    DAREINGTX replied to Rocknurse's topic in General Nursing

  3. Md's Against Crna's?

    DAREINGTX replied to LLL123's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    This is crap. You either don't know many MD's, or you're a jerk around them and they respond in kind. To any MD that wants to eliminate CRNA autonomy, do you want to go to a rural area and make 125k...

  4. how to get rid of a sore throat...

    DAREINGTX replied to Purple Princess's topic in General Nursing

    My great-grandmother did this to me when I was a kid. I thought she just wanted me to quit whining (which I did), but the next day...all better. I guess sore throats were around before

  5. What would you think...

    DAREINGTX replied to lpnstudentin2010's topic in General Nursing

    I was a phlebotomist for ten years. I saw more tatooed tough guys freak out about having blood drawn. I've seen people pass out, have anxiety attacks, have to have 4 or 5 people hold them, and...

  6. My mom does not want me to become a nurse

    DAREINGTX replied to lpnstudentin2010's topic in General Nursing

    Appease your mom and tell her you'll keep you're options open. Then when its time to decide which college to go to, and what to major in, you'll be an adult and it won't really

  7. They didn't teach me this in nursing school and I could have killed someone!

    DAREINGTX replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

    I heard of a nurse in AZ that had a pt that was npo. Doc ordered MOM and the nurse put it through the central line. I don't know if this is true or just an urban legend type story, but i've met some...

  8. My "crazy" plan - ANY thoughts are appreciated!!

    DAREINGTX replied to Someday-C.R.N.A.'s topic in General Nursing

    I kept trying to plan years ahead and it never seemed to work out. I finally just started going, taking it one semester at a time and now I'm well on my way.(LVN grad 08/05) I have all of my RN...

  9. IV starts and drawing blood

    DAREINGTX replied to srknurse's topic in Emergency

    There have been numerous articles written and published in nursing and laboratory journals on the reasons blood shouldn't be drawn when starting IV's. Hemolysis is likely even when using larger...

  10. Average CNA salary?

    DAREINGTX replied to pdpeanut's topic in General Nursing

    In Texas, minimum wage-9.00 is what i've seen. Not worth it IMHO. I was a phlebotomist for several years while in nursing school and made 10-12. I was able to see a wider variety of areas in the...

    DAREINGTX replied to tulips's topic in General Nursing

  12. MedError/Dismissal...What2Do

    DAREINGTX replied to brotherbear's topic in General Nursing

    I gave my opinion, which is what the OP asked for. Did you notice that he isn't asking for help with the actual problem, the error's, he's asking for advice on how to get out of it. If the post was...

  13. what should i do while waiting?

    DAREINGTX replied to SCCgraduateRN's topic in General Nursing

    Go to your local travel agent and buy a non-refundable round trip cruise around the world. If you do that you will get in. That's how things work for me anyway. good

  14. what should i do while waiting?

    DAREINGTX replied to SCCgraduateRN's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Go buy yourself a non-refundable 6 month around the world cruise that leaves the first day of class. If you do this you are guaranteed acceptance.....Thats what would happen to me anyway. Best of...

  15. Stool Sampling

    DAREINGTX replied to surreal's topic in General Nursing

    Stool........sterile??? Not two words that should be

  16. Do you have any anesthesia helpers?

    DAREINGTX replied to Laughing Gas's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I'm not an SRNA, but i have worked in lab while in nursing school. I STAT machines are not very accurate, but in our facility they are always very close when controls are done. The problem is usually...

  17. MedError/Dismissal...What2Do

    DAREINGTX replied to brotherbear's topic in General Nursing

    If you feel overwhelmed with three pt's what are you planning to do when you graduate?? I haven't heard of a nurse having three pt's on any day, much less a busy one. I know I probably sound harsh,...

  18. MedError/Dismissal...What2Do

    DAREINGTX replied to brotherbear's topic in General Nursing

    I have a couple of questions being a nursing student myself. 1. How many patients are they giving you that you could forget to assess a post op spinal dressing?? 2. What have you're instructors...

  19. Sedation by non-anesthesia personel

    DAREINGTX replied to NeuroNP's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I was in the GI Lab as a student and the MD was pushing the propofol without taking his eye off the scope for more than a second or two. The pt would move a little and he'd just give a bolus and right...

  20. hippa

    DAREINGTX replied to blitzen's topic in General Nursing

    Was the autopsy done in-house?? In some states autopsy reports or info r/t cause of death is public record on the death cert. If that's the case I don't think hippa would be an issue, but how about...

    DAREINGTX replied to closatssl1's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Most of the lvn's that i know that started the ec program are still lvn's, and will be until they go through a conventional program. I've heard there are alot of hassles and that it is extremely...

  22. How will this affect my future?

    DAREINGTX replied to freetobe83's topic in General Nursing

    You weren't completely clear what happened. I assume you were drinking and got a dwi/dui?? It's not a good thing , but its not the end of you're career. In Texas you would have to submit a declaration...

    DAREINGTX replied to CardioTrans's topic in General Nursing

  25. Clinical Doctorate in Anesthsia

    DAREINGTX replied to Lambert5883's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Im sure being a moniter tech you don't "let" nurses do much. You're in over your head. Let some of the nurses you work beside read some of you're posts. I'm willing to bet they'll straighten you
