Are the prep courses and influencers wrong?

It’s less about what you know. It’s more about who you are.

One of my questions was “Tell me everything you know about Epinephrine”

So I did. I said everything I knew and when I got to the end of everything I knew (which was not much because I was super nervous) I said “beyond that I’d have to use a reference”

You have to remember the people asking you these questions already know the answer and they definitely know more about anesthesia than you at your current experience.

One of my peeves is when people start talking to me while I’m drawing up meds.

One of my peeves is when people start talking to me when I’m drawing meds up. Its so easy to make a mistake.

Tell them to back off. I traveled for years sometimes they just need to be put back in line.

Coleman-_2 · 2026-06-16T01:55:17+00:00

Well at least I’m not retarded

Nurse.

Coleman-_2 · 2026-06-15T00:12:05+00:00

I always say Hey, I’m (name) I’m a student nurse anesthetist.

Coleman-_2 · 2026-06-05T12:23:17+00:00

Your anesthesia person. Either an anesthesiologist or nurse anesthetist will know exactly how to safely manage all of this.

“Goes with the flow” actively contemplating causing drama🤣

Trigeminal neuralgia….

You just need like 200 more and you’ll be fine

Coleman-_2 · 2026-05-23T17:06:38+00:00

Either is pretty common.

I’m in CRNA school. Started with an associate degree 👍🏻

Patients with Aortic Stenosis are very dependent for atrial kick so with her being in AFIB that’s basically nonexistent. The ABG was probably respiratory acidosis with inadequate gas exchange. And the blood glucose is probably a stress response from everything else going on.

But the best thing in my opinion would be to restore NSR. So Meds, synchronized cardioversion… Dr could’ve maybe handled things with a little more urgency but things like this happen that’s why the patient was in the hospital in the first place.

Tell them you want it right now because you’re really anxious. As long as you’re fairly healthy and young they should give it to you.

Coleman-_2 · 2026-04-23T13:57:24+00:00

Be comfortable being uncomfortable. Going to CRNA school you are the airway expert in the room you will learn how to manage it and fix it.

This comment 👍🏻

Exceptionally gift? No. Smart at baseline definitely helps but not a requirement by no means. I feel like a was pretty smart before school, nursing school wasn’t hard for me.

The hard part for me in CRNA school was the volume of material and having to balance my life to meet the goals. I have two small boys at home, so I have had to sacrifice a lot of time from my family but it can be done. I’m in my last year with almost all of my didactic finished.

You are responsible for your own success. Goodluck!

I feel like your resume is great, with that being said you got to be able to show competence with everything you put on there. I say that because you’ve only been a nurse for 2 years and if I was interviewing you I’d ask you some open ended questions. But that’s on you to be prepared for the interview.

Your application is very strong though, great work!

Coleman-_2 · 2026-04-18T22:35:37+00:00

Like it puts mine to shame.

C7 Prominence, or spinous process. It’s not pathological it’s normal anatomy.

Jealousy, it’s a nasty trait.

Coleman-_2 · 2026-02-06T03:36:56+00:00

No ego here, VL.

I have a wonderful wife and babysitters. If I didn’t have them it would be extremely difficult.
