He sounfs like s narcissist to me, in addition to any shady stuff going on. If that's the case, he has set up this situation so that you can't win and he will continually have evidence that he is superior.
Well, you'll soon find that the majority of your patients are not young, healthy & ideal body weight. And that worst-case scenarios drive your practice.
Her best bet if she wants a trial of labor & attempted VBAC is to labor at home as long as possible & forgo the epidural. At the hospital she will be managed the way the hospital is comfortable, not necessarily her preference. And there are...

They don't really look down on it in my program. But I guess I'd say they look a little harder at people's motivations to become a CRNA. If you're doing it mainly for the money, you might hate working in the ICU and you are not likely to be motivat...
I can't speak for all programs, only mine. There are a significant percentage of people in my class who have accelerated BSN's. Comments I have heard--on one hand, if you can handle an accelerated BSN and get a good GPA, you show them you can perfo...
