  1. Off topic- Places to stay

    NeuroNP replied to NeuroNP's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the info. I actually went to DC last month, but that's ok! :-) I ended up staying in Capitol Heights. The place wasn't great, but it was cheap! My only complaint was that it was not very...

  2. Best place to go

    NeuroNP replied to NeuroNP's topic in General Nursing

    CRNA = Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist. An RN who has recieved advanced training (and usually a Master's Degree or Doctoral Degree) in perioperative care and anesthesia. They provide...

  3. Resuscitation in the ICU

    NeuroNP replied to NeuroNP's topic in MICU, SICU

    So you have Trauma ICU nurses who respond to the ED? All we ever had was docs. The nurses were all ED. I always wondered if it might be a good idea to have some ICU nurses involved for continuity...

  4. Resuscitation in the ICU

    NeuroNP replied to NeuroNP's topic in MICU, SICU

    Well, possibly. I was actually thinking of a situation where the patient comes in to the ED and if they are coding, that is handled there, as well as the initial workup (CT, labs drawn etc.)...

  5. Universal Healthcare Questions

    NeuroNP posted a topic in International Nursing

    OK, I'm an American and I just read "Nursing:Against the Odds" by Suzanne Gordon. In it, she makes a strong push for Universal Healthcare, claiming that not only will it help people, but actually...

  6. Md's Against Crna's?

    NeuroNP replied to LLL123's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    See the newest feel-good-about-your-doctor commercial by the AMA. It has a mother and her young daughter thanking the MD who took care of the girl in the NICU years ago. No mention of the round the...

  8. Question about MSN options

    NeuroNP posted a topic in Post Graduate Students

    I have a B.A. in History and am completing an ADN. It is much cheaper for me to go this route than the 2nd degree BSN (tuition is about 1/3) and since I'm older (30) and need to work full-time, this...

  9. Boston Globe series on ICU Nursing....

    NeuroNP replied to papawjohn's topic in MICU, SICU

    The closest thing I could find was one called "A Crash Course in Saving Lives" but you had to pay to read it. Is that

  10. Anesthesia and the Morbidly Obese

    NeuroNP posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I was reading an article the other day about how hospitals are incorporating a lot of the design features that have been used specifically for bariatric patients in other areas of the hospital because...

  11. What does a Trauma Nurse Prcatitioner do?

    NeuroNP replied to Firemedic7's topic in General Nursing

    I can't speak from personal experience, we don't use NPs where I am. But I spoke once to a Trauma NP at Vandy. She told me that they respond to alerts in the ED, see patients in the ICUs and...

  12. Tampa

    NeuroNP posted a topic in Florida Nursing

    Hello, I'm looking at relocating after graduation and I was looking for information about Tampa and specifically TGH. I want to go into Critical Care (or possibly ER/Trauma) and then eventually I'd...

  13. Weird, Odd Nurses Behavior.....

    NeuroNP replied to cre8tivRN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the person who said they rewrite the board. I used to do that when I was working in the ED. We had a competized patient board, but we wrote the assignments on a dry erase board (along...

  14. ADN with previous B.S. enough?

    NeuroNP replied to troyb's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    So, does he have a BS in Biochem? Or does he have an ADN and 2 years of work TOWARDS a BS? I'm

  15. Vent settings?

    NeuroNP replied to raindrop's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    Ditto

  16. RRNA or SRNA for title, What is your opinion?

    NeuroNP replied to TexasCCRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    One of my points in brining up the whole MD vs DO issue (and I didn't properly articulate this) was that when DOs came along, they were an "alternative" to alopathic medicine. I'm sure that they...

  17. ER - Trauma difference?

    NeuroNP replied to nursing 101's topic in Emergency

    That is an interesting idea. I remember a nurse I worked with told me at someplace she toured in preparation for an overhaul of our Level I (Vandy maybe?) they do something similar. All trauma...

  18. Practice outside the OR?

    NeuroNP posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Is your practice as a CRNA strictly limited to the OR? I know MDAs often work in ICUs as well. Also, they tend to get called for difficult airways and line placement. Do any of these scenarios...

  19. Practice outside the OR?

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

    Anyone know of a case of combining a CRNA and ACNP education in critical care? How would this kind of practice

  20. RRNA or SRNA for title, What is your opinion?

    NeuroNP replied to TexasCCRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    A friend of mine was considering going to DO school and my parents told him that when THEY were young, DOs were considered (even by MDs, much less the general public) to be less qualified and were put...

  21. Clinical Topics

    NeuroNP replied to yoga crna's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I think that the key here is going to be the SRNAs and practicing CRNAs starting these. I know that I'd LOVE to read some threads like this, but as I'm not in CRNA school yet, my knowledge/experience...

  22. Question about Master's options

    NeuroNP posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    OK, I hate to add another non-clinical topic, but here goes....I have a B.A. in History and am completing an ADN. It is much cheaper for me to go this route than the 2nd degree BSN (tuition is about...

  23. Clinical Topics

    NeuroNP replied to yoga crna's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I agree. While I am not a CRNA or even a SRNA/RRNA/Whatever-RNA yet, that is my ambition and I enjoy reading the clinical discussions. I find the application discussions interesting as well, but it...

  24. Dress code

    NeuroNP posted a topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Someone told me that for infection control purposes, lab coats are not allowed in the NICU, but when I observed at a different hospital (private, no residents, no fellows), the docs wore street...

  25. Double Standard with Sexual Harassment

    NeuroNP replied to NeuroNP's topic in Men in Nursing

    Wow. That's got to be annoying. I would hate to have someone "pseudo-stalking" me like
