  1. Advice for applying to KPSAN?

    Be_Moore posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hello friends. I plan to apply to CRNA school next year, and KPSAN is my first choice. I'm curious if there is any advice that I could get from any current students, or graduates, about the...

  2. Surprisingly simple way to keep organized in graduate school

    Be_Moore replied to BethBSN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Just wanted to add in to this that Google Drive is cheaper on all plans, and offers more free storage up front (at 5gb). So just to let everyone know that there is a very solid competitor to drop box...

  3. Wesleyan Crna interview math test

    Be_Moore replied to BOOSTISADRUG's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I didn't have a math test in my interview, exactly. I was asked questions about gas laws (why they expected me to know this, I have no idea). ABG interpretation and being able to calculate an anion...

  4. CRNA, Steps to get there

    Be_Moore replied to RNwannbe's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    It's all about the job experience. A job in a busy/large ICU will be much more impressive on a resume than a job in a small ICU that transfers its sick patients to larger hospitals. CRNA schools love...

  5. Texas Wesleyan - Mobile, AL site satellite program??

    Be_Moore replied to i10duck's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I don't know anything about a math requirement, but it could be. Here's how the TWU interview works. You will interview with a panel of people. One of them will be a professor from TWU, one will be a...

  6. Texas Wesleyan - Mobile, AL site satellite program??

    Be_Moore replied to i10duck's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    They don't weigh it that much, I don't believe. I know a person who got an interview (and accepted) with a 900 (old scoring where the minimum requirement was a 1000)...but that person also dropped out...

  7. Okay, SRNA's, enlighten me.

    Be_Moore replied to crichards00's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I've heard that it is one of the biggest strains on relationships around. I'm lucky in that I don't have kids, but I can see how it would be really tough with them. I don't get to see my girlfriend...

  8. CRNA Satisfaction for Creative Adrenaline-Junkies?

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

    Well, I'm an SRNA, not a CRNA, but since no one else has responded... Anesthesia doesn't really seem like the adrenaline game, definitely much more of a thinking game. It's been described as 99%/1%....

  9. How old were you when you started CRNA school?

    Be_Moore replied to Nolander's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'm guessing that means book smarts. Knows the answers to questions about receptor activation, etc. I'm 27 as a first year. Most of us are probably in the 26-30 range, though there are more than...

  10. CEN, ENA, TNCC

    Be_Moore replied to yankee nurse09's topic in Emergency

    I have the TNCC and I can say it was a joke. Had about 1 year ICU experience at the time and it's nothing that you don't already know (if you have nursing experience), it's just placed in a format...

  11. Cool Jobs to do after you gain ER experience

    Be_Moore replied to yankee nurse09's topic in Emergency

    Critical Care transport, Flight nursing (helicopter or fixed

  12. Aline pressure verses cuff in sepsis

    Be_Moore replied to Darkfield's topic in MICU, SICU

    The pressures could be different, but usually you would see the opposite pattern. The fem a-line would have a crap pressure while the brachial cuff pressure would be okay. That's when you are thinking...

  13. Anesthesia for Dummies???

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

    I second the previous post. They are going to ask critical care related questions, not so much anesthesia related questions. Get a good CCRN book and read that. If you can pass your CCRN before...

  14. Lesser Known "Post bedside RN" Jobs?

    Be_Moore replied to NHGN's topic in General Nursing

    Nurse Informatics. Designing and implementing computerized systems. critical care nursing perspective is invaluable in that

  15. Very confused about nursing programs

    Be_Moore replied to SimoneWmson's topic in General Nursing

    1) Either satisfy them all or find the most common themes between them and pick the route in which you will satisfy most of them. Most nursing schools run very similar pre-req patterns anyway. 2)Did 2...

  16. D.O. VS. CRNA

    Be_Moore replied to Angela.CRNA2B's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Allowed to? You won't really have a lot of time to. Had former two roomies who were med kids and they spent most of their time either studying or complaining about how they should be studying. But...

  17. MRSA testing

    Be_Moore replied to _melissa's topic in General Nursing

    I work in an ICU and we check everyone who comes through the doors for MRSA with a nasal swab. In terms of checking healthcare workers....your hospital doesn't want to do that because honestly...they...

  18. Have they gotten rid of Respiratory Therapists where you work, also?

    Be_Moore replied to nervousnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Believe it or not, anything an RT can do an RN can do (and theoretically should be competent doing). Unfortunately since RT has become so prevalent our nursing schools have started to fail us in this...

  19. How important is it to get a nurse tech job?

    Be_Moore replied to *Butterfly8*'s topic in General Nursing

    Honestly, with preceptorship looming, it may be too late for you. Right now your goal should be finish school, pass NCLEX ASAP. Start applying to jobs as soon as you graduate and let them know your...

  20. Pathophysiology

    Be_Moore replied to mimi2011's topic in General Nursing

    1) Think of the valves like doors. If you are opening a door, you have to push the door harder than the air pressure on the other side of the door (as well as harder than the resistance created by the...

  21. i feel so guilty..should i have done more?

    Be_Moore replied to erin01's topic in General Nursing

    The more than 3L is not exactly true..I've taken care of COPD patients who are on continuous home O2 @ 4L who come in with a perfect gas. The amount of O2 they are on will vary per patient on how much...

  22. EKG tips for Dummies

    Be_Moore replied to FSK123's topic in General Nursing

    The only real like "tip" type thing that I have to remember EKG changes is that you can look at the T-Wave as a tent for potassium. If you have a low K, you will have flattened out T-waves. If you...

  23. Palliative care-withholding coumadin-your opinions

    Be_Moore replied to Otessa's topic in General Nursing

    The first response nailed it--bleeding at tumor sights is very common. Think of the cliche of the man who discovered he had lung cancer after coughing up blood. The same is true of the brain. A...

  24. Occurrence In Idaho

    Be_Moore replied to kubivern's topic in General Nursing

    I think the fact that this case is even going to court is proof that the DA has nothing better to do. He doesn't have a solid case. There is too much reasonable doubt (which is all you need to prevent...

  25. In what department do you not wipe the backside?

    Be_Moore replied to mirgadia05's topic in General Nursing

    ICU you will definitely clean a lot of poop. Can't speak of ORs or ERs, but I am sure they are not entirely exempt either. Best advice? Work outpatient, like a clinic. Cardiac stress clinic, pain...
