  2. Propofol

    srnaKate replied to czipp's topic in Gastroenterology

    You just have GOT to be kidding! These, dear readers, are the words of a DANGEROUS FOOL! If by now he is not able to discern the legal implications, never mind the physiologic ramifications of using...

  3. Good contract??

    srnaKate replied to rn4cicu's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    srnaKate replied to D&D'sMommy's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  8. Should I become a CRNA or not?

    srnaKate replied to emtmoon1's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    The years are going to pass and you're going to be 46 anyway, whether you become a CRNA or not, right? As for the $$, if you're not sure if it's worth the investment, visit www.gaswork.com. It will...

  9. Difficulty in the CCU

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

    I totally agree with Sandman, if you want it, just do what it takes to do it! If new grads can make it in a CVICU (they hire them at the hospital where I work) then I'm SURE you can do it with years...

  12. helpful hints on contracts

    srnaKate replied to athomas91's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

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

    There comes a time when you have to stop studying and just take the test. Once you get to that point, additional studying is counter-productive in that it just adds frustration. It sounds like...

  14. Proving it.

    srnaKate replied to preCRNA's topic in MICU, SICU

    I applaud your desire to do more. It is amazing how much more you learn from situations to which you may be very accustomed when you have to explain and discuss everything with someone else....

  17. recommendations when applying

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

    I wouldn't worry about getting a CRNA to do a recommendation for you since you don't know anyone well. I would definitely shadow a CRNA for a day or 2 because this is a question that is frequently...
