  1. Does it bother CRNA's that MDA's get so much more...?

    I_See_You_RN replied to ICU, RN, BSN, B.S.'s topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    why are we confusing NP and CRNA. They are two different things. Some states including yours do allow CRNA's prescriptive authority for the case, but not like an NP. NP's and CRNA's have very...

    Hey everyone... after being on this site for years and slowly making my way through the Nursing student board, to the graduate nurse board, to the MICU/SICU board,.. I can now say that I belong on the...

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

  7. Is nursing worth it??

    I_See_You_RN replied to AmandaRose06's topic in General Nursing

    I know some people who went to college specifically intending to work for non-profit organizations. Maybe find a major that would help you in community building/planning. Those are the types that...

  8. Discouraged, need a study partner

    I_See_You_RN replied to blynn9173's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The NClex is full of many repetitive questions and concepts. The main part has to do with prioritizing. I used saunders big book of questions so my advice is to truly do tons of those questions and...

  9. Does it bother CRNA's that MDA's get so much more...?

    I_See_You_RN replied to ICU, RN, BSN, B.S.'s topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  10. blood and levophed in same line?

    I_See_You_RN replied to link51411's topic in MICU, SICU

    What really should have happened is that after 30minutes of trying to get a secong PIV, and the fact that the patient was on pressors, bleeding (no matter over what time period), and had the potential...

  11. Electronic Stethescope. Yay? or Nay?

    I_See_You_RN posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Well i've always wanted one, lol. I borrowed a professors electronic stethescope years ago and those things are quite nifty. I have a good Litmanns stethescope now, Cardio III, but I was wondering...

  12. blood and levophed in same line?

    I_See_You_RN replied to link51411's topic in MICU, SICU

    Levo is compatible with Normal Saline so its not a fool proof rationale. Actually, in my hospital the SICU (where I work) usually puts everything in NS (as long as there isn't a contraindication),...

  13. Typical ... or even actual... book list.

    I_See_You_RN replied to delabeaux's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    http://www.nursing.upenn.edu/students/Documents/SRNASummerOrientationLetter2011.pdf here is another book list. its from Upenn June 2011 I think. The letter says that they will be using the majority...

  15. Yes, another question about CRNA pay?

    I_See_You_RN replied to wannabanrnin2012's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'm not a CRNA so i can't help with your actual question, but i know for a fact that most people who work along side each other in differenent professions rarely know how much each other make. just...

  16. Pennsylvanis CRNA's

    I_See_You_RN posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Is there anyone on this board that practices in Pennsylvania or went to a Pennsylvanis school like UPenn? If so, would you be willing to share your experience training and working in hospitals in...

  17. Have you ever infused phenylephrine peripherally?

    I_See_You_RN replied to nurse678's topic in MICU, SICU

    Phenylepherine can be used peripherally but care has to be taken to ensure that your PIV does not extravasate. Also, know your pharm and have some Regitine on hand just in case it

  18. Nurse/patient ratio in ICU...what is yours?

    I_See_You_RN replied to nitronymph's topic in MICU, SICU

    2:1, max 3:1 but that is rare and usually due to a nurse calling out sick last minute, or extreme bad weather. If you only have 2 nurses on then I think Code Team should be deferred to another unit....

  19. mistake on heparin??

    I_See_You_RN replied to marriednextmonth's topic in General Nursing

    Wow! some of the responses (the policy/practice of the hospital and not people) are ridiculous. Firstly I don't believe that it is your job to put in 24hours worth of labs slips. 1) Lab slips are...

  20. has anyone ever discharged a patient with their IV still in?

    I_See_You_RN replied to TracyVaRN's topic in General Nursing

    personally, never, since I rarely discharge patients home in the ICU. But even when I just discharge patients to another floor its just a natural check for me and the other nurses to review all their...

  21. Why everyone wants to become anesthetist? Is it because of the salary?

    I_See_You_RN replied to Datu's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    No more pee?? you will live by pee. During big operations it will be your job to climb under the OR table making sure not to contaminate anything and MEASURE PEE! intake and output will be critical....

  22. Why everyone wants to become anesthetist? Is it because of the salary?

    I_See_You_RN replied to Datu's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I hate when people accuse my pursuit to becoming a CRNA as solely dependent on the money. My general reasons. 1. I love the human body, I love controlling it, altering it, doing everything that I...

  23. IV drip dose error

    I_See_You_RN replied to babbu's topic in MICU, SICU

    I do agree that every medication error is a "big deal" in theory because the issue is the the action (or lack there of) and not the consequence. You were lucky since it was just a fentanyl drip and...

  24. How much does your school cost? I'll go first.

    I_See_You_RN replied to Air'n's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hi. I had applied to Upenn and now those numbers seem so daunting, but I suppose worth it in the end. How do you like UPenn?? Do you believe it is giving you the experience and education that you...
