  2. Have you ever given the 'Nurse Dose'???

    CRNAsoon replied to Dinith88's topic in General Nursing

    I think there's a big difference between a drug titrated to effect and a nurse giving more than ordered. I've seen nurses give more than the ordered amount just because it was easier to compute or...

  4. No Interview

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

    Actually, the school I'm referring to is in Ohio. Their web site states that there is an interview process but the person that I know of applied at the very last minute. Maybe they just had some open...

    CRNAsoon replied to jackieliz's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    CRNAsoon replied to epiphany's topic in General Nursing

    CRNAsoon replied to CRNAsoon's topic in MICU, SICU

    TraumaRUs, I'm in complete agreement with you, but many times I've been with nurses to pull CT's and they don't pre-medicate. As a new nurse, I'm still learning the ropes, so I always ask if they're...

    CRNAsoon replied to doodlebug914's topic in Nursing Career
