  3. AAACK! My first Code!!!!

    skipaway replied to loridoo's topic in General Nursing

    Truly excellent advice. When I was first a floor nurse 20 yrs ago, I was about 6mo out of school and I decided to take ACLS. No one on my unit had ACLS and at that time, ACLS was incredibly hard to...

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

  5. Job/salary outlook for CRNAs in 2014?

    skipaway replied to HenryH's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  9. Pharmacology and Texas SONs

    skipaway replied to ORaddict's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I looked at your curriculum and it seems that Pharmacology is integrated into each of the specific courses. It seems that in Adult I and II, you get pharmacological aspects of this group as well as...

  10. How intense is it?

    skipaway replied to charger's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  11. Shadowing: Hitting a Brick Wall in Central TX

    skipaway replied to ORaddict's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    You could do that (shadow an MDA) to get an idea about anesthesia in general. However, you must also shadow a CRNA. That will be your career, not medicine. During interviews, if they ask you have...

  15. Why havent CRNAs pushed MDAs out yet?

    skipaway replied to platon20's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I think maybe your Profile which states that you are a student nurse may be where Mike made his assumption. Congrats if you've graduated. I agree that not all viewpoints should be the same, but as...

    Ok, you'll receive alot of differing replies to this question, so here it goes: I use oral airways for all my ETT cases. I would prefer that my patients do not bite down and occlude their airway...

  22. Labor Nurses regulating epidurals

    skipaway replied to terig63's topic in Ob/Gyn
