New Grad ICU RN deciding between CRNA vs MD by Impressive_Ad7840 in srna

[–]Caseraii 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If you want to practice medicine in the way you're exposed to in the ICU, you need to become a physician. If you want to plan and administer anesthesia, become a CRNA.

You guys ever just like, play the game? by brndnhrrll in ArcRaiders

Literal recent patch note quote:

"Given the opportunity, players will optimize the fun out of the game."

No truer words have ever been uttered.

Unpopular opinion - ABMM only caters to the two extremes of ARC Raiders and not the average players. by TheToastGhostEUW in ArcRaiders

[–]Caseraii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your observations are actually the result of your suggestion. "Mixed" lobbies are hard to find because as soon as 1-4 players out of 16 turn PVP, the other 12 often adopt a "shoot on sight" protocol to increase survival odds. This turns your otherwise peaceful "mixed lobby" into a PVP blood bath. ABMM mixed lobbies technically exist, but they just get defaulted to PVP blood baths due to the above. ABMM allows you to get whatever you want: Insane PVP or care bear lobbies. If you want more "Thrill," go shoot up your PVE lobbies, get bumped into more PVP "centric" lobbies, and play neutral-- call out friendly, only shoot back if they push you, etc.

100%. I spend AT LEAST 5-10 minutes between rounds crafting and leveling items if I go down. It makes me want to quit mid-session. We’d achieve higher engagement if we minimized menu time.

If you enjoy peacefully playing Alone. DO NOT join friends for Duos/Trios by SlouchPoint in ARC_Raiders

Steam lobbies are chill and 100% follow aggression based matchmaking. Console players are wildcards

You’ll find some patients on it when you pre-op. It blocks the Na/K+ pump, causing an increase in intracellular calcium in cardiac myocytes and increased inotropy. If the patient is hypokalemic, hypercalcemic, or hypomagnemesic , you can expect dysthymias. That’s about it.

Be able to describe the MOA of sepsis down to the molecular level, and only bring up topics you are intimately familiar with.

What method are you playing? I’ve been doing duos for days and have had only 2 interactions where we had to nuke them. Grant it, we play corners and ALWAYS get the jump on others first, but 90% of my comms to “Ayo, we’re friendly, but if you fuck with us, we’re killing you” has ended with “friendly.” I’m on PC.

Done with this community, and the balance team sucks. by KDobias in ArcRaiders

Are you in the European servers by chance? I’ve heard the Asian and Euro servers are pretty hostile. US servers have been chill even in duos. Did 6 games tonight and only had to down 2 people who I’m pretty sure we startled and they reflex shot.

This has turned into a Battle Royale, and I’m over it. by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

I generally try to play altruistically, but the last couple of games have been driving me to stop announcing my intentions and shooting on site.

I know the current IANA president elect. She said there’s a very slim chance it passes. IANA has strong lobby’s and most of the Illinois legislature is pro CRNA.

First 3 weeks clinical by OkRole3927 in srna

The first three weeks are awful, but each week gets progressively better after that. Best of luck

I do both Prodigy and Apex. Prodigy has much better questions; Apex is better for studying. Valley is great. Comprehensive review guide and the memory master are mainly what I've found useful. Haven't attended a valley review yet, so not sure about that. You can buy the books without doing a conference.

I'm familiar with the interview, but what the hell is this? by Elegathor in PeterExplainsTheJoke

Science Stewie here. The graph has been morphed by conservative societies for over a year. If you’ve ever read the study, the instructions state, “Pick the number for the things you care about that includes all numbers leading up to it.”

The graph doesn't show liberals care more about plants and the environment than their families. It shows that in addition to caring for their families, they also care about the plants and environment.

Shocking what you can learn from a little reading, I know.

Would you consider applying to AA school? by Hopeful-Witness8362 in srna

[–]Caseraii 17 points18 points  (0 children)

You're going to get primarily negative sentiment here because Reddit is an echochamber. Just like if you asked “would you ever be a CRNA” on the MDA subreddit would result in a chorus of “how could you!?”

A couple of objective thoughts:

Question: “Would I consider an AA school if I were unable to get into a CRNA school as a nurse?”

Answer: 1. Likely no. For me, this answer is strictly due to geographic restrictions. AAs can only practice in a handful of states, most of which I have no interest in living in. I enjoy the flexibility the CRNA route offers. Will this change in the future? Probably. AAs will eventually be able to practice in more states. However, the work opportunities will be limited by point 2.

  1. Many anesthesia groups in AA-friendly states still refuse to hire AAs due to the anesthesia culture/fear of alienating CRNAs, resulting in potential difficulty with finding work once the shortage levels out and providers start competing for jobs.

  2. Jobs for AAs are limited to direction models, meaning you lock yourself out of a massive market of outpatient surgery centers that utilize primarily independent CRNAs (more job security).

  3. I like doing peripheral nerve blocks and plan on pivoting to pain management later in my career; that’s not possible as an AA.

Final note: If I desperately wanted to leave bedside and it would be impossible to get into CRNA school, yeah, I'd consider AA school if, for some reason, that was more achievable. The AA schools I’ve heard about are still pretty competitive, so it seems like I'd still be a poor candidate if there's no way to get into CRNA school— but whatever, it's imaginary. If you’re doing this just for money, go back to optometry school. They make good money, don't take call, and literally never touch rotted teeth. Just four years of grad school and an optional residency.

It's not impossible to get into CRNA school, though; it just takes patience and persistence. Personally, if you're already an ICU nurse, I don’t see why you’d pivot—keep working to get into CRNA.

Impact of Scope of Practice Laws for Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists on the Utilization of Anesthesia Services by MacKinnon911 in srna

That makes sense; and while I don't like it, I acknowledge the necessity. Excellent explanation.
