1. bad clinical experience today

   London88 replied to FlGasman's topic in CRNA

   Why should a circulator be alarmed because an SRNA gave fentanyl to a pt. That same SRNA was giving dilaudid and morphine to pts in the unit. What has changed because she is now giving a narcotic to a pt in the OR? I can understand the concern if the...

2. Relatively High CRNA Wages.

   London88 replied to Ekklesia's topic in CRNA

   Platon20 When did you come to the conclusion that CRNAs do not manage vents in the OR? When CRNAs start critical care drips on a pt in the OR this is not considered CC? When we give drugs to maintain a pt's hemodynamic status I guess this is not CC. ...

3. Reasons NOT to be CRNA

   London88 replied to Terpole's topic in SRNA

   Suzanne4; It is everybody's responsibility for positioning and not just anesthesia's responsibility. I do not position any pt without the surgeon in the room especially for positions other than supine. Granted I will make a final check to make sure t...

4. Deciding whether to drop out CRNA school?

   London88 replied to micugirl's topic in CRNA

   Micugirl; keep up the good work. You might have been over prepared for your case but I am sure you scored extra points. I much rather a student who is over prepared than one who is under prepared! Keep reviewing your cases the night before and make n...

5. Does time pass slow in the OR?

   London88 replied to Chip_04's topic in CRNA

   I do not read magazines in the OR period. Like gazzpasser said I do not want to miss anything. When I speak to my pts in holding I promise them my undivided attention and that is what they get. However, i am not trying to tell any other CRNA how to p...

6. Deciding whether to drop out CRNA school?

   London88 replied to micugirl's topic in CRNA

   micugirl; ACNP has given you excellent advise as well as good reference material. I also utilized Jaffe as a student and even as CRNA if i am going to do a case that i have never done before i still browse through Jaffe so that I know what to expect....

7. Deciding whether to drop out CRNA school?

   London88 replied to micugirl's topic in CRNA

   micugirl; I urge you to hang in there. I was in a similar situation at a clinical site when I was a student. I had no problem setting up for cases, but I was not treated fairly by the clinical director of anesthesia and I spoke to my director who con...

8. Ethical/Legal question

   London88 replied to Sis123's topic in CRNA

   StikTie and paindoc very well said. I simply could not be bothered to take the time to write what you guys explained to neveragain. The anesthetic plan can change rapidly depending on what is going on especially after incision. Here you have a person...

9. Ethical/Legal question

   London88 replied to Sis123's topic in CRNA

   neveragain, without knowing your situation if you want to be awake and alert for your surgery just ask for anesthesia not to be present. Now if you are saying that you did not want a general anesthetic and you agreed to local MAC then that is another...

10. Online BSN

    London88 replied to paratoCRNA2b's topic in SRNA

    Online BSN is good if you have an ADN and you are practicing as an RN. I did my BSN online and only had to do one clinical as I was already an RN in ICU, and I had to show my RN license before being accepted into the online program. The school is a r...

11. Propofol IV push by non-CRNAs in non-intubated patients--allowed in Oregon

    London88 replied to stevierae's topic in CRNA

    SWtooth key word in your post is the pt is intubated already. As for the hypotension ask yourself what causes the hypotension? I personally have no problem in a situation where the physician can intubate such as in an ER, but I have not come across ...

12. an interesting and somewhat ignorant article title

    London88 replied to zrmorgan's topic in CRNA

    It never ceases to amaze me when I walk in on a code or a resp distress situation and find the RN or the RT standing at the side of the bed with the AMBU and mask on the pt's face. This is what we are talking about when we say most non anesthesia pro...

13. Not trying to stir up bad ideas, but......

    London88 replied to Brian_SRNA's topic in CRNA

    sc17 Now that you have looked up an-es-the-si-ol-o-gy Why don't you look up nu-r-se an-es-the-sia.

14. Not trying to stir up bad ideas, but......

    London88 replied to Brian_SRNA's topic in CRNA

    In response to your last post paindoc, I am assuming these same legislators are trying to protect all patients from a rogue CRNA, or from a midwife from treating a pt typically seen by a NP, or from a NP from doing a procedure that is typically done ...

15. payment for SRNA's ?????

    London88 replied to alansmith52's topic in CRNA

    I was under the impression that an MD can only cover two rooms with SRNAs and can only bill 50% for each room. However if he or she is cover CRNAs then he or she can cover up to four rooms. Somebody correct me if I am wrong.
