  1. CRNA vs. MDA - pros and cons

    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 evening hours? I will never read here again if this...
  2. When things go wrong

    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 up---
  3. laryngospasm and peds Succs dose.

    agree with 0.1mg/kg
  4. help going crazy

    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 and more than likely passed unless you bombed it--...
  5. diprivan for c sections

    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 you---
  6. cell saver and ebl

    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 can someone provide a link--- thanks
  7. opinions

    good points all the way around, and you are right with learning new things, I really was more messing around, I didn't mean for it to sound as malicious as it did :)
  8. opinions

    thanks for the cme's
  9. opinions

    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 question---they didn't ask how to increase the BP ...
  10. opinions

    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 two drugs, neo is the choice---besides, if you are ...
  11. opinions

    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 and at the same time give 5-10 mg of Ephedrine plus...
  12. Which PDA to purchase?

    I love my T5 as well,,, have used it for over a year with multiple programs and books on it----haven't had the first problem
  13. Labor epidural lawsuit

    here is a link to the lawsuit http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8506245/
  14. Group vs Hospital - Which is the best employer?

    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 payments----not sure where you are looking at trau...
  15. Does this look like a viable plan?

    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 young,,school definitely takes a lot of quality t...
  16. 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 that when I am not reading or looking at an articl...
  17. EXtra compensation for mandatory inhouse call for salaried crna?

    I sent a PM with some info for you
  18. EXtra compensation for mandatory inhouse call for salaried 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 also enjoy working on my own---the huge differenc...
  19. anastesia

    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 something---if you had to stay on a machine due to muscle r...
  20. anastesia

    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 something---if you had to stay on a machine due to muscle r...
  21. anesthetist vs anesthesiologist

    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 point. The one good young doc we have is slowly ge...
  22. anesthetist vs anesthesiologist

    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 their corner, it will make you sick---they have witho...
  23. Salary poll---please help

    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 time employees with groups or hospitals------ How mu...
  24. Salary poll---please help

    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 earlier that there was another thread like this,,if...
  25. health insurance while in school

    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 month---If you are young and healthy I would do witho...
