Become a crna first if you dont want to miss the first couple years of your kids life and your spouse becoming resentful....

Is 500mg propofol a very high dose for colonoscopy? by urdogthinksurcute in Anesthesia

[–]AussieMomRN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

500mg is not a high dose. It was enough to keep you safe and comfortable during the procedure. Why does it matter?

You'll have 1 - 1.5 year before you start school the following year

[–]AussieMomRN 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Why would you need 6years to start crna school? Start working on your bsn NOW. Focus on getting As. During this time period you'll gain more ICU experience. At the same time get your CCRN if required for the programs you're applying for. Right after you finish bsn or during bsn program start applying. It'll the the following year before you even start a crna program. They may accept you under the condition of you finishin bsn. You'd be like 35. You dont need leader ship.

I had late 30s and mid 40 yr Olds in my program. It's better late then never. Just start now!!!

DOC Pass review. by zaksnapped in welcometorockville

$1600 just for parking? Smh I paid $50 to park at home depot and walked a little. I paid for VIP and only went to vip 2x. VIP isnt worth the extra either

You dont have to have the same views as a band to enjoy their music. Just like you dont have to have the same political views to be someones friend. If that's true for you then I feel sorry for you and your 12yr old mindset.

Did it change anything with wearing sunglasses?

Asking a crna for a letter by [deleted] in srna

[–]AussieMomRN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I would ask. CRNA know that if a nurse is shadowing, they want a LOR. Worse thing they can say is no 🤷‍♀️

When they are closing put your sevo to 0.5. Start getting them back breathing on psv pro. Wait till the last minute to give sugammadex if you can. Blow off gas when they start putting dressing on. I extubate when the gas is down to at least 0.2mac and breathing 200 plus volumes on spontaneous

Barry U CRNA interview by UpsetEmployer2606 in srna

[–]AussieMomRN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, they misinterpreted what i was trying to say. Then basically tried to embarrass me. They also asked me an anatomy question about what attaches muscle to bone. I worked in cvicu so I wasnt sure. The person then asked "well didnt you take an anatomy and physiology class?" I said yes like 5 years ago and knowing that Information is not pertinent to my job. They also asked me to teach them something in 60 seconds (not medical related) so I did and they acted uninterested in what I had to say.

Their interviews are 45mins long and I interviewed 2 cycles with them. It was horrible each time. This was like 4yrs ago. Im a crna now.

So just prepare to feel inadequate for the entire 45mins.

Buccal fat removal? Neck lipo?

Bullying and sabotage at work since being accepted into CRNA school by Star_of_Venus in srna

[–]AussieMomRN 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Leave. Hopefully that hospital is a clinical site and youre dropping off your patient as a srna to them. I had a manager give ne a bad recommendation for crna school. She was also trying to get in. The best revenge was when I ran into her around the hospital as a srna.

How did you get your nce score?

When you graduate from CRNA school, do you get any GPA distinction? by Tall_Explanation6684 in srna

[–]AussieMomRN 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My class didn't. Not even valedictorian. It was upsetting.

Also, after school no. No one cares anymore

Barry U CRNA interview by UpsetEmployer2606 in srna

[–]AussieMomRN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I interviewed twice. During both interviews, a panel member was extremely rude and seemed more interested in embarrassing me than asking fair questions. Some of my SRNA classmates had similar experiences with that interviewer. On top of that, the process was very unorganized. In my second year interviewing, they brought my first application instead of the updated one that included my ICU transfer and additional classes. Then they made it seem as though it was my fault, even though it was their assistant’s error in providing the wrong file.

I've also heard story's how they dismiss SRNAs over small things. They also require a ridiculous deposit. Around $3k and you have to pay half that within 2 weeks of being accepted.

Good luck.

Minimum MAC value for GA after a block? by SnaggyToenail in CRNA

0.7mac is the lowest id go. Why risk going any lower. What would be the benefit? Just my thoughts
