    boushie87 replied to edogs334's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    boushie87 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have actually not heard of any other mixture in this area (central NY) or western NY being used for IV sedation for 3rd molar removals so curious why in these situations you think it's so unsafe...

  11. Who does Dental anesthesia?

    boushie87 replied to dopemup's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    It's an oral surgery suite, not a clinic which i'm sure makes a difference in the people he has assisting and the care he

  19. Diagnoses you never thought you'd see?

    boushie87 replied to KarafromPhilly's topic in General Nursing

    I would just like to say that 90% of babies born (and most are not) living with Trisomy 13 and 18 die within 1 week, most within a few hrs. 99% die within 1 year. So it is very rare to live with these...

    boushie87 replied to ginaw623's topic in General Nursing
