  1. What area of undergraduate research would you suggest?

    Xsited2baNurse posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hello all! I have a question that I'd like to ask concerning undergraduate research and how to focus it on subject matter that a CRNA school selection committee and/or an ICU HR rep would look on as...

  2. Useless degree! At what point do you quit trying?

    Xsited2baNurse replied to SuburbanGypsy's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Albert Einstein's definition of insanity: "Trying the same thing over and over again, expecting different results." There are nursing jobs. If you can't find work in your current area as a nurse,...

  4. Just finished my first semester. Ask me anything.

    Xsited2baNurse replied to MeTheRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Honestly, I just kind of have questions about the admission criteria and financing. What was the average profile of the accepted applicant? What questions did they ask you during your interview that...

  7. Best Hospital in Indianapolis

    Xsited2baNurse replied to P. Owu's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Aren't they closing St. Francis-BG down here pretty soon? I only ask because I have a friend whose mom works there, and it seemed like she said that they were going to be closing sometime within the...

  8. How bolus infusions of NaCl may affect low sodium levels...?

    Xsited2baNurse posted a topic in General Nursing

    So, the other day in clinical I had an elderly patient who had low sodium levels and low blood pressure. They gave the pt two bolus infusions of NaCl to help get his/her bp back up, and afterward my...

  9. How bolus infusions of NaCl may affect low sodium levels...?

    Xsited2baNurse replied to Xsited2baNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Btw, update... I asked another instructor about the hypovolemic hyponatremia scenario, and she was as confused as I as to why the other instructor would say that the NS would dilute the Na+ even...

  10. How bolus infusions of NaCl may affect low sodium levels...?

    Xsited2baNurse replied to Xsited2baNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, it does. I completely agree :) I was just giving an example of a scenario someone couldn't counter by talking about membrane permeability and the creation of osmotic pressure differentials...

  11. How bolus infusions of NaCl may affect low sodium levels...?

    Xsited2baNurse replied to Xsited2baNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Seconded What happens if the body begins to produce aldosterone during a hyponatremic phase that's being treated with NS? I may only be a student nurse right now, but I would almost bet money that...

  12. Anti-CRNA website= such B.S.!!!!

    Xsited2baNurse replied to ICU, RN, BSN, B.S.'s topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    4 years of med school= catching up to the 4 years of school dedicated primarily to medicine, microbiology, and patient care that a BSN delivers. 4 year residency in anesthesia=2 to 3 years CRNA...

    Xsited2baNurse replied to Xsited2baNurse's topic in General Nursing

    btw, that 2006 in the reference is supposed to be

  14. How bolus infusions of NaCl may affect low sodium levels...?

    Xsited2baNurse replied to Xsited2baNurse's topic in General Nursing

    @ GrnTea I started reading that, but, what on Earth? Saline isn't water and salt? What is it then, just water? Ummmm...no. I'm sorry to be so blunt, but you are the only, and I mean ONLY person I...

  15. How bolus infusions of NaCl may affect low sodium levels...?

    Xsited2baNurse replied to Xsited2baNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Woops. That entire time I was thinking hypo. The member to whom I responded said hypo, I was thinking hypo, have been thinking hypo this entire time, but for some reason I wrote hyper. Sorry . If...

  16. How bolus infusions of NaCl may affect low sodium levels...?

    Xsited2baNurse replied to Xsited2baNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, which is where I got confused...because given that the pt's sodium concentration levels [should've been] lower than the 0.9 percent NaCl, that doesn't make sense. The water pulled out from the...

  17. How bolus infusions of NaCl may affect low sodium levels...?

    Xsited2baNurse replied to Xsited2baNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Hmmm...probably so. Although, her exact words were "even though there's 0.9% NaCl in the solution, it's enough fluid to dilute the original Na+ even more." I thought that she was specifically...

  18. How bolus infusions of NaCl may affect low sodium levels...?

    Xsited2baNurse replied to Xsited2baNurse's topic in General Nursing

    well, going off what you're saying, i feel as though after the introduction of the ns into the ecf, the volume of ic h2o that would be leaving the cells would only be enough to reestablish the na+...

  19. How bolus infusions of NaCl may affect low sodium levels...?

    Xsited2baNurse replied to Xsited2baNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I. am. loving. all this information you all are throwing my way. Thank you all so much! From the sounds of all of it, though, it seems as though my instructor may have fed me some misinformation....

  20. How bolus infusions of NaCl may affect low sodium levels...?

    Xsited2baNurse replied to Xsited2baNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Now, wait a second. An increase in fluid volume doesn't automatically equate to an increased output of Na+. There can be fluid excretion that doesn't necessitate the movement of Na+ particles out of...

  21. Doc Wannabe?

    Xsited2baNurse replied to nursemike's topic in Men in Nursing

    Well, when I originally applied to my first round of undergrad, I said that I wanted to be a doctor. I honestly only did that so that I could get scholarships to go to school, which is what ended up...

  22. Speaking foreign languages

    Xsited2baNurse replied to wanderlust99's topic in General Nursing

    Ehhhh, when you're an MD, RN, LPN, or Resp Tech taking care of patients, you really shouldn't habitually talk in a foreign language, if you're within earshot of your clients. It'll just cause anxiety...

  23. Does it bother CRNA's that MDA's get so much more...?

    Xsited2baNurse replied to ICU, RN, BSN, B.S.'s topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    A war? With affordability on the side of the CRNAs, the only ones who would even have the time to show up to the battlefield would be the MDAs. The CRNAs would be too busy in the OR, asking about...
