVH machine clots so easily). This is where Xigris comes into the picture. Xigris helps gives some of the...

  11. Xygris question

    Diprivan/Vented replied to Dinith88's topic in MICU, SICU

    In my own experience, if you controlled the inflammatory process, covered the pt with antibiotics, and supported the pt with blood products, then sepsis is not so difficult to treat, and in cases...

  12. Need advice from a CRNA ASAP, PLEASE!!!!

    Diprivan/Vented replied to gypsyatheart's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    What surgery are you doing anyway? Maybe they don't have to put you under general

  13. Myers-Briggs Personality Type & CRNA's

    Diprivan/Vented replied to Toby's mum's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Let's ask tenesma what his myers-briggs personality type is.

  14. Are CRNA programs with simulation labs better?

    Diprivan/Vented replied to Riverking's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I just had a quick question. I got to practice intubating while taking ACLS, and on a couple occasions I kept chipping the dummy's teeth with the laryngoscope. Is there a technique you guys use to...

  15. triple A surgery

    Diprivan/Vented replied to ethelbsnrn's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Tenesma: What I learned about CVP was that CVP was an estimate of RVEDP. Because RVEDP is taken when the tricuspid valve is open, you get what can be assumed to be a open venous system, which can then...

  16. triple A surgery

    Diprivan/Vented replied to ethelbsnrn's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    1. Esmolol doesn't really make any sense to me unless he was using it to help with the BP, but then the propofol would also affect BP. Esmolol and Propofol would then dramatically drop BP, and he'd...

  17. Does employment at a facility affiliated with the school help you get in?

    Diprivan/Vented replied to Sarah Kat's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    All the above are excellent points, but I think it comes down to whom do you want to help the most. If you find satisfaction in helping the people you're serving, then you will automatically do a good...

  18. UAB Applicants

    Diprivan/Vented replied to Gump's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I know each school is different, but could you go a bit more into how your classes were structured? Did the profs give you any guidance as to what they expected you to know or did they just give you...

  19. Different types of interviews....

    Diprivan/Vented replied to mommyof2grls's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I think you have the same weakness as I do. I tend to overanalyze, and when I get into that mode, my brain tends to run around in circles and grind its own gears. A tactic that I've found that really...

  20. 7 Calendar Years of Education????

    Diprivan/Vented posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    http://www.aana.com/crna/prof/education_fact_sheet.asp Where do they get that from? The way I figure it: 1 yr minimum ICU experience. 2.5-3 yrs CRNA school =4 yrs total. Am I missing something

  21. 7 Calendar Years of Education????

    Diprivan/Vented replied to Diprivan/Vented's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Ah ok, thanks. Are you in school already? I was wondering, when you finish CRNA, how well do graduates feel prepared to tackle routine cases? I know as RN's we had a couple month's orientation with a...

    Diprivan/Vented replied to mommyof2grls's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Do you have a syllabus of your advanced pathophys class? I was looking to take that, but it's not being offered at my local university, so I'm taking biochem and human

  23. what to do.....

    Diprivan/Vented replied to New CCU RN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  25. Reference problem

    Diprivan/Vented replied to rn4cicu's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I have come to the conclusion that, if you were meant to get in, then you will get in. You try your hardest, and afterwards, the chips will fall wherever they will fall, and it's out of your hands. It...
