1. Second Bachelors degree???

   oncall24/7 replied to neva2late's topic in SRNA

   Don't give up; I got my BSRN, went to crna school and my "terminal" degree" was in aero engineering"..not the usual track for a nurse...then med school after working for a while.......don't let anyone label you are a nurse, pre-crna, doctor or anyth...

2. ADIOS ANESTHESIA

   oncall24/7 replied to Spode's topic in CRNA

   I forgot one thing in my previous reply: have you considered a NP program? A good NP can really help people and it's a good job. PS: my primary care provider is a NP and she's the best...I have my choice of many physicians and I choose a NP. Best ...

3. My 1st colonoscopy - draping & pain questions

   oncall24/7 replied to carolla's topic in Gastroenterology

   As a physician who has been involved in many colonoscopy exams (my own included-I probably have colon cancer)...I doubt that anyone on these boards gives 2 ***** about my opinion, but here it is: please get a colonoscopy..it's not that bad.....I'm an...

4. ADIOS ANESTHESIA

   oncall24/7 replied to Spode's topic in CRNA

   adios to you and please go with God.......I wish you the best, but working as a nurse in anesthesia is not for everyone.

5. CRNA or PharmD???

   oncall24/7 replied to mambutz7hart's topic in SRNA

   Once again, CRNA are totally interested in "solo practice" and economic issues........I see a total abscence of concern for patient safety........I would not let an unsupervised CRNA "practice" on my patient. and that's from a former CRNA.........you...

6. Curious about sedation

   oncall24/7 replied to AnewerRN's topic in General Nursing

   What an absolutely awful experience. Patients deserve an anesthesia provider and proper drugs (ie: propofol) for these procedures. I have many years of experience doing endo sedation and have NEVER had a patient "moaning or struggling" durinf an endo...

7. Curious about sedation

   oncall24/7 replied to AnewerRN's topic in General Nursing

   totally correct about reversal of these agents. Personally I believe that patients are much better off having an anesthesia provider administer their sedation (especially for endo); better drugs and no artificial limits on doseage......i just finish...

8. CRNA or PharmD???

   oncall24/7 replied to mambutz7hart's topic in SRNA

   no education is BS....................crna usually undergo 2 years of additional nursing-school "anesthesia" training and are possibly qualified (with supervision) to administer anesthesia...............I was/am a crna who went to med school and beca...

9. Anesthesiologists being replaced by CRNAs???

   oncall24/7 replied to MONEJA783's topic in CRNA

   once again, patient safety is thrown to the wind by nurses who want to act as solo anesthesia providers.......sort of makes one ashamed of ever being a nurse..................stop looking at your own economic interests and focus on patient safety

10. Anesthesiologists being replaced by CRNAs???

    oncall24/7 replied to MONEJA783's topic in CRNA

    patients DESERVE an anestesiologist, not a nurse managing their anesthesia. I was a CRNA before going to med school..............give it a rest......it's not about money, it's about patient safety....................solo CRNA practice isn't safe, we...

11. Anesthesiologists being replaced by CRNAs???

    oncall24/7 replied to MONEJA783's topic in CRNA

    Your have a lack of respect for anesthesiologists; I'm glad that your posts speak for themselves. "Blowing smoke"? I doubt it; I have seen both side quite clearly and I do not attack anesthesia nurses....FYI, almost every nursing field overlaps my ...

12. Anesthesiologists being replaced by CRNAs???

    oncall24/7 replied to MONEJA783's topic in CRNA

    Everyone is entitled to an opinion, but I see a lot CRNA bashing anesthesiologists just as much or more than I see anesthesiologists bashing CRNA. Been in both sets of shoes. My issue is with unsupervised CRNA practice; I don't think that it's saf...

13. Anesthesiologists being replaced by CRNAs???

    oncall24/7 replied to MONEJA783's topic in CRNA

    Out of curiosity, what are you basing your opinoins of crna's on? I worked as a CRNA before attending med school.

14. Can a patient refuse sedation?

    oncall24/7 replied to Web-G.I.nurse's topic in Gastroenterology

    You probably had a doc who took his/her time to do the colonoscopy properly and you must have an easy colon to navigate. Colonoscopies are done in most of the world (not the US) without sedation. Here in the US, sedation is the standard of care. B...

15. Anesthesiologists being replaced by CRNAs???

    oncall24/7 replied to MONEJA783's topic in CRNA

    With all due respect, if a patient wants an unsupervised nurse (solo CRNA) performing his/her anesthesia, that's their choice; I just want to make sure that the patient understands who their anesthesia provider actually is. You are entitled to your ...
