  1. Last Words before Induction.......

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

    While there are certainly differences among CRNAs, I think you will see that this is a global thing, a part of us that was and still is - being a nurse

  2. Last Words before Induction.......

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

    Had one ADD MDA who I don't think took his medicine that am tell a patient to "take one LAST deep breath". i understand his meaning as take a last one before the induction agent hit, but you should...

  3. The cost of anesthesia school..

    rn29306 posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    How much did you spend, in all, by your estimations for school and what was your money status at the time (using spouse's income to supplement, or total loans, what?). I'm not worried about it, I just...

  4. ICU's in GA

    rn29306 replied to blee1's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    While I agree with you generally, but do you honestly think all the healthy, ASA I people in Atlanta line up at Kennestone's ED doors? Number seen gives insight to who is admitted. As the OP can see,...

  5. ICU's in GA

    rn29306 replied to blee1's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Lived in Atlanta for 3 years working in units, then got into UTC at Chattanooga with Erlanger. I would suggest not working at Grady's units. Everyone knows in the region that you get stabilized in the...

  6. ICU's in GA

    rn29306 replied to blee1's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Get CV or SI at either of the hospitals you mentioned. MI will do, but you will see more invasive monitoring generally in a CI or Surgical unit than a medical. Both hospitals you mentioned are...

  8. Which bank is best for alternative loans?

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

    companies cut you off, either at what the school estimates the cost should be (23K for one year at my school) or 30K (last year) regardless of your having a job or not, at least in my experience. i...

  9. Which bank is best for alternative loans?

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

    Up until last year, Bank of America had one of the best deals - an unsecured loan, up to 30K. All fees were tacked onto this amount, in other words I took a check to the bank for 30K. No calculations...

  11. Day surgery patient stays overnight...

    rn29306 replied to IloveSnoopy's topic in General Nursing

    Neither myself or the OP was speaking of non-addicted patients running into unforseen problems post-op. What I believe he or she, myself included, was speaking about is the patients who: 1. Have their...

  12. Day surgery patient stays overnight...

    rn29306 replied to IloveSnoopy's topic in General Nursing

    It is absolutely absurd to feed this type of behavior. The ER docs have this down pat, you should see the type of crap some patients pull and what the nurses/docs handle it. This sounds like a MD...

  13. Going for endo with dilitation, meds they gave me before didn't work,Im petrified

    rn29306 replied to unite911's topic in Gastroenterology

    Thing to watch out for with rapid dosing of Fentanyl is chest wall rigidity, requiring positive pressure ventilation, either this breaks it or the resulting hypoxia does. A rare but potential problem...

  14. ER nurses compared to EMT's

    rn29306 replied to Dinith88's topic in Emergency

    On our CCT that also does scene and 911 backup, the RNs take lead when doing interfaq transports and paramedics take lead when doing 911 and trauma. Has worked out very well and all our people are top...

  15. Do CRNAs teach AAs in Clinical (at Emory)?

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

    Since going multi-site just this year, including 4 sites in northern Georgia, we were EXPLICITLY told that we could not be in the room with an AA. We were informed this is not only a COA rule, but...

  16. Who's going to Anesthesia school?

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

    Thanks for the reply. I never went there either, just wanted to know if you did the same as me or not. Thanks

  17. First person you meet

    rn29306 replied to needsmore$'s topic in Emergency

    Involved one time during an episode where a 6'4" crackhead BF kicked in the magnet-locked front door to the ER to get to where we were restraining his equally high-as-a-kite girlfriend (she was no...

  18. What they SHOULD teach in nursing school . . .

    rn29306 replied to MistyDawnRN06's topic in General Nursing

    That is one of the best stories I have heard. I had to read it twice just to make sure what I was thinking at first was what you meant. That should be a medical based "Priceless" ad. Thanks for the...

  19. Excelsior Degrees for CRNA programs?

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

    If I remember correctly, this person did not gain acceptance for other factors independent of the online

  20. Excelsior Degrees for CRNA programs?

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

    You got the PC answer. Meets requirements? Yes, you have a degree to prove it so they cannot deny you on that fact. Does this mean that the adcoms will look at your degree favorably? Hard to tell and...

  21. Excelsior Degrees for CRNA programs?

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

    I sat in on the interviews this year and one applicant was from U of Phoenix (i assume they are similar programs, if not then forgive me) and this subject was debated for some time. One argument was...

  22. Who's going to Anesthesia school?

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

    Did you ever go on campus or was this an interview granted after they reviewed your paperwork? Reason for questioning is that ODU was my second choice, but I got in after interviewing at UTC /...

  23. Propofol

    rn29306 replied to czipp's topic in Gastroenterology

    I say congratulations for standing up for what you believe, regardless of the subject matter, althought we CERTAINLY agree on this. How stupid do they think people are? I'm sure someone will fill this...

  24. Sigma Theta Tau

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

    While the monthly mags are quite a PITA, membership into that organization has carried alot of weight. Granted no one has asked me about it during my 1 interview, but membership gets noticed by other...

  25. Dental claims against your group's insurance

    rn29306 posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    For those of you practicing APs: About how many claims do you have a month for dental injury and approximately how much is paid out either per claim or total per month (even if they are bogus claims)?...
