  1. Bedside Nurse Practitioners

    manusko replied to matthewandrew's topic in Advanced Practice

    If the nurse practitioner will be available for collaboration, then why have one at the bedside? Couldn't a RN call the NP and

  2. Online prerequisites

    manusko replied to kathryn1029's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  5. DNP-Prepared Generalist APRNs

    manusko replied to matthewandrew's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    These MD/DO programs prepare them to be competent in every area? No, they apply for specialties after medical school. They aren't ready for the OR, dermatology clinic, OB/GYN practice

  7. New drug cocktails for executions....opinions?

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

    Agreed. The problem is suffering and pain. Painless death is the best option. Who is to say that beheading someone is not only painful but also mentally

  9. Relocating to NC, need advice!

    manusko replied to Prince815's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I moved to NC in July. Great weather. Love my job. We do our cases mostly on our own. The MDA comes in for induction and they may come back for extubation but they don't interfere with my

  10. ICU Experience Question

    manusko replied to flamalenurse's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I would find a actual fulltime ICU to work in. I'm not sure what types of PTs you get as an agency nurse but on my ICU we would give them the lowest acuity and they were the first ones sent

  13. Which school to attend??

    manusko replied to westcoast1's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I have also heard that Pitt has a good program but I also heard that half the students are on antidepressants. Who cares about the rankings. Find some students from there an ask them firsthand how the...

  15. Which school to attend??

    manusko replied to westcoast1's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Agreed. Who cares about impressing someone with your school name. I am more impressed when people are shocked that I just graduated because my PTs do very well post-OP. A name is great but the...

  16. Do I have what it takes to become a CRNA?

    manusko replied to cdbranch13's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I was in a nursing class of 42. We had at least 25-30 that wanted to be a CRNA. Last I heard, only one went through with it. A lot can change from now until its time to apply. When you are not even...

  19. DNP seems like a waste...

    manusko replied to IcySageNurse's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Well it's fine it they meet requirements to take boards. I had twice as many cases as needed to sit for boards. What I am saying is that a DNP program does not necessarily make you more ready to work...

  24. New grads shouldn't work in ICU?

    manusko replied to Kayla2013's topic in Critical Care

    I was a new grad in the CCU and had an admit that was suffering from low blood pressure and placed on a norepinephrine drip. It was end of shift and my last day for two days. I suggested the night...

    manusko replied to IcySageNurse's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Yeah I had around 1,000 when I stopped putting them in the computer when they finalized out counts in February. I still worked in clinical through May so I had a bunch more. I was just saying that a...
