1. Induced hypotension in surgeries.

   Little Fish replied to GmanRN's topic in CRNA

   Yes in the past hypotension was utilized but much less these days. It was called permissive hypotension or induced hypotension and was usually used in spine cases. It is mostly a thing of the past now. I can't think of any vascular cases that requ...

2. PANA vs Pennsylvania Society of Anesthesiologist

   Little Fish replied to CRNANUPE_2B's topic in CRNA

   You mean "here" and not "hear". And yes I am a CRNA. I have been doing this gig for a long time now. It is possible however, that I am not altogether happy with the current direction and beliefs of our society and the newly graduated CRNA's.

3. DNP required soon?

   Little Fish replied to deadsoul's topic in Doctoral

   Of course. I'm just giving some pet peeves of mine. They may be mine only but they are mine. I usually see the OR staff cover up with the gowns that are the same color as the scrubs.

   Deepz, I for one do need more proof than your word. If PSA did edit, its still AZ's words, right? I'm not saying that the PSA didn't make the video more favorable for them but AZ did give them the ammo. I'm just hear to see that you don't go spo...

5. 'PA anesthetist'?

   Little Fish replied to HillaryC's topic in CRNA

   Well if you remember, you said that the crna's all left UNM after they hired aa's. You also said that the quality of care went down. Specifics: http://hsc.unm.edu/anesthesiology/crnas.shtml You will see that there are plenty of crna's on staff at UN...

6. DNP required soon?

   Little Fish replied to deadsoul's topic in Doctoral

   I will add that nurses wearing white lab coats is also misrepresnting.

7. CRNAs in Pain Management

   Little Fish replied to GmanRN's topic in CRNA

   Push propofol so doctors can do the procedures.

8. DNP required soon?

   Little Fish replied to deadsoul's topic in Doctoral

   No! Its stupid. And any nurse that would pass themselves off as doctor is a fraud. We can receive our doctorates but that is reserved for the academic setting. Not the clinical setting. It would be misrepresenting yourself.

9. DNP required soon?

   Little Fish replied to deadsoul's topic in Doctoral

   So the next logical question in my mind is, if any of you get your DNP will you call yourself doctor in the clinical setting?

10. DNP required soon?

    Little Fish replied to deadsoul's topic in Doctoral

    I thought they were behind this all the time. Do they support DNP at all? i'm sure they endorse it, right?

    Still, can you show me what was edited?:trout:(I always wanted to use this symbol)

12. 'PA anesthetist'?

    Little Fish replied to HillaryC's topic in CRNA

    This thread is hilarious. Anesthesiologist want to limit crna's. CRNA's want to claim equivalence to anesthesiologists and practice solo because there is a shortage of providers and the rural areas are left out if supervision is mandatory. Now ther...

14. PANA vs Pennsylvania Society of Anesthesiologist

    Little Fish replied to CRNANUPE_2B's topic in CRNA

    The ASA edited the video? Really? You have the proof, of course? Come on, how many of you think we don't ever need an anesthesiologist around? Sure 90% of the time this is the case but to claim equivalence is pushing it. He calls himself a Dr. b...

15. Can a CRNA become a............

    Little Fish replied to hocke5716's topic in CRNA

    My advice is, if you want to be a doctor , go to medical school. If you want to do anesthesia go to crna school. By the time you go to med sch and then residency you are no less than 8 years out. If you know you want to do anesthesia then go the c...
