  1. Sugammadex changing anesthesia practice

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

    In my hands, Cis is way more predictable than Roc. I give an appropriate dose and I have a relaxed patient. With Roc, I give what is supposed to be an appropriate dose that's supposed to last..yeah...

  2. Sugammadex changing anesthesia practice

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

    I primarily use Cisatracurium in my practice. Sugammadex will not reverse this type of NDMR. I think having a reversal agent like Sug. is a good idea for those times you can't use Sux or for very...

  4. can a CRNA volunteer as RN?

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

    I don't see why not. You still maintain your RN license with the state you are practicing

  5. Hokey Hoedown recruitment?

    skipaway replied to locolorenzo22's topic in General Nursing

    This seems to be a common theme in alot of health systems...making the managers look stupid and thinking the staff will appreciate it. For example, if we exceed our United Way goal, our CEO will run...

  6. thinking about re-applying

    skipaway replied to jack3636's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Also, don't be surprised if the program you're applying to, may have already gotten the information from your previous program...thus my suggestion that you be totally

  7. thinking about re-applying

    skipaway replied to jack3636's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    You can re-apply, just prepare to be honest as to why you dropped or were dropped from your previous program. I doubt your credits would transfer. You would have to start from scratch. But to be...

  8. newbie charting

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

    IMO, never pre-chart your important events...ie...induction note, reversal note, extubation. If something happens inbetween those events, you'll have no where to write about those incidents. Also,...

  10. Scope of Practice

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

    These courses are taken and taught by "organized medicine." I have yet to see, as stanman1968 pointed out, any organized effort to curtail these "unethical, unprincipled physicians." However, I do...

  11. Scope of Practice

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

    Here is a company who teaches Primary care physicians pain management, botox, submental liposuction and dermatology procedures and other things all in a weekend. Take the course....set up your...

    skipaway replied to Shenanigans's topic in General Nursing

  13. Withholding my educational plans with my new employer

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

    No need to share that info just yet. Keep it to yourself. Don't share with collegues either unless you trust them to keep it to

  15. CRNA malpractice costs

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

    My insurance is paid by the hospital so I can't answer your question from an "independant CRNA" perspective. As to your above comment, I wish we got paid in the upper 6 figures...that'd be above...

  16. I'm tired of being assualted at work!!!

    skipaway replied to Candy303's topic in General Nursing

  18. Baptist Hospital Selection process

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

    I am sorry that your wife was not accepted. I'm not sure what to say except that there are so many other nearby programs in the NC and in the SE USA that she should try. I'm not sure if she applied...

  20. Are There Crna Schools Easy To Get In?

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

    The MAT doesn't require an essay and quite a few schools will accept the MAT in place of the GRE. Check into that. Suesquatch posted: "Private are generally easier to get into because they're much...

  22. What should I do to prepare before school starts next fall?

    skipaway replied to Burnt2's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Taking a class in phlebotomy will only help you in locating veins. It won't help you to actually start an IV. Phlebotomists draw blood they don't start IVs. http://www.svs.net/Later/home.htm If you...

  24. should i stay or should i go....

    skipaway replied to amiro31's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Doesn't GTUH have high acuity ICUs? You don't necessarily have to be in a level 1 Trauma center as long as their other ICUs are high acuity. Do they do Open Hearts? then the CVTICU may be an option....
