  1. Is nursing theory actually used by working nurses?

    BCRNA replied to BCRNA's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Yes, that makes perfect sense, I agree completely with philosophy guiding our

  2. Is nursing theory actually used by working nurses?

    BCRNA replied to BCRNA's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    How exactly can they be using a theory in there practice they don't even know? Their personal philosophy may be very similar to a certain theorists, but if they don't know that theorist at all then...

  3. Management of Unanticipated Difficult Intubation

    BCRNA replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I find most patients will remember they were told they were difficult to "put in the breathing tube." But most will no be able to remember the name of the method that was used. The ones that could...

  4. Is nursing theory actually used by working nurses?

    BCRNA replied to BCRNA's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I have reviewed the nursing theorists that where mentioned so far in these posts. I can definitely see how they "could" be useful. And the theories are excellent in academic settings to help...

  5. CRNA or PharmD???

    BCRNA replied to mambutz7hart's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I would recommend crna. Pharmacists often work 60 hours a week to get over 100000 a year. Scheduling is much better for crnas. I wouldn't recommend aa if your already a rn. They aren't in every...

  6. CRNA Success doubts

    BCRNA replied to wake9909's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I still have days that I feel nothing goes right. It will get better, and you need to realize that doubting yourself at times is not a bad thing. It means you are able to improve yourself. Your a...

  7. Anyone attended previous Nurse anesthesia school and withdrawn

    BCRNA replied to suarc's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Not many programs treat srna's this badly. Unfortunately some do though. Where I went to school students were treated like second class citizens, no body gave them any respect and everyone felt it...

  8. Can a NP make over $100k a year?

    BCRNA replied to KT12's topic in Advanced Practice

    check out nurse anesthetists, I love my job. Not many people even know we

  9. Doctoral Preparation of Nurse Anesthetists

    BCRNA replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I don't agree completely with the DNP requirement. It is mainly political reasons that it is being pushed. It puts us on a more equal footing since many other providers are going to a doctorate....

  10. Failure rate of CRNA students

    BCRNA replied to Mkb623's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    You would have to contact the individual school to find drop out rates. Drop out rates are extremely low in anesthesia, the admission process is so brutal to weed out failures. The school I went to...

  11. Anesthesiologists being replaced by CRNAs???

    BCRNA replied to MONEJA783's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    CRNA skills are not less than a MDA, I know the limitation of my skills. I would put them up against any MDA's. There are CRNA's who could not practice completely independantly, but then there are...

  12. someone please tell me how ridiculous my doubts are

    BCRNA replied to milian7's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I dont think this is going to be a problem. I can't stand secretions either, but it really isn't that often you have to deal with it. And you would love your job so much that occasionally having to...

  13. Low diastolic = 911?

    BCRNA replied to JLForever's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    There is no such thing as an emergency due to low diastolic pressure. Low diastole can meen the patient is dehydrated. Systole is the highest pressure in the vascular system with the heart pumping,...

  14. New Grad Murses having an easier time finding jobs?

    BCRNA replied to Age1's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I have talked to several nurse managers about this, and most of them think men make better employees. They call in when they are sick, not when they want a day off. They get along better with...

  15. Does being a guy have any affect on being accepted into your schools nursing program?

    BCRNA replied to cjcsoon2bnp's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I don't think that is true at all. It is my experience that men in nursing tend to have higher GPA's to begin with and have hopes of either bieng a NP or CRNA. I don't think it is a quota that needs...

  16. Any risks of volunteering?

    BCRNA replied to DeLana_RN's topic in General Nursing

    As long as you don't introduce yourself as a registered nurse or try to give advice then there is no potential risk of your volunteering. If you tell them you are a registered nurse then they can...

  17. Best BSN Capstone to get into MSN/DNP?

    BCRNA replied to majisdicp's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Are you refering to a capstone project for your undergraduate degree? Like the capstone projects for DNP degree? If so, then it doesn't really matter what you pick, but you could reference it when...

  18. MPH considering nursing PhD

    BCRNA replied to mabeltoo's topic in Post Graduate Students

    There are many PhD programs that combine the msn content with the PhD, and dont require you to have the MSN prior to applying to the doctoral program. And it is a fast track program, don't have to...

  19. Alternative Masters Degree (Nursing Anesthesia)

    BCRNA replied to Yasha Alexandria's topic in Post Graduate Students

    If you have a master's degreen in nursing that is recognized by US schools, then you can apply to a post-master's anesthesia program. You will not have to take the basic non-anesthesia nursing...

  20. Cost for your MSN degree vs. Salary increase

    BCRNA replied to JSBoston's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I would recommend checking other programs in your state, or possibly moving to another state with cheaper tuition. 60000 for a master's degree is excessive. I am about to start a DNP program and my...
