    UTRN2005 replied to joenl's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  2. crna school

    UTRN2005 replied to joenl's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    How did you get a 1690 on the GRE. I thought the max for verbal and quantitative were 800 each making the total test worth 1600. Then the writing is graded separate. Just

    UTRN2005 posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

  4. Austin CRNA's ? Which groups are better ?

    UTRN2005 replied to carachel2's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    The only group for CRNAs to practice in Austin is Capitol. The other hospital system in Austin doesn't use CRNAs at all. Capitol has a reputation for being pretty restrictive. I've spoken to a lot...

    UTRN2005 posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'm a new grad RN working in the MICU at a large teaching hospital. So far things are going well. The only problem is that since it is a large teaching facility the ICUs are very specialized so ALL...

  6. Can anyone explain to me a couple things about CVP??

    UTRN2005 replied to raindrop's topic in MICU, SICU

    I'm a BSN student graduating in Dec. I took an ICU class over the summer and we were told norm is 2-6. Just wanted to throw in what we were taught, but it looks like you've pretty much got it sorted...

  7. When to look for employment???

    UTRN2005 replied to oldnurse newnurse's topic in First Year After Licensure

    UTRN2005 replied to oldnurse newnurse's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I too am interested in an ICU spot. I called 6 hospitals that I'm interested and everyone told me to wait until October to apply. Some did not even know which of their system hospitals would be...

    UTRN2005 posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    To all the CRNAs and SRNAs, are you happy with where you chose to attend school? If not, why and what would you want to be changed? If you want to mention what school you attend/attended I would...

    UTRN2005 posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Sorry if this has been asked before (I did a search but couldn't find anything). I'm beginning to look at CRNA Schools and trying to figure out my top choices as well as get more info on different...

    UTRN2005 replied to UTRN2005's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I have read the stickies and while informative they dealt more with the career of anesthesia rather than what information would be good to ask prospective schools when tyring to narrow the...

  13. Anyone Taking Thyroid Medications? I Need Your Help!!!

    UTRN2005 replied to live4today's topic in General Nursing

    If they're putting you on Cytomel and Synthroid to get a combo of T3 and T4 why not just change it to Armour? I'm borderline hypothyroid. My levels were at the cut off for normal but my mother is...

  14. Medical-type question

    UTRN2005 replied to MichaelLooney's topic in General Nursing

    Do you snore? If so my bet would be for sleep apnea. My boyfriend just got a CPAP because he has apnea. It would be worth checking into if the ride situation works

    UTRN2005 replied to Purple Princess's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the warm salt water (chicken broth works well too, as does tea with honey). Also be sure to drink a lot of water in general. Those two things usually can get me through. One home remedy...

    UTRN2005 replied to Khadijah2's topic in General Nursing

    Not sure about the CNM rankings but the CRNA rankings were based basically on the reputation that a particular school had with other schools. So the heads of other schools voted for which program...

  18. Nurse Anesthetists: We Have the Wrong Attitude!

    UTRN2005 replied to gassyjon's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Whoa...I did not question your credentials. I merely asked where you went to school. Based on the information I could find you "should" not be old enough to have 2 years of experience as a CRNA. I was...

  19. Nurse Anesthetists: We Have the Wrong Attitude!

    UTRN2005 replied to gassyjon's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Just curious but where did you go to school. Correct me if I'm wrong but according to your profile your DOB is in 79 which would make you 26. You also said you had been a CRNA for 2 years meaning...

    UTRN2005 replied to Katydidit34's topic in Ob/Gyn
