  1. HPSP for NP

    ckh23 replied to jmharrold's topic in Government, Military

    Hang in there, you will get your money. They will pay for missed stipend payments backdated to your date of commission when you swore in. You will keep a lump sum payment followed by your stipend on...

  2. "Deployments not associated with increased suicide risk"

    ckh23 replied to wtbcrna's topic in Government, Military

    I couldn't agree more. I also find it suspect how they don't take into account survivors guilt and how they don't distinguish between types of deployments. They don't go into detail about the suicides...

  3. CRNA school loans (for a guy like me)

    ckh23 replied to mattcbr's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    The grad plus loan can provide a nice chunk of your income. The private loans seem harder to come by these days. A lot of people live off of less then $40k a year. Perhaps you need to tighten your...

  4. BSN patient outcomes

    ckh23 replied to S.G.'s topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Yes let us promote laziness. The OP freely admits he/she did zero research on the topic, which includes searches of past threads. I guess we should just start answering all the homes,Orkney questions...

  6. Abdominal IV

    ckh23 replied to dmurph615's topic in General Nursing

    If it works than the site is fine. What kind of rationale is "inappropriate site because I have never seen one"? This is why I can't stand most nursing

  7. Waking up in the OR

    ckh23 replied to Kidrn911's topic in General Nursing

  12. NAPS (Nurse Administered Propofol Sedation)

    ckh23 replied to Student Mom to Three's topic in Patient Medications

    I would be ok with that. Fentanyl is very forgiving and you won't see respiratory depression with the doses of versed used for sedation in out pt procedures. As far as fentanyl, as you mentioned it...

  14. NAPS (Nurse Administered Propofol Sedation)

    ckh23 replied to Student Mom to Three's topic in Patient Medications

    Never heard of it but sounds dangerous. Of course the GI docs are for it because it would be more $$$ for them instead if having anesthesia there. What is going to happen when a patient goes apneic or...

  17. So many questions.

    ckh23 replied to TooManyCats's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    You will not be too old. The oldest person in my class now is 41. You just have to realize, which it sounds like you already do, that this will not happen over night and since you are starting from...

    Congrats. Thanks for the info about Prodigy because that what I have and hopefully it will help me just as much in about a

  19. CRNA for Pennsylvania Schools

    ckh23 replied to ICURNuts's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I think it will depend on the program. There are 4 people in my class now that come from a pediatric background. The clinical stuff is just a small part of the interview. It is more of a chance to...

    ckh23 replied to PediLove2147's topic in Patient Medications

  21. S.T.R.A.P.

    ckh23 replied to mingorn's topic in Government, Military

    Yes you can use STRAP for school and use it in combination with your GI Bill. Depends on which branch you talk to about STRAP. When I applied it was not available, but then became available six months...

  23. Warfarin and lovenox

    ckh23 replied to usRNs's topic in Patient Medications

    I think a call to the doc would have been warranted because of the continued bleeding. You should also review your coag pathway because each med works on the different pathways and Lovenox will not...

  24. The road to becoming a CRNA

    ckh23 replied to MGoldRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I would also recommend to start preparing financially. You have the benefit of time right now so use it wisely. Save your money, pay off all the loans you can. School is going to be between 2.5-3...

  25. The road to becoming a CRNA

    ckh23 replied to MGoldRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Yes this sounds. I would suggest shadowing a CRNA a few times to see if it is something you truly want to do. CRNA school is no joke and you will invest a lot of time, money, and effort doing this....
