2. CRNA, Anesthesiologist Relationships

   DO_question replied to cristianomiguel's topic in CRNA

   CRNAs and AAs are actually far closer in education than a CRNA and MD/DO so really, nurse anesthetist is perfectly adequate and accurate description. You realize AAs were created in an era of concern specifically about CRNA educational quality right...

   I mean AAs were created to address the perceived lack of training for CRNAs of the day. Your friend is equal regardless of her nursing experience.

   "The level of professional ignorance above is laughable." I attacked your lack of knowledge perceived from my perspective and knowledge base, not you as a person. If you don't like criticism of your views then don't make those statements.

   DO_question replied to cristianomiguel's topic in CRNA

   Lol you guys know DO=MD legally in the US right? The titles in every single sense, equal and the sole difference is an additional course DO students take on manual medicine right? You realize there's no specialty that DOs don't practice in right? ...

   DO_question replied to cristianomiguel's topic in CRNA

   I'm not finding anything on the subject, care to link it? Added: I have however, found a paper espousing almost exactly what I've been told by every attending anesthesiologist I've discussed this with.

10. CRNA, Anesthesiologist Relationships

    DO_question replied to cristianomiguel's topic in CRNA

    If CRNAs were referred to as "anesthesia nurses," all of this would be cleared up. Physicians have changed names mostly to differentiate themselves from nurses... which seem to keep wanting to blur the difference.

11. CRNA, Anesthesiologist Relationships

    DO_question replied to cristianomiguel's topic in CRNA

    So your solution to a patient not being sure what an anesthetist is to appropriate a physician's title? I will say, the most important part of transparency there is that you identify that you work in anesthesia and that you're their nurse, so (legit...

13. CRNA, Anesthesiologist Relationships

    DO_question replied to cristianomiguel's topic in CRNA

    To both the above, Exactly. The term "anesthesiologist," was termed due to the confusion (everyone went by anesthetist prior) and now you can see CRNAs pushing to use Anesthesiologist. I'll take your word on the copy right issue. Please walk in any...

14. CRNA, Anesthesiologist Relationships

    DO_question replied to cristianomiguel's topic in CRNA

    There is no such thing as a "nurse anesthesiologist." Anesthetist is used generically everywhere else, but in the US the term "anesthesiologist," was created specifically to distinguish medical practitioners from nursing practitioners.
