California CRNA Programs

i know in san diego onlt one hospital system here uses crnas

The CMA works with some of the medical movie makers out in California. Why do you all think nurses are depicted so poorly in those medical shows?

...the future of nursing is not bright.

In Fresno, but in So. Cal. it's the VA, KP, or military. When I worked PACU there were no CRNA's. I worked in two hospitals in San Diego, and three in Riverside. If anyone mentioned CRNA's they were black listed by the MDA's. If a RN knew to much about anesthesia or PACU she/he was black listed by the MDA's. The California Medical Association (CMA) is working hard to get rid of all APN's. I know this because I know a member a the CMA, did not know I was a RN. The CMA works with some of the medical movie makers out in California. Why do you all think nurses are depicted so poorly in those medical shows?

The AMA is trying to limit types of providers (APN"s/PA's) who can provide care to patients. The ANA is fighting this, but the future of nursing is not bright. If nurses of all levels of education don't stick together, and put a stop to the distruction of our profession,well all that great education and $$$ spent getting it will be of no use to anyone.
