  1. SRNA Senioritis

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

    Thanks athomas. I appreciate.

  2. SRNA Senioritis

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

    Not a knock at existing CRNAs, but we wonder why we even have to go in the first place. The anesthesia group as a whole pitched a vote before signing our contract. ALL the CRNAs voted not to have...

  3. SRNA Senioritis

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

    Money issues: Forget it for the duration of school. Money is simply an avenue or vehicle that will get you to your goal. It will be paid off when you get out. Dopamine gtts: I have made exactly two...

  4. SRNA Senioritis

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

    I've got a little shorter row than you - 41 days here. What really sucks is that next month I get to go get treated like a first day junior. We are treated as staff at my main level 1 teaching center....

  5. Suggestions of New Stethoscope?

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

    Whatever you do, get the longer standard version. Do not get the shorter length one, it's not really practical and for other obvious reasons. The difference in acoustics and length will not be...

  6. Pass or fail boards?

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

    Yay, Pookie passed!!

  7. Dr 90210

    rn29306 replied to tookewlandy's topic in General Nursing

    That guy is a tool. According to his fellow residents, he used to go to Target in his scrubs and opps, I left my littman stethescope on my neck. I mean come on, the sleeveless scrubs and then this,...

  8. Why SICU??

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

    I used to say this in the unit all the time, when I didn't know better. Until you have managed massive fluid shifts in the OR with profuse bleeding, don't be so quick to

  9. Welp got the final word from school...

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

    I remember this distinctly and the above was exactly what I was thinking when I wrote my first

  10. Welp got the final word from school...

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

    I can understand Mike's decision not to reveal his school. I for one have run my mouth too much on here and it would be indeed possible to ID me. Same for him. I mean all you have to do is call up the...

  11. Welp got the final word from school...

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

    CONGRATS!!!

  12. Any former paramedics here? Did it help to get in CRNA school?

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

    Just prior to getting in CRNA school, an opportunity to take the CCEMT-P course through UMBC was given and I jumped at the chance. I was bored being in the units and EDs all the time and the company...

  13. Trouble with Narcan

    rn29306 replied to mellomom's topic in General Nursing

    Dosing in this manner will certainly yield you a nice onset seizure, hopefully not a hypoxic brain event, and I would bet an MI will happen shortly if this protocol is

  14. Nurses are not "allowed"

    rn29306 replied to beautifulb's topic in General Nursing

    That is the most childish post I have ever read on here. No wonder they don't treat you like a

  17. Trouble with Narcan

    rn29306 replied to mellomom's topic in General Nursing

    EXCELLENT POST! I was waiting to see all the responses before inquiring about the dose everyone was using. 40 - 80 mcg will often, like AmiK25 said, get back respiratory function without sending...

  18. Call for Advice

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

    I bought cheap TP one time. Emphasis on one time. This stuff resembled the TP in public schools, ie the John Wayne kind. I believe wax cooking paper would have been better suited than this stuff....

  19. Genetic Abnormalities & Anesthesia

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

    These two immediately popped into my head. And I've had both happen to me inside of two years! Interesting management when you get hit with one of these rare instance

  20. The business of being a CRNA

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

    Don't worry, I've heard the new prosthetic hips are quite affordable, so you should be fine slacking off call.

  21. What Does a BSN have to do with CRNA?

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

    Very well

  22. Waiting after interview........

    rn29306 replied to ih8neuro's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    This is what I've heard. They asked some roundabout questions and I sure did volunteer the information myself, like most people I

  23. Clinical Quiz: Bite Blocks

    rn29306 replied to piper77's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    My main facility is heavy with the narcotics and I love it. One MD actually intubates most hearts with 30mls Fentanyl followed by 10mg norcuron, then a good 30ml flush of Fentanyl. Now I have never...

  24. CRNA or Medical School

    rn29306 replied to jkw_83RN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Well I'm not buying that you don't

  25. Admission to CRNA school

    rn29306 replied to ms. vanessa's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Probably not. I would imagine, at least in my experience interviewing and almost graduating here in August, that the schools / adcoms would rather see some clinical achievments (CCRN, CCEMT-P) and a...
