    rn29306 posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    One of our facility's outlying centers just purchased a GlideScope intubation device. It looks like a Mac 3.5 on steriods with a video feed that allows you to see the intubation field on a monitor. I...

  7. Clinical - Induction Sequence and Ventilation

    rn29306 replied to charles-thor's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Ventilate before norcuron always, unless my anesthesiologist goes down the line pushing all syringes at once. You know how it is, some prefer to push their own drugs and you just have to let them be...

  8. Living While in CRNA School

    rn29306 replied to sonofsatan24's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Take the max on federal school loans - $18,500 a year. My in-state friends got a refund this semester for $6,100. Due to being out of state, I got $3,300. I paid some for this previous summer, they...

  9. Living While in CRNA School

    rn29306 replied to sonofsatan24's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    If you apply for a loan, say through Sallie Mae and still have a job with verifiable income, then this org will loan you about 40K if you want it. Try and apply for a loan after you have quit your job...

  13. CRNA Degree which title is better?

    rn29306 replied to CI-PLANTOGAS's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    How very true. I am kicking my posterior for going to a program like this. You have no idea of the BS classes and then thesis, just for our "nursing" personnel to stay "published", riding your...

  14. Clinical Topics

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

    I don't know, the preqs are so different for NP vs CRNA that most people will come to the CRNA forum anyway. So you figure he won't go for a pre-CRNA (which 99% of these postings are anyway), do you...

  15. opinions

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

    Agreed. Ever hear an orthopod cry about a certain instrument not being available on "his" tray and then the OR staff opens another sterile instrument tray just to obtain this one tool? That one tray...

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

    Designated SRNA here. I just tell them I am "one of the nurses with anesthesia and I will be with you in the OR, make sure you are comfortable, blah, blah". No questions, no raised eyebrows, ever. Our...

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

    This has been discussed at least two times previously. Here is one link: https://allnurses.com/forums/showthread.php?t=63698 My response #24 on the above link has another link to the same question....

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

    I agree. I was upfront with my manager when she asked the "Where do you see yourself in 5 years" question. What she got was a nurse that busted his hump to learn everything possible, perhaps offended...

  20. Regarding paramedics in ER..why are they paid so terribly ?

    rn29306 replied to carachel2's topic in Emergency

    No sweat taidan. And nurses as a whole usually aren't bad either. Exceptions are certainly on both sides and we both unfortunately run into these people on a daily basis. I worked in ER as a tech...

  21. If you can't say anything nice...

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

  22. What is beyond the CRNA position?

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

    Correct me if I am wrong, but I never alluded to the fact that these figures were base salary. All I said was CRNAs can make that much money and your statement above just validated my

  25. What is beyond the CRNA position?

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

    Certainly a valid set of questions, but do you have any idea what $200K + for a year's salary is and what that allows you to do, what that allows you to do for your family and extended family? What is...
