  1. Books?

    rn29306 replied to JiffyGriff's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Due to being a paperback, it wore out after a year of constant usage and probably the daily traction of being in my rear pocket. Senior year rolls around - ordered another one. Awesome book that will...

  2. Becoming a CRNA

    rn29306 replied to mwbeah's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    No program I know of considers OR time "acute". OR nursing has no patient contact, minimal (if any) drug administration, and no titration of vasoactive medications or vent exposure. Anesthesia...

    Here's something for you to sink your teeth into: Most programs require this as a text anyway, so for the most part this shouldn't be wasted money Basics of Anesthesia Robert K. Stoelting Ronald D....

    rn29306 replied to Dreamweaver2be's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    All my schools required me to hand the letters of rec back into them along with the respective application. The letters of rec were supposed to be sealed by the evaluator and then signed with their...

    rn29306 replied to fotografe's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'm finishing up my last year of CRNA school and I once got sick right before getting into BSN school one day at the vet's office watching a cat get spayed / neutered. What you gotta do is condition...

  10. Why Mayo CRNA program is not top rated?

    rn29306 replied to WestCoastRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  11. Why Mayo CRNA program is not top rated?

    rn29306 replied to WestCoastRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    A guy from my class had the same experience as far as being a non-Mayo nurse. When it was obvious that the overwhelming majority of Mayo staff nurses were going to get accepted, he asked a big wig...

    rn29306 replied to crna2bee's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Not to knock this story or you personally, but some details seem a little off like Nitecap stated. Only a moron in this day and age of anesthetic development would choose a narcotic and paralytic...

  16. Propofol

    rn29306 replied to czipp's topic in Gastroenterology

  17. Different ways to skin the cat..

    rn29306 replied to SedareDolorem's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I agree athomas91. Our facility favors iso vs sevo and most MDs prefer not to extubate OETTs deep but will pull LMAs deep every time. Not that they are around on most extubations with CRNAs, but we as...
