  1. MD RN Crossover

    gaslinq replied to asdpjr05rn's topic in International Nursing

    :nono:Hi there. Congratulations on passing your USMLE requirements. However, I do have to disagree with you about your attitude towards ADNs vis-a-vis your perceived lofty BSN-RN-MD status. I noticed...

  2. NCLEX assistance please..

    gaslinq replied to hael171972's topic in International Nursing

    You can take the NCLEX without the SSN but the California BON will not release your license until you have a SSN. They may ask you to explain in writing why you do not have a SSN and you can say that...

  3. I-140 approved, hospital not willing to hire?

    gaslinq replied to Mike_RN's topic in International Nursing

    Hi! Same thing happened to me a few years back. The hospital had a change in administration and decided to rescind all job offers (something to do with preferred agencies) after approval of my I-140....

  4. Green Card

    gaslinq replied to suzanne4's topic in International Nursing

    Thanks for the prompt reply. I guess I have to go back to the drawing board and look for another employer. I should have clarified about the visa number. I know I don't have a visa number yet. I meant...

  5. Question on Lidocaine Toxicity via Local

    gaslinq replied to Joshua21's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I have seen one episode of Lidocaine toxicity and ,believe me, it was catastrophic, to say the least. It is not advisable to give more than 7 mg/kg of Lidocaine at one time. Epinephrine can be added...

  6. Green Card

    gaslinq replied to suzanne4's topic in International Nursing

    Dear Suzanne, I don't quite know where to post this since you are in so many forums (I mean that as a compliment to your dedication). Anyway, I have a bit of a problem. I was in the United States in...

  8. California CRNA Education

    gaslinq replied to Trixie36's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I took the GRE last year 21 years out of college and scored 1200. There's nothing to be afraid of. Unfortunately, I couldn't get into CRNA school due to some technicalities despite my extensive...

  9. is it muscle or technique for intubating?

    gaslinq replied to kestrel1121's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Remember that when intubating a live patient, most of the time, you will be giving a full-dose muscle relaxant unlike with a mannequin. It's more of technique than strength. Take your time, find the...

  10. Combined-regional general technique?

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

    It seems a shame to already have the epidural in and not use it during the procedure. Yes, you can give anesthetic through the epidural catheter and thus decrease the need for volatile agents. The key...

  11. Combined Spinal-epidurals

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

    I have been doing CSEs (combined-spinal/epidural ) for about 6 years now and I love the technique. Advantages include: 1) immediate onset (this would be a great boon to labor patients); 2) ability to...

    You can get your California Board of Nursing application online at www.rn.ca.gov. Fingerprint cards can be obtained at the US embassy in Manila or your local consulate and you can have your...

  13. Worst news for RNs from India, Philippines and China

    gaslinq replied to NYrnTX's topic in Immigration Advice

    I agree with Suzanne and Rep that nurses from the countries affected ahould not get discouraged and just go ahead with their processing as if the visa rules did not change. Many of my friends who...

  14. Please Help! How Did You All Scored 50 on the TSE?

    gaslinq replied to ayact's topic in International Nursing

    I recently took the TSE and got a 50. I think the problem is that people tend to spend time thinking of the "correct" answers to the questions. The secret is NOT to concentrate too much on impressing...

  15. visa screen nclex documentation

    gaslinq replied to sophiesylvie's topic in International Nursing

    As far as I know, the temporary license is issued when your application to take the NCLEX exam is approved by the Cal. BRN. Once you pass the exam, the temporary license (interim permit) expires. So,...

    gaslinq replied to sophiesylvie's topic in International Nursing
