  1. Get together at NTI 2014 Denver - Will You Be There??

    Mully replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Critical Care

    Dang this looks fun! Wish I could go. Here's a link that describes it for those who don't know... NTI2014

  2. Why do anesthesiologists make more than CRNAs?

    Mully posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Is it because they can bill multiple cases at the same time within ACT practices? I've heard that reimbursement is the same for CRNAs or MDAs providing the anesthesia, is this true? In other words,...

  3. OR nurse to ICU?

    Mully replied to CTRN'11's topic in MICU, SICU

    The fact that you want to be challenged more means you will be a good ICU nurse. It's not as hard as you think. It just takes learning and practice. Do

  4. Jane Fitch MD, prior CRNA, now Anesthesiologist elected president ASA

    Mully replied to puppies'n kittens's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    And this, really, is the main point, and the only one that matters. Say, hypothetically, that MDAs have to go through 12 or 20 years of anesthesia residency before they begin practicing. If the data...

  5. question about to CRNA school

    Mully replied to rosedale4u's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I agree with everything ssrhythm just said. It's hard for me because I've always been one to pay for school as I go. I've always hustled and graduated with no debt. For anesthesia school though, short...

  6. Working during RN-BSN program?

    Mully replied to Jack C's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    It's a good plan, Jack! A young man with a vision and determination can do much. Stick to it,

  8. Hyperkalemia a ticking time bomb?

    Mully replied to JenHRN's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    It's hard to say if it is a big deal or not. I think you had the correct amount of concern. The problem is, lets say 49/50 patients don't have anything happen to them on a night like this, and the...

  9. L&D RN --> CRNA

    Mully replied to obizyanka's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I think that'd be a smooth transition. Keep in mind, going to the ICU, you should get a solid orientation with a lot of classroom time built in; e.g. ventilator management, hemodynamics,...

  10. Marriage Housing CRNA

    Mully replied to FarrSundheim's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    My school basically says you can live in this dorm-like residency near campus (which I'm very skeptical about. I definitely don't want to end up rooming with an 18 year old), or they just give you a...

  11. Icu Nursing isn't for me help

    Mully replied to RN-icu's topic in Critical Care

    Hmmm.... this is quite interesting. Almost all the nurses I work with really do love the ICU. Personally, I consider it the best kind of nursing. I wouldn't want to do anything else, but then again, I...

  12. Top 10 Reasons We Get Fired: Sleeping on duty

    Mully replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't know that there were any facilities with these types of policies! And guess what? I guarantee you that somewhere in that same hospital there is a doctor sleeping on his or her paid time (in...

  13. How I got into CRNA school.

    Mully replied to Powertrip's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'm now in the same boat as you Angelrina! I applied to one school and was accepted. I will say I'm not really anxious about it though, maybe I should be lol. Most of my time is spent figuring out how...

  14. Top 10 Reasons We Get Fired: Sleeping on duty

    Mully replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    A lot of us take naps on our break and let me tell you, it is SO refreshing. I honestly feel so much better for the rest of my shift. People say, "I'd never wake up" if they took a nap, and I thought...

  15. What do you fantasize about?

    Mully replied to Brian's topic in Nursing Humor

    That redhead I met in Colorado... ^Answering the question from the title... not from the OP

  16. Feeling hopeless about future after only 6 weeks into Nursing school

    Mully replied to YourLocalAsian's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Lol welcome to nursing. I know a lot of CRNA students with 3.3-3.4ish GPAs. Don't be obsessive. Nursing still doesn't know how to grade "critical thinking" objectively so they just give everyone bad...

  17. I got in! Now what?

    Mully replied to ShannonScolly's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I got in for this fall in Michigan!!! My goal is to cram 3 years worth of vacations into this summer

  18. Why you shouldn't become a nurse practitioner

    Mully replied to chillnurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You missed it. The whole thing. There is no "trolling" going on here. This is a great piece written to a generation of up and comers that DO expect people to bow down, or that ARE looking for the CNA...

  19. Great Apps for Great Nurses

    Mully replied to Brian's topic in Coffee Lounge's Lounge

    Resuscitation! It's a game where you are the ER doc and you get a patient and have to do everything. At the end you get an overall score and it gives you great rational for everything you did and were...

  20. CRNA prerequisites

    Mully replied to samantha139's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Mine are at a CC too. I'd verify with the school/schools you plan on applying to just to make

  21. Continuous CVP and infusions

    Mully replied to RN RN RN's topic in MICU, SICU

    There is a fourth option of having the stopcock turned off to nothing and all three ports open. This will allow you to infuse medications, while still obtaining a cvp number (which is inaccurate as...

  22. explaining my job to an outsider.

    Mully replied to nursejackie821's topic in Critical Care

    Nice!!! There's no better nursing out there (in my opinion of course)! Just remember, pee when you need to. It's important for your long term bladder health . Your patients will live...

  23. Route Guidance for BSN/RN wanting CRNA

    Mully replied to mdm6713's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    You're asking in order to get into CRNA school, should you get an MSN degree? No. You should do what all the other threads about becoming a CRNA say you should do. Get killer grades, work in an ICU...

  25. Specialty Hospital ICU Experience

    Mully replied to defibn's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I had an interview at a heart transplant ICU in Houston a while back. From the way it sounded, the entire building was just dedicated to heart transplants! I ended up being offered the job I currently...
