   jrvb replied to notamannurseanymoRCC's topic in CRNA

   For someone who is studying medicine you sure have a lot of time to ask stupid questions. Notamannurseanymore? HMMM-Have you had some sort of an operation?

3. Board Review Books (CRNA)

   jrvb replied to Heather R.N.'s topic in CRNA

   Anesthesia Review A study guide to Basics of Anesthesia 4th Ed and Anesthessia 5th ED By Miller and Sdrales Edited by Stoelting This bool is in question and answer format but not multiple choice. I have found it to be a good review before tests.

4. CRNA Salary Survey

   jrvb replied to salvati08's topic in CRNA

   It is easy to see how complete chaos rules the nursing profession. If this is any indication of how you guys read labels and dispense medicine we are all in trouble. The question is simple. If you are a CRNA, please choose the letter that most close...

5. CRNAs once again defamed...

   jrvb replied to dynamiteRN's topic in CRNA

   The first death occured when a plastic surgery fellow injected lidocaine into the trachea by accident. The blood levels on autopsy showed four times the lethal dose of lidocaine in the body. Unfortunately (according to the NY Times) a nurse anesthet...

6. CRNA working as PACU RN

   jrvb replied to DKSH's topic in CRNA

   Legally the PACU must have two RN's even if there is just one patient. That became the standard of care in the last few years. Some places have one of the OR nurses stay in the PACU until the patient is transfered.

7. What's going to keep you motivated????

   jrvb replied to SRNACHIC's topic in CRNA

   Being a CRNA isnt going to get you on MTV Cribs. You might want to think about being a rap star.

8. Old Dominion University NA Program

   jrvb replied to BlakeS's topic in SRNA

   ODU is a great school. The application/admissions process is pretty standard. The interview is a little more relaxed than some in that it is not meant to be an interrogation. The instructors are all very knowledgeable and currently practicing CRNA's....

9. anesthetist vs anesthesiologist

   jrvb replied to caffine's topic in CRNA

   Incompetent Pressure: What a poorly articulated, ridiculous and baseless statement. Please do not be an ambassador for the profession because you do not represent it well.

10. anesthetist vs anesthesiologist

    jrvb replied to caffine's topic in CRNA

    Wow- That was pretty passionate. I have to agree with Tenesma. Even as an SRNA I understand that the level of training and understanding regarding physiology and differential diagnosis is not equal. Nor should it be when someone has spent that much t...

    How much do you love her?

12. Few questions from a young one.

    jrvb replied to Busy20yo's topic in CRNA

    When you start clinical I would avoid hanging out in the med room for any prolonged period of time. Just kidding! However if you have no felony convictions I would definately not bring it up to anyone on an admissions committee.

13. What Were You Taught or Do?

    jrvb replied to WntrMute2's topic in CRNA

    Mivacron is metabolized slowly by pseudocholinesterase but it is a non-depolarizer as well. It competitively blocks acetylcholine from activating receptors. A massive rush of acetylcholine as provided by anticholinesterases will knock off the Miv...

14. DO (school) in anesthesiology or CRNA school

    jrvb replied to Mantibob's topic in CRNA

    Zinnia- What do you mean by saying "Youd be better off going to med school"? What do you think a DO is? I have worked with two DO anesthesiologists. They are just as qualified so your choice would be, "do I want to be a doctor or crna?". Mantibob- I...
