  3. RN intubating in the ED

    mwbeah replied to matt033174's topic in Emergency

    First question: Is there an airway specialist in house on-call (ie. CRNA, MDA?) Second question: How large is your hospital, why wouldn't an airway specialist be available (if your hospital is that...

    mwbeah replied to malenursetobe@21's topic in Men in Nursing

    18 years, my friend, started as PVT now CPT and will retire in 10 more years. You have no idea who I am as a person, do you? If I know you speak up, let me know! .......... But I don't think you have...

  6. What type of Automobiles do you drive as a nurse.

    mwbeah replied to malenursetobe@21's topic in Men in Nursing

  8. RN intubating in the ED

    mwbeah replied to matt033174's topic in Emergency

    I think you could do it. The tough part would be the justification to the administration, you know they will ask "how removing a nurse for extensive training will increase the profit margin for...

  9. RN intubating in the ED

    mwbeah replied to matt033174's topic in Emergency

    Alot of the issue is also situation dependent, can you ventilate or not, etc. The Airway algorithm would have to be included in the competency.

  10. RN intubating in the ED

    mwbeah replied to matt033174's topic in Emergency

    If a more experienced provider couldn't get the tube after 3 tries, I would pull out the FOB or get the trach set out. Time is of the essence. (would this be a patient decompensating rapidly or a...

  11. RN intubating in the ED

    mwbeah replied to matt033174's topic in Emergency

    I would only add that you develop some sort of biannual exam (covering the anatomy, medications, procedures and equipment involved in the intubating experience). There would have to be case scenarios...

  15. What type of Automobiles do you drive as a nurse.

    mwbeah replied to malenursetobe@21's topic in Men in Nursing

    "Self-absorbed"..... that's funny..... I am not the one actually giving credence to the ridiculous question of "what kind of car I drive". That is something a high school student asks, not a...

  16. What type of Automobiles do you drive as a nurse.

    mwbeah replied to malenursetobe@21's topic in Men in Nursing

    I hope you appreciate that "personal freedom", and I would hope if you see a young disabled veteran struggling on the street because he or she is an amputee that you would offer a ride in that...

    mwbeah replied to malenursetobe@21's topic in Men in Nursing

  19. What type of Automobiles do you drive as a nurse.

    mwbeah replied to malenursetobe@21's topic in Men in Nursing

    I drive a car that is reliable and gets me to work on time everytime....... This question is extremely materialistic and offensive. Who cares what kind of vehicle you drive as long as you do your job....

    mwbeah replied to Ekklesia's topic in Men in Nursing

    this is some background on that first nursing course in india. the charaka (vol i, section xv) states these men should be, "of good behavior, distinguished for purity, possessed of cleverness and...

  21. Does the term 'Nurse' bother you?

    mwbeah replied to Ekklesia's topic in Men in Nursing

    the first nursing school in the world was started in india in about 250 bc. it was attended by only men (they were pretty harsh to women at that time). our history in nursing runs deep, be proud of...

  23. Anyone have any experience with anesthesia assistants compared to CRNAs ?

    mwbeah replied to MilwaukeeMike's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Just wanted to clear up your misinformation on H&Ps. Regulation 40-68 defines the CRNA scope of practice. MDAs do not have to "sign off" our H&P. If your facility is doing that, then it is...

  24. Anesthesia Clinical question (Ketamine)

    mwbeah replied to CougRN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  25. Anesthesia Clinical question (Ketamine)

    mwbeah replied to CougRN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I totally agree, you know as well as I that as long as it is used in 0.5 to 1.0 mg/kg the patients do not need long at all to recover. Even with higher doses, typically (with my experience) they...
