  3. Taking the CCRN

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

    Nah, you don't HAVE to sit in any classes. You just need about 1800 hrs of ICU experience, fill out the application, take the test, and shell out the application fee. I suggest paying 300 bux, which...

  4. Taking the CCRN

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

    This thread has been posted before, and basically the answer was that getting your CCRN doesn't hurt. In fact, it can only help you. Anything that distinguishes you from the others will make you that...

  5. How many of you went to Nursing School with the sole intention of becoming a CRNA?

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

    I didn't mean to make it sound like I was taking all the credit or that I was being smug. That's not me at all. Teamwork is very important, and I certainly rely on doctors, RT's, and aids just as much...

  8. Hope

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

    I'm in your shoes, and some times I get so discouraged that I'm going the extra mile for nothing, and other times, I feel, "Gosh, if you just give me the interview, I'd prove to you that I have what...

  9. SRNAs/CRNAs-Ketamine coming into vogue?

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

    I remember hearing that Ketamine created holes in your brain, but I think that's only if you use it frequently. I also remember hearing about people who had used it for recreational purposes going...

  10. Crna = Mda?!

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

    This is a problem you see across the board, not just in medicine. There was a television special about corporate outsourcing that I saw several days ago. Basically, corporate profit is the bottom...

  12. Antacids

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

    Someone told me about a study in which patients who had meticulous oral care TID had a much lower incidence of pneumonia vs. those that didn't have it performed at all or on a less routine basis....

  13. Crna = Mda?!

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

    I think the bickering is minor and only between a few people. All of the anesthesiologists I've worked with have been wonderful people, and it has been a pleasure working with them as part of a

  14. A list of SRNA Life lessons

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

    How did you guys manage to muddle through all that for tests?

  15. Antacids

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

    To whomever uses Reglan: In my experience it's use almost always leads to bowl movements. Do you hate your bedside nurses? About aspiration pneumonia: Aspiration of foreign material (often the...

  17. Antacids

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

    Simethicone? Or maybe you mean Protonix? We've been using continuous IV Protonix 40mg/250cc lately, especially in hepatic failure and gastrointestinal bleed patients. We run it at 8 mg/hr, or

  18. Question-Open Heart Anesthesia??

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

    The only reason I wouldn't use strictly propofol is because it's so darn expensive. One bottle costs around 200 dollars or so, I think, and if you're using 30cc/hr, that's going to cost a lot. Compare...

  19. Question-Open Heart Anesthesia??

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

    We use a lot of fentanyl for pt during procedures. Then about 1/2 to 3/4 of the way, we initiate propofol, titrating upward as we wean the fentanyl down or completely off, depending on assessment. The...

  20. cricoid pressure techniques

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

    We had a morbidly obese pt the other day. Anesthesia nasally intubated him. I don't think I've ever seen anyone attempt it the way they did it. The pt was very lethargic, so the anesthetist began to...
