  1. Tylenol IV

    Phishininau replied to Adri_RN's topic in Patient Medications

    I'm aware that ofirmev doesn't have to be a substitute. I was trying to offer an example in that if you want NSAID coverage and you believe the increased bleeding risk mantra with relation to single...

  2. Tylenol IV

    Phishininau replied to Adri_RN's topic in Patient Medications

    Ketorolac (TORADOL) isn't contraindicated in all of those cases. You should reduce dose from 30mg to 15mg when the pt has elevated renal numbers, or delayed creatinine clearance. It also is not...

  3. Difference between Nurse Anesthesia School and Nursing School???

    Phishininau replied to prosperouschick's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Honestly, it's like comparing apples and lightbulbs. They are in no way similar, except that they are both in the field of nursing (barely, IMO). I never opened a book for my BSN - only had to...

  4. CRNA's: What luxuries did you allow yourself after graduating and starting work ?

    Phishininau replied to Fill my brain's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  6. Just took CRNA boards - help

    Phishininau replied to bonol15226's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I have heard of people taking all 170 and passing, and I have heard of people taking 100 and failing. The computer will shut off when you either prove your competence or prove your incompetence....

  7. Who wants a bicarb question?

    Phishininau replied to gluck's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Bicarb accounts for 50% of the body's buffering system. When a patient is in a low output state, lactic acidosis, or anaerobic metabolism, increases. The increase in acid content will cause a...

  8. Question from a student - DOBUTAMINE

    Phishininau replied to Savin'Em's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Pretty much the right info is given here. Dobutamine has historically been considered a strong B1-selective agonist. Now however, that opinion has changed slightly. (Goodman and Gilman's The...

  9. Blood Patch

    Phishininau replied to crazylilkelly's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I have done 8-10 of them over the past year, and honestly it is a pretty cool concept. 90% get relief almost immediately, and 90% of the remaining 10% get relief with the second attempt. Its really...

  10. First intubation today...

    Phishininau posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  13. Career change: Lawyer to CRNA.

    Phishininau replied to Riptide McGee's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    It would be the same path as anyone else. Nursing degree (BSN or ADN with an appropriate bachelor's degree) then some ICU experience, GRE within five years, and good grades. That will equal an...

  14. Question about CRNA program admissions criteria.

    Phishininau replied to RUcon08's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    1. Grades do matter, but there is a school somewhere that will take almost anyone with reasonable grades. You just have to find that school. At my program, the C would be "frowned upon," but that...

  15. UAB Jackon, MS??

    Phishininau replied to radrn2001's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    100% front loaded means that your are completely finished with the coursework (didactic) before you matriculate into the clinical setting. Any percentrage front loaded is the percentage of the...

  16. Ventilators

    Phishininau replied to suarc's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    My interview didnt require a single clinical question. However, I think as an ICU nurse you would need to know the difference between SIMV, AC, and CMV. That would be a good start to read up on. We...

  17. UAB Jackon, MS??

    Phishininau replied to radrn2001's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    UAB is 70% front loaded. You would have to be in Bham from August until end of May. Rotations start in late may/early june. From there, the classes are all through web-based distance learning. I...

    Phishininau replied to Tyler1111's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I am in CRNA school now...so brand be "babe in the woods", whatever, but for some reason I feel compelled to give you my opinions. 1. CRNAs arent going anywhere. Thanks to the hard work that has...

  19. Queasy during surgery??? :/

    Phishininau replied to babynurse06's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I used to say the same thing. Weak stomach was the reason I cited for not following through on going to medical school after my first bachelors degree. However, after seeing a few surgeries and...

  20. need help with intraop steriod coverage

    Phishininau replied to sawingzzzz's's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Hydocortisone is what we were taught to use to for supplementation preferentially over methyprednisone. Methylprednisone dosage should be 125mg IV, but up to 500mg with kidney transplants....

  21. UAB-Fall 2007

    Phishininau replied to opeesan's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Gator is right...some of the other sites havent completed their interviews. Last year, we didnt get any info from UAB until around May, I think. I know it was late. When you get the information...

  22. School and Path help!

    Phishininau replied to DarkSide440's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Thats pretty much the paty that you should follow. Most programs now require a BSN and some experience. That is the way that I went and it is working out for me well, thus far. You need to get the...
