  5. Be-littling CRNA's

    rn29306 replied to forane2001's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    TraumaNurse, are we in the same class?? Just joking, but your situation mirrors mine. I was going to write, but your post was much more eloquent. Why this is, I really don't know, but such is life....

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

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

    don't worry, it has festered up here in the south also: fevers, chills, voice gone, coughing and extreme pain to anterior middle area of right lung when coughing. an unrestricted cough = excrutitating...

  10. Opportunities for RNs in the Field

    rn29306 replied to EricTAMUCC-BSN's topic in Flight, Surface Transport

    Anyone ever notice how, when you roll into a receving facility with a IABP going full boogie on a intubated pt, people part like the red sea, your name tag may as well read Moses. These guys usually...

  11. Opportunities for RNs in the Field

    rn29306 replied to EricTAMUCC-BSN's topic in Flight, Surface Transport

    I also did interfac tx and trauma backup on a highly stocked MICU, including onboard DataScop IABP and that experience was awesome. Sometimes RNs at facilities (esp referring) tried to give up crap...

    rn29306 replied to starcandy's topic in General Nursing

    I believe that the term "corids" covers a wide variety of large lumen central lines. In my unit, the introducers that were always associated with floating a Swan catheter (the ones with the side...

  13. Cordis cath ???

    rn29306 replied to starcandy's topic in General Nursing

    Alot of times you may see these used on trauma center patients. If I am not mistaken, they are a part of the "trauma protocol" at our center. The flow rates are incredible. When used with a Level 1...

  14. NP or CRNA

    rn29306 replied to sushinurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    What I honestly do not understand is how the argument of having limited patient contact as a CRNA holds true to some people. As a SRNA and previous ICU RN, I feel I am in more contact with my patients...

  15. ICU nurse managers lack of support.......

    rn29306 replied to melrey11's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    There are two sides to every story. The reason I can say this in earnest is that I was one who went the the unit after BSN and then to CRNA school 3 years after. I was turned onto anesthesia even in...

  16. Opportunities for RNs in the Field

    rn29306 replied to EricTAMUCC-BSN's topic in Flight, Surface Transport

    Let's all hold hands and sing "Its a small world after all". That means you and I were in the same class. I ended up working with them on MIC1. I'm going to PM

  17. Opportunities for RNs in the Field

    rn29306 replied to EricTAMUCC-BSN's topic in Flight, Surface Transport

    Eric, you are where I was 3 years ago. After a while in the unit (1 year after orientation) I wanted to go outside the doors of the hospital and get knee-deep into EMS or flight to add some diversity...

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

    I totally agree. I was not making fun of you at all....you just put it better than I ever could. I mean, what is more important here? BS or anesthesia?? Actually, thanks for venting.

  22. programs to stay away from?

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

    Boy did you hit the nail on the head. It really is difficult to have these "fluff" classes going on when the renal section of Guyton (our medical physiology book), plus cadaver lab and patient...
