    William_SRNA replied to rn91's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    CRNA school is not a cookbook approach it's putting together concepts to formulate an answer from a MASSIVE amount of theory thrown at you. The GRE is pretty simple math and some infrequently used...

    William_SRNA replied to flowerpower's topic in General Nursing

    Money is a pwerful motivator and I personally don't think it indicates a level of care. However, if you do not like your job no amount of money is going to make you happy and bedisde nursing is a...

  16. Is Indiana RN allowed to give Ketamine for procedural sedation ??

    William_SRNA replied to samaritan's topic in Emergency

    Paramedics are taught advanced airway management as a standard and perform alot more intubations than an RN. I wouldn't have a problem with a paramedic perfroming

  17. Is Indiana RN allowed to give Ketamine for procedural sedation ??

    William_SRNA replied to samaritan's topic in Emergency

    William_SRNA replied to RNKitty's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    William_SRNA replied to ivypetals's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA
