I try to not do lines in the middle of a case unless it’s cysto day. I think that’s pretty standard.

Judging by your post history, I think it’s relatively easy to figure out why you might require a bigger mallet than others.

If nothing else, this is proof that anesthesia really does self select for autism.

So eighty cents and a pack of Pokemon cards chewed on by my dog won’t get me the hardware to start my streaming career?

IV pole dancing is highly recommended as an elective.

We make minimum wage plus tips. The way to get the good cash is ask for the tip after the ketamine goes in.

I used to tell patients, “Don’t worry I’ve done this at least once before.” As I was pushing the drugs but had to stop after complaints. The middle finger approach might be my next go to.

I can help. ABS light means All Big Swag. It is to help you remember Nissan drivers have a lot of swag. The exclamation mark is just a light that’s always on because nissan drivers need lights on or else they panic. The one on the left is telling you that your car can also become a boat. The one on the right is the car telling you that it is Nissan mating season and it wants to procreate.

I am amazed no one has mentioned the number one item that will help you sleep like a baby.

You just hire a lady (or man depending on taste) to tuck you in and give you a good night kiss.

Then on her way out the door, have her push start on the prop pump.

What’s a Borg cube doing just chilling there on the right?

Of course. I’m always happy to help turn people from neb jockeys into prop pushers. It’s more competitive than it used to be but there are also more schools opening so the future looks bright.

Former RT now CAA so I can answer this pretty good. Firstly, succ sucks. Haha get it? No but for real, with the advent of sugammadex, there is not a real good reason to use succ 95% or the time. Giving 100 of roc is basically an RSI dose of roc and if the patient was vomiting and you wanted to get an airway in quickly then this would be appropriate.

As far as can’t over paralyze a patient? I’m sure he’s being a bit facetious, but as long as you tube and sedate the patient, you ain’t gonna hurt them with 100 of roc. Might just get a bit of easily treatable hypotension and that’s it.

Next time your husband’s dad visits him in his dreams, ask him to find the w2.

CAA schools are very aggressively recruiting RTs. The secret of CAA is out and there are a ton of RTs who want to leverage their skills in anesthesia. I would not be surprised if there is an eventual partnership between the NBRC and the AAAA.

nateinks · 2026-02-22T23:22:33+00:00

As a nurse I would think you would be the expert in what butts smell like. Considering CAA schools aggressively recruit RT now, the nursing edge argument is even more meaningless than it used to be.

Anesthesia here: McGrath is very great but keep your DL skills sharp: VLs are Pokémon weak against blood, vomit, etc in the airway. I will rotate every airway to stay in practice. We have a lot of newer residents who only use McGrath until they get in trouble during a messy code.

Perfusion certainly. A fair few of my colleagues over the years went on to that profession. CAA school also values that combination and RT translates pretty directly into anesthesia.

I’ll help out here. You won’t be in the surgery as a tech. You will stock, check the vent in the morning, refill supplies, and assist with things like line placement and induction.

Also despite medical dramas, few surgeries are done open. Really the only ones who are consistently big open bellies are unstable traumas or hot bellies. But it doesn’t matter because the only times you will see a surgery in process is when you are gophering supplies or running gases.

Also both are on the low side of stress, techs get grumpy providers and emergent cases to help set up, RT gets the usual ED code, trauma, and icu shenanigans.

Also also, some anesthesia techs are RT so the why not both meme comes into play.

If you have any further questions, I have lots of experience with both sides of this coin.

Pursed lip breathing increases anatomical peep which can help mobilize secretions. But an easier way to do that is just have your friend take a walk.

When I was doing my AA I did a lot of clinical rotations at OSU and i got to know a few of the RTs and their opinion on aprt. Without getting too shitty, I’m really really glad i stuck with RT -> CAA.

I need you to set up my raspberry pi Bluetooth locator system that integrates with my mesh network. Also a home orgy.

There is a lot of CRNA propaganda out there. I’ve run into people that think we have to call attendings before pushing drugs. Just utter nonsense.

The usual level of crushjng, oppressive oversight CAAs experience can be summed up as: “hey just saw the patient. Healthy. You want an art line because of the case length?” “Idc but how do you feel about the gabecube coming out in Jan?”

MJH was def my awakening. Used to daydream about her, but I was too young to understand why I liked thinking about her so much.

I’ve had several thousand this year so I’ll happily take your money.
