  1. CRNA vs. MDA - pros and cons

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

    that was quite honestly the biggest bunch of bull**** ever composed---an MDA staying in-house is incomprehensible, much less staying to do "paperwork"---while I go off in a sportscar leaving in the...

  2. When things go wrong

    jdpete replied to 4amcoffee's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I wouldnt classify a pt "moving" on incision a complication---have to agree here staff, people posting here should have more knowledge about the subject, but I guess that is where others have to speak...

  4. help going crazy

    jdpete replied to SSPSU93's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    more than likely you are in good shape because if you fail, it seems they get it back to you real quick to get you in the process again---also, you took ninety which means you are at the bare minimum...

  5. diprivan for c sections

    jdpete posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Just a question out there to see who is using diprivan for stat c sections and who all still use Pentothal and what experiences these have had for

  6. cell saver and ebl

    jdpete posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    what is the ebl with cell saver? I had always heard to estimate the blood loss as three times what you gave back---so if you give 500cc back, the ebl is 1500cc--is this the same as you learned, if so...

  7. opinions

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

  9. opinions

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

    Yeah, Yeah---you are missing my point---if you look at original post, he asked what to give to increase BP, drug A or B----I am not saying that this is bad, to look at all angles, but that wasn't his...

  10. opinions

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

    the thread side tracked though---basically he was asking the question between the two drugs---that's why the fluid blah, blah, blah quote----without getting into all the questions asked, between the...

  11. opinions

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

    Neo is what I would use as well, one thing, it just seems that giving just ephedrine never brings the pressure up good by itself when they are beta blocked----I also sometimes give 50-100 mcg of Neo...

    jdpete replied to Amberlynn1181's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  14. Group vs Hospital - Which is the best employer?

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

    I think hospitals can be good as well-----my "group" is getting way behind on contributions with retirement, they only give 3% matching and ***** about everything from our salaries to our malpractice...

  15. Does this look like a viable plan?

    jdpete replied to SCmomof3's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    let me reply number two for ya------anytime you can go to school and are motivated to do so, you need to take advantage of it, no matter what time that is in your life---enjoy your kids while they are...

  16. Reading, crossword puzzles, etc while administering anesthetics

    jdpete replied to 22380's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    we just talked about that debate today and read the rebuttals that were there in the mags that jwk spoke of---I agree with the theory that this doesn't take away, but makes you sharper---in the sense...

  18. EXtra compensation for mandatory inhouse call for salaried crna?

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

    this is how we work----I like the experience of working this way--I worked last night and slept for about 2 hours, but I enjoy doing the epidurals (most of the time) b/c there is great satisfaction--I...

  19. anastesia

    jdpete replied to sheilad4's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    need to elaborate a little bit as to exactly what happened--you really dont receive "too much" anesthesia---maybe you are sensitive to narcotics which made you drowsy in the recovery room or...

  21. anesthetist vs anesthesiologist

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

    I probably deserved some of the grief I got, and I accept. There is one good doc where I work, that is real hands on and helps out some, but the majority are definitely on the lazy side, that is my...

  22. anesthetist vs anesthesiologist

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

    couldn't help but notice that some srna's failed to compare yourself to MDA's----When you get out and you see how little they do throughout the day, yet have the surgeons, and sadly, the public in...

  23. Salary poll---please help

    jdpete posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I am currently renegotiating and thinking of possibly moving, just would like to know where my income range is at on comparison thanks poll for W2 earnings----not locums or self employed just full...

  24. Salary poll---please help

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

    I agree, the less than $100k is a little surprising to me, especially for a W2 total. I realized it was a lot of students, but I was hoping enough experienced CRNA's would reply. Someone mentioned...

  25. health insurance while in school

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

    I did not get any----I am healthy and did not see the reason to do so----everybody else in the class said I was stupid, but I saved a load of cash not doing so---$350 was better in my pocket every...
