  1. sleeping anesthesiologist anyone????

    heartICU replied to Cricket1's topic in Operating Room

    Sounded like the OP did report it, s/he stated that "what if no one will listen?" And of course, everyone can get sued. My point was, I can't see how the nurse could have any responsibility as to what...

  2. sleeping anesthesiologist anyone????

    heartICU replied to Cricket1's topic in Operating Room

    If something happens due to anesthesiologist lack of vigilance, then it will be his/her fault. They have their own license, and are responsible for their own actions, or lack

  4. Looking to speak with students from UMDNJ Newark NJ and Columbia NY

    heartICU replied to jessi78's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Many programs only accept 10-15 students. I am one of 10 in my class. Often, the number if students accepted depends on the availability of clinical

    heartICU replied to TazziRN's topic in Emergency

    Diabetes itself is not a reason not to drive, but poorly controlled diabetes (i.e. hyper/hypoglycemia) can cause altered mental status...therefore leading to car

  9. Rumor about Valley Review

    heartICU replied to crnabound's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Just looking to clarify - what do you mean, "coming from Valley?" Do you mean there were no questions from the flashcards (Memory Master) or the Quick Quizzes in the sweat book? Or just nothing on any...

  11. State Opt-out

    heartICU replied to matt12345654321's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Not all fifty states will be able to opt out, because some states have it written in their practice act that CRNAs must be supervised by a physician. Ohio, for example, is one of

  13. can fever influence O2 saturation?

    heartICU replied to buddiage's topic in MICU, SICU

    Actually, it is just the opposite. On the oxyhemoglobin disassociation curve, the curve shifts to the right with an increase in temperature, and that is a decreased affinity of the hemoglobin for...

  14. Lidocaine with Extubation

    heartICU replied to SigmaSRNA's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    If you are looking to blunt laryngeal reflexes so they don't cough, I usually give 1.5-2mg/kg about 20 minutes before I expect them to wake up. Works like a charm. They will be somewhat more sedated...

  15. opinions about epidurals

    heartICU replied to Jayla's topic in Ob/Gyn

    See, the thing is, when we get consent, we are getting consent for ANESTHESIA, not necessarily just an epidural. So, when its 3am and time for a C/S for FTP or fetal intolerance, I don't have to get...

  16. I am so frustrated with Pace University

    heartICU replied to orientalgirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So what was your concern? That they got the package? They did. You have to remember, universities get a lot of applications, and it may take time to sort through them all. What did you specifically...

  17. SEE Exam

    heartICU posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Hey guys, My program does not require us to take the SEE Exam, as some other programs do. We do have the option, though. Anyone have any experience with it? How helpful do you think it was, was it...

  18. payment for SRNA's ?????

    heartICU replied to alansmith52's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Same here. No matter what insurance is paying. I have my own room, with an MD who supervises up to two rooms. The only time I have a CRNA with me is if there is extra staff or if the OR schedule is...

    heartICU replied to jts2404's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Alright, the countdown is now in the double digits for me....98 more days to go! Who else is part of the class of 2006? I can't believe it is finally coming - I am finishing my second month of ENT,...

  21. How helpful is Valley Review?

    heartICU replied to jts2404's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I think it was a good review, and it often explained things in a different way than I learned them, and I feel that I gained a better understanding than I had before of certain subject areas. And,...

  22. Transport to PACU

    heartICU replied to elcue's topic in PACU

    I am sure I will probably get flamed for this, but I don't see why reason why the anesthesia provider can't give the complete report. I am sure it would work either way, but to give two reports seems...

  23. Could someone please explain...

    heartICU replied to babynp's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Well, tell me what your role encompasses and then I will tell you. I know roughly what a NNP does, but not on a day-to-day basis. And how large of a salary discrepancy are we talking? 10% more? 50%...

  24. Transport to PACU

    heartICU replied to elcue's topic in PACU

    So what does the nurse-to-nurse report include? Just curious. We (meaning anesthesia) take the patient to PACU - the OR nurse doesn't go. They are usually finishing with the instruments,

  25. CRNA Vs Anesthesiologist

    heartICU replied to Nurse2BMonique21's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Not sure what you mean here. Are you asking if CRNAs can write a prescription to be filled a a pharmacy, such as a WalGreen's? Or are you asking if a CRNA can order various medications/treatments/etc....
