  1. Mercy Ships

    Mully replied to Zombi RN's topic in General Nursing

    Ali, are you still volunteering with Mercy ships? I'm waiting to here back from the CRNA school that I applied to. My plan is to join Mercy ships after I get some CRNA experience in the States. Is...

  3. How did you afford CRNA school and do you have any advice for me?

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

    Lol BOOM goes the dynamite! You tell 'em Ultraposh. Get your finances in order any you got what it takes to be whatever you want! A little fire in the belly goes a long

  4. Shadowing a CRNA

    Mully replied to icu2crna's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'll tell you in about a month. Their deadline for the app is tomorrow, then interviews. I do think it'll look good that I shadowed within their system,

  5. Don't People Have Bills To Pay?

    Mully replied to Ruby Vee's topic in First Year After Licensure

    AMEN AMEN AMEN to ALL of what ALL of the crusty old bats have said lol! And I'm a millennial nurse! The generalizations about my generation couldn't be truer, in my opinion. And try the dating scene!...

  6. Shadowing a CRNA

    Mully replied to icu2crna's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I contacted the CRNA school I'm applying to and they set me up with the main person that they deal with in their main clinical rotation. They got me in no

  7. Trauma Surgical ICU

    Mully replied to aerorunner80's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Yes.

  8. CRNA student having doubts

    Mully replied to Joebinks's topic in Advanced Practice

    If I were you, I'd finish CRNA school and give it two years of working as an honest, whole-hearted try. The good thing about life is that nothing is forever, and you can always change your mind later!...

  9. Cool ER Videos

    Mully replied to Novo's topic in Emergency

    I've watched a lot of these videos! The guy is a ER physician and he actually responds to pretty much every logical comment on his vid's, so if you have questions, ask! Pretty

  11. How did you afford CRNA school and do you have any advice for me?

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

    Yeah you need some major financial help. Dave Ramsey is legit and that's probably a great option for you. During nursing school 2 years ago I was making roughly 15K/year, living, AND paying off my...

  12. Code rolee

    Mully replied to NurseYe's topic in Critical Care

    Agreed ktliz Take ACLS. It'll fix this problem you

  13. PA catheters/swan ganz

    Mully replied to arl6's topic in MICU, SICU

    Good info. The whole point is that the numbers which represent pressure are a indirect measurement of volume. We use the numbers to estimate how much volume is in that space and guide therapies from...

  14. Nicardipine gtt outside ED/Crit Care?

    Mully replied to safetygirltrish's topic in Critical Care

    It only depends on the policy of the hospital you work at. The stepdown I came from, we'd titrate Cardizem, Dopamine, Nitro and others. Not Nicardipine though. However, I don't see why we couldn't...

  15. proper IVP administration

    Mully replied to Iwander's topic in Critical Care

    One way of adding a port in this scenario is to add one to the CVP. You should be able to add a 3 way stop-cock or some sort of additional port to the CVP line. If not, giving the med and flushing...

    Mully replied to SticU <3's topic in Critical Care

  17. Ad on Craiglist for ghostwriter for nursing student

    Mully replied to tsm007's topic in General Students

    Levitas, I admire your compassion and willingness to give grace to people. I do think, however, in this instance that you're compassionate to a fault, which is to the point of enabling. Cheating is...

  18. The Elephant in the Room

    Mully replied to Anna Flaxis's topic in Emergency

    Great post! Sometimes it's not so easy to identify who the elephant

  19. Nursing exam questions are terrible (according to science)

    Mully replied to ericthered's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The point isn't whether nursing is different than medicine, obviously it is. Obviously they are two different specialties. And yes, nursing does include both science and art - "physical science...

  20. Trauma Centers- East Coast

    Mully replied to SticU <3's topic in Critical Care

    How's the unit? Are there many traumas each day? 9000 seems like a huge over-estimate. Maybe 9000 trauma calls, but traumas come in many shapes and sizes. A hand lac from a domestic dispute or a car...

  21. The lowest O2 saturation I've ever seen

    Mully replied to SaraBart's topic in Critical Care

    Was there ever an ABG done when they were saturating that low? I'd be curious to know their PaO2. It's pretty crazy what young hearts can take despite the lack of O2 and other vital

  22. Nursing exam questions are terrible (according to science)

    Mully replied to ericthered's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Giving drugs isn't just giving drugs. Once you're giving drugs on your own with your own license backing you up, you may see it differently. The example of whether or not to give the patient's...

  23. Why do anesthesiologists make more than CRNAs?

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

    So if it is essentially the same amount being billed per case for either MDA AND CRNA (in ACT) or MDA OR CRNA (independent practices), then is there any financial incentive for hospitals to have one...

  24. Neuro ICU patient population?

    Mully replied to Chaserr's topic in Neuro Intensive Care, ICU

    A couple not mentioned here... Guillain barre, Traumatic brain injury/poly

  25. Just wondering if there is a chance....

    Mully replied to MomRN0913's topic in Critical Care

    It might be hard to walk into a per diem spot having been off so long, because they usually want someone who can immediately do the job without training. It seems to me that most people in per diem...
