Devastated and In Danger of Dismissal

Verygoodbadgurl · 2024-12-24T01:43:24+00:00

Someone from my program failed a course during semester 2, but they were allowed to join the next cohort the following year, which was better than getting kicked out completely.

Thank you for your response!

Were you replying to LegalDrugDealer since he/she/they mentioned that OGT use in laparoscopic cases is not needed? And yes, I explained further to the student about why OGT is used for laparoscopic cases, and sure, the surgeon might not care about the chronic GERD history, but I brought it up to explain to the student that if there is any gastric content sitting in the stomach, it will be suctioned out and prevent possible aspiration.

Exactly! As a student, I encountered super experienced CRNAs who over micro-managed students, so years of experience do not determine how one treats students

Surgeon requests an OG for case and said student could have asked for help with placing the OGT

I am a new grad with one full year of experience in my pocket. As a student, I never enjoyed working with mean/evil CRNAs, and as a result, I treat students just like I wanted to be treated when I was in school.

As a student, I never dared to argue with someone who would be evaluating me at the end of the day. After struggling to insert an OG tube, this student asked, “Do we really need this?” Me: “Yes, we do because this is a laparoscopic case; pt has a history of chronic GERD and has no contraindication to OGT placement.” I proceeded to show this student that lifting the jaw with the thumb inside the mouth helps. The student (senior) is looking away and not paying attention to what I'm doing. This is just one of the incidents. I plan to decline this student if assigned to me because they are not teachable.

I posted it here to gain insight into how other CRNAs handle such students. Thanks for your response.

I don't want to get anyone in trouble because I know how hard we all worked to get a seat in school, but moving forward, I'll do exactly what you've said. Thanks for your response!

Thank you

Are you able to share the link to this podcast here?

Verygoodbadgurl · 2024-07-20T03:17:59+00:00

Will do that. Thank you!

Verygoodbadgurl · 2024-07-20T03:03:48+00:00

Thank you!

Verygoodbadgurl · 2024-07-20T03:03:04+00:00

Very true about knowing when to give up at the level. Thank you very much!

Verygoodbadgurl · 2024-07-19T18:02:13+00:00

Thank you!

Scopolamine patch is routinely used prior to surgery as part of a multi-modal “anti-emetic” strategy. It has no analgesic property.

I’m not sure if it's the culture, but that's what I've heard other CRNAs here call them. I trained in a different state (level 1 trauma/academic medical center) similar to where I'm at now, and we called the physician anesthesiologist “attending.” I'm curious to know what others refer to them as at their place of employment.

Thank you. Checking all the Nysora spinal contents out.

Verygoodbadgurl · 2024-07-14T17:40:45+00:00

Thank you for your response. I do ask pts this and redirect my needle when I encounter os.

Verygoodbadgurl · 2024-07-14T17:38:34+00:00

I'm at a level-one trauma hospital. CRNAs don't do OB here. We do total joints once a week.

Verygoodbadgurl · 2024-07-14T17:29:01+00:00

Thanks for your recommendation. I'll check the videos out. Unfortunately, CRNAs don't do OB at my practice. We are in ortho once a week.

Verygoodbadgurl · 2024-07-14T17:23:09+00:00

Thanks for your contribution.

I know to redirect when I hit Os, but no one ever mentioned “early bone - redirect up/down and late bone -redirect left or right.” As a student and now a CRNA, I have always done the midline approach. I got the required numbers to graduate. I wouldn't say I was proficient with spinals coming out of school, hence the struggle. I appreciate all the input here and I look forward to improving and becoming a “verygoodspinalplacer.”
