  1. Accepted at MTSA

    rn29306 replied to nursenary57's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    The reason I ask stems from a conversation I had with an AA at one of the clinical sites I was rotating at in Georgia. This particular guy said he could tell whether AA was trained at Case Western or...

  2. paramedic nursing

    rn29306 replied to mcgill01's topic in Flight, Surface Transport

    I worked as a CCEMT-P Prehospital RN on a mobile ICU also for scene and interfacility transport calls. It was just a question. Having worked with a great number of EMS providers, I have great respect...

  3. propofol

    rn29306 replied to popbob's topic in Emergency

    As a staff RN, why allow yourself to get in this position in the first place? You are delivering a general anesthetic to an unintubated patient, not for conscious sedation, but to appease an MD that...

    rn29306 replied to nursenary57's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    What, if any, is the interaction with the AAs at Case

  5. paramedic nursing

    rn29306 replied to mcgill01's topic in Flight, Surface Transport

    How many times in the past 12 years have you performed a surgical airway or central access in

  6. Why can't you go straight to CRNA School from BSN?

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

    The neighbors from downstairs are beating on their ceiling because I am laughing so loud. Man, you should write a book or something, if not then at least do standup. I remember those days, kinda glad...

  7. propofol

    rn29306 replied to popbob's topic in Emergency

    Adult patients that absolutely cannot hold or maintain position during MRI for whatever emotional or physical reasons should be IV induced and an LMA or OETT inserted, allowed to regain spontaneous...

  8. Lap Chole and Narcotics

    rn29306 replied to bwt02's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Interactions between anesthesia providers, patients, and surgeons: The half-asleep monitoring the half-awake being operated on by the

  9. OR patients bypass PACU for ICU

    rn29306 replied to fedupnurse's topic in PACU

    I'm in anesthesia and was wondering why staff RNs should be doing the job of anesthesia. Narcan is not an anesthetic reversal either, nor should it be used as such. Staff RNs should not have to do...

  10. Lap Chole and Narcotics

    rn29306 replied to bwt02's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    How did these guys look in PACU after narcan? Three out of four times that I have ever had to give it, these pts required labetalol in the post-op period, despite using very small incremental dosing...

  11. Whats with the tape?

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

    Forget tape. Tegaderm rules. Cost? You gotta be kidding me. I've seen plenty of tape jobs with the eyes still slighly open. Take the two dollars out of my salary. What is hilarious is everyone...

  12. OR patients bypass PACU for ICU

    rn29306 replied to fedupnurse's topic in PACU

    Can you please elaborate on what exactly you mean by "anesthesia

  13. Tuition reimbursement with first CRNA job.

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

    I can't really tell you or anyone why there was not a CRNA position. Perhaps the hospital hired too many CRNAs or perhaps they lost an anesthetizing area, such as a sugergy center and didn't need the...

  14. propofol

    rn29306 replied to popbob's topic in Emergency

    What is rather amusing is that I have been where you and many others are currently. Then I have gone to where you and also many others have not gone also. I've been on both sides of the fence and I...

  15. propofol

    rn29306 replied to popbob's topic in Emergency

    So does this mean that a trained, field tested paramedic is present during NAP? Until you have managed close to 1000 anesthetics and close to the same number of airways, you have no idea of what you...

  16. Tuition reimbursement with first CRNA job.

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

    She works at my facility and that whole deal was a sham. Nitecap is right. The contract never stated employment as a CRNA position. They offered a staff RN position after completing CRNA school....

  17. Double Lumen LMA for Lap procedures?

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

    That was also what the mfg reps were touting also - the expanded roles of the double lumen LMA vs the 'regular' LMA. Have not seen this in practice anywhere in TN or GA.

  18. CRNA accused of sexual misconduct

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

    I've heard that sub-induction doses of propofol, and esp during MAC cases, produces very intense and vivid dreams, and have had patients even go so far as to describe these dreams as "warm". I would...

  19. CRNA accused of sexual misconduct

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

    My previous EMS Director of Operations in Atlanta (very talented Paramedic, CCEMT-P certified) had a procedure done, was induced with propofol and much to the delight of the anesthesia staff, and I'm...

  20. Minority SRNA/CRNA's

    rn29306 replied to srnabound3997's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    In the past three years of both seeing the existing classes and just recently seeing the potential interviewers for next year, there are only two minorities that I can remember. One girl never came...

  21. Propofol

    rn29306 replied to czipp's topic in Gastroenterology

    The Georgia Board of Nursing just addressed this issue. No RNs will be pushing Propofol on unintubated patients. Hospitals are making policy in light of the GBON's take on the propofol

  22. prone positioning and pt. blindness

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

    One of our spine docs likes to angle the bed with head down and feet up while prone and I'm not talking about a little positioning either. This adds further pressure to the eyes than just regular...

  23. Question re Post-Op Amnesia

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

    I started to take bait and run with this. I wondered who else would go for it.

  24. Check out this site!

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

    It appears as if it was developed by the Augusta MCG senior anesthesia students for those that are thinking about nurse anesthesia as a profession. There are no bugs or downloads and your computer...

  25. is a suit too much...

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

    Same here. Just don't get the left and right hand doors mixed up like I did on interview day and instead of going into anesthesia sec's office, I went into ladies locker room...... Seriously, you show...
