    CRNA Mills?

    murseman24 replied to stevena9's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    There is one school in FL that had a lawsuit brought up against it, did not have all their appropriate accreditation at one time, and has recently changed owners. I would avoid that one. Otherwise,...

    EKG interpretation help

    murseman24 replied to helloxjello's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    LOL, horrible strip to "learn" It is tricky. I would venture to say first degree AV block with ventricular bigeminy. Yes, the T-waves are inverted, I believe this is called a "ventricular strain"...

    IV Insulin and Cardizem

    murseman24 replied to NurseBettyICU's topic in Patient Medications

    I generally agree with you, and when possible to have an extra IV running to give antibiotics and other drugs is usually required/essential. However, in the interim it is perfectly safe to run these...

    PMHNP Vs. Psychiatry MD

    murseman24 replied to ICantthinkofagooddisplayname's topic in Advanced Practice

    I think if you can do med school then do it. More money, no restrictions, can pick any specialty you want. For me the worst part of APRN is the politics with the MDs. You will not be questioned...

    IV Insulin and Cardizem

    murseman24 replied to NurseBettyICU's topic in Patient Medications

    Just Y the meds low in the tubing using a few 3-way stopcocks or adding a connector with multiple ports as close as possible to the IV. The issue is that if there is a large amount of say, insulin in...

    Nurse Practitioner Needed/Not Needed?

    murseman24 replied to Sigrimis's topic in Advanced Practice

    Awesome, glad you are enjoying your practice. I love what I do as well. Southeast U.S. for 5 years. I would say find a job where you can practice to your full scope and make yourself marketable....

    Justifying the cost of an Ivy League Nursing Education

    murseman24 replied to Barbiegirl1229's topic in General Students

    I'm assuming these students meant some kind of NP not administrator? If one wants to work in admin wouldn't it make more sense to go to business school? Isn't there a master's level degree for...

    Nurse Practitioner Needed/Not Needed?

    murseman24 replied to Sigrimis's topic in Advanced Practice

    No, I understand your general premise, the over saturation of NPs in large metros is obvious, I'm sorry it wasn't for you before you wasted your money. I'm choosing to elaborate on the part of your...

    Tips on Getting an ICU Job as a New Grad

    murseman24 replied to CSTtoFutureNP's topic in Critical Care

    Get a job as a tech in the ICU if you can, that's prob your best bet. And from your handle, and the fact you already work in the OR, don't even mention you know what a CRNA is to

    Nurse Practitioner Needed/Not Needed?

    murseman24 replied to Sigrimis's topic in Advanced Practice

    May I ask what experience you are speaking from? It's a little silly to flippantly suggest CRNA school as an easy alternative to NP school. The barriers to entry are a lot higher, the path more...

    Justifying the cost of an Ivy League Nursing Education

    murseman24 replied to Barbiegirl1229's topic in General Students

    Yeah, for administration I could see where this might be helpful, I don't understand someone going into nursing with the explicit goal of becoming an administrator though. I personally love hands on...

    Justifying the cost of an Ivy League Nursing Education

    murseman24 replied to Barbiegirl1229's topic in General Students

    Yes, because they make 400K+ and some residencies are incredibly competitive. That would make much more sense to go to an Ivy League med school when you have to compete for an arthropod,...

    Justifying the cost of an Ivy League Nursing Education

    Justifying the cost of an Ivy League Nursing Education

    murseman24 replied to Barbiegirl1229's topic in General Students

    If it's cheaper to get into one of these schools like it was for FullGlass, then by all means go there, I'm sure it gives one an edge and you gain some unique experiences that otherwise would not have...

    A rant and a question re: CRNA master’s program

    murseman24 replied to RN_2001's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I had pretty similar statistics when I applied. I no longer feel special. Everyone in CRNA school is smart and motivated. You can work during the extra 8 months that it takes to complete the DNP...

    Quality of Online NP Programs and Providers

    murseman24 replied to ProgressiveThinking's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    My last comment on this topic. Lets try to make this objective. Let us define "desirable" as the amount of people who want to live somewhere / the amount of people who don't. These cities,...

    Severe vasovagal response.

    murseman24 replied to asystolesurgery's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Of course the surgeon said that it was safe to proceed ?. Did anesthesia let the case go? I think you did fine, the CRNA was there so technically it was really up to them. Just ACLS when things go...

    CRNA school application help

    murseman24 replied to asd asd's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Which schools did you apply to? I'm thinking that may be your answer. There are quite a few who would accept you I believe, but with the most selective your gpa is probably holding you back. Also...
