1. Anesthesiologists being replaced by CRNAs???

   backscatter replied to MONEJA783's topic in CRNA

   CRNA are nurses, nothing more, nothing less. Expecting a surgeon to safely supervise a CRNA is unsafe; ergo you have an unsupervised nurse doing anesthesia unless you have an anesthesiologist present.

2. CRNA or PharmD???

   stan-you are pretty funny; sad but funny nonetheless. It's obvious that you are insecure in your nursing job; as are a few CRNA who tout their abilities as "equal" to an anesthesiologsit. That point of view is totally silly.

   "supervision is a billing formality"? that's the most arrogant statement that I have heard in a long time......

   tirade of untruths? it's common sense that unsupervised nurses should NOT be providing ANY anesthesia care..........

   The difference is that your "research" is nursing-driven drivel.............If you want an unsupervised nurse doing your anesthetic, feel free too do so.

6. Can a patient refuse sedation?

   I must have had an awesome doc and nurses for my c-scope; I didn't get any drugs and it wasn't bad at all. After one of our primary care docs had long-term memory loss after a c-scope with Versed, I decided to skip it.

   I don't know about Admirals, Generals etc, but none of the physicians in my department would want an nurse administering their anesthesia unless the nurse was supervised by an anesthesiologist...and that's a distant choice to having an anesthesiologi...

8. Anesthesiologists being replaced by CRNAs???

   backscatter replied to MONEJA783's topic in CRNA

   For me, the basic question is: "do you want an unsupervised nurse (CRNA) doing your anesthesia"? When asked this somewhat blunt but honest question, most patients will answer with a resounding "no". Virtually every physican will give a more colorf...

9. CRNA or PharmD???

   backscatter replied to mambutz7hart's topic in SRNA

   We have both (PharmD and CRNA) in the family........the PharmD thinks that he is a physician and the crna thinks that she is an anesthesiologist. since I paid for both educational programs, I have a comment: if these programs lead to that type of ...

    once again, you need to read my comment. if you think that a nurse/crna is "equal" to an anesthesiologist, I disagree with you. many would say that you have a problem with reality testing. I don't trash crna, they have a place when supervised. ca...

    Read my comment again, I said: "Comparing the abilities and training of an anesthesiologist to a CRNA is a bit silly"....nobody said that crna do not have a role etc, etc.....but equating the abilities of a nurse/crna to that of an anesthesiologist...

    backscatter replied to MONEJA783's topic in CRNA

    Comparing the abilities and training of an anesthesiologist to a CRNA is a bit silly. I work with a lot of CRNA and not one of them thinks that they are equal in any way, shape of form to an anesthesiologist. Closely supervised by an anesthesiologi...
