Thank you so much for this video! I’m a new grad ICU nurse and I’m still trying to get a grasp on the routine and speed of the icu. However, I’m going to start keeping these things in mind as I get experience.
11:54 is it because of reflex Bradycardia? A Baroreceptor mediated response right? Cardiac output is decreased as a mechanism to prevent sudden increases in BP, such as it is with Neo. I hope I’m right 😄
@@BoltCRNA or also if you can make a video on how to choose an anesthesia school ❤❤❤ There are hundreds... So hard to choose, even picking top 5. Like, what to look for. Etc etc. Thank you!!
@@cardiyansane1414 HI 👋, here I am a year later a travel ICU nurse, been to a couple different hospitals. Draws will depend on the hospital. Some you have to draw everything. While other hospitals lab will come and draw all your pts sticks (they dont even have butterflys on the unit) and you draw pts with lines.
Thank you so much for the info. Highly appreciated. I was just wondering if you have some friends who was graduated their BSN outside the states and got into CRNA program. Would you please consider making one video for internationally graduated RNs currently working in USA and aspire to be a CRNA?
Great video! That was good advice to prepare for school. I'm not strong academically, but excell at skills and assessments. I'll be sure to keep all that in mind when at work, and going for my interview.
“Understanding why you’re titrating certain meds for certain results”... AMEN! Know why you’re doing what you’re doing because your patient deserves nothing less.. ok I’m off my soap box 😬
Yes, my preceptors in the ICU used to preach that you should always know why you're doing what you're doing. Bedside nursing isn't just mindless tasks but it's understanding the why and sometimes coming up with better options.
I’ve found that inserting the OG alongside the ETT & even holding a yankauer on the tongue to get the tongue out of the way works best for flat patients. You have more of a visual and it’s harder for the OG to curl up in the back of the throat. 🤷🏻♀️
Bolt CRNA yep it works. Also use a 16 French if you can. The bigger the better honestly but I’ve found 16 is a good number. Hope this helps!! Let me know how it works out!
Hey Bolt, I'm FT in ICU. Thought about getting my PICC placement cert to help getting more dexterous with my hands/ better procedurally, it would be a cool skill to hone in on too. (working PT in hospital will help with saving $ for school as well). Do you see any benefit from it?
@@BoltCRNA Is US IVs always available in your experience? I realized that I am really good at ultrasound but mediocre at blind sticks bcs my thought process was I want a good IV that draws back blood and that will last longer (bcs ICU) so I always leaned towards placing something deeper and ultrasound guided. Thank you for all these videos, didnt know what I wanted to do after bedside nursing, and didnt wanna default to CRNA just because of the money, and your videos has helped me a lot in my journey!
@@wedgepressure4313 your a beast i just got hired in the cvicu i start soon coming from the ed thinking of doing cath lab after and eventually crna but i got a weak gpa tryna ace through my bachelors only an associates nurse any tips for me? tips for cvicu, cath lab, us ivs, and gpa?
@@letsusbreakitdown3222 Hey there! I went straight into the cath lab as a new grad so that's pretty much all i know Haha but tips would be cardiogenic shock management, know your hemodynamic pressures really well, ACLS like the back of your hand Haha. Most of the other stuff you get on the job. It's the best spot in the hospital, seriously. I literally get catered food 3-4 times a week from reps coming in, no weekends or holidays, and the pay is amazing Haha! Low stress and my feet never hurt after work.
Peep assessment and ARDS to ask RT while being ICU RN
Grateful for my time working in the ER before I decided to do CRNA. It gave me great IV skills.

Good video idea.

I've never used the Yankauer that's an interesting idea.

Sure, using ultrasound and placing lines can only help.
Tell them
Homies to be positive Petes instead of negatives nancys with each other
What arw your thoughts on US guided IVs?
That is something I should have added to the IV advice. Use the ultrasound every chance you can as an RN.
@@BoltCRNA sweet! I currently work in the cath lab and they taught me US IVs, sheath insertions and suturing so it's been fun Haha!
