   I'm not shocked that a dissenting voice would immediately bring accusations of being an MDA or AA. The AANA force is strong , I see, in this one.

   You would guess wrong. I only think the AANA has mishandled the entire ASA/AANA war over the years. My AANA number is 042XXX.. I've been at this a while. If you do not think the election of Dr Fitch is a huge advantage for the ASA.... you have "Quaff...

5. Do CRNA schools care where you got your BSN?

   I think there are some Florida and Texas schools that will waive that requirement.

6. Stress dosing in adrenally insufficient patients substantially exceed requirements

   puppies'n kittens replied to wtbcrna's topic in CRNA

   Question about subjects like these are what I would love to see in the recert exam... Then we will find out who keeps up on the science and who sits on a stool not learning a thing since school.

7. Anyone find CRNA School EASIER than made out to be?

   puppies'n kittens replied to SlyFoxRN's topic in SRNA

   Simply not true. There are schools out there that will accept PACU and ER as experience..." Critical Care" is not well defined by the COA or AANA. I'm a bit tired of people thinking it is difficult to get into a program. In the last 5 to 10 years the...

8. A new reversal for neuromuscular blockers

   puppies'n kittens replied to wtbcrna's topic in CRNA

   Succ, neo and glycol are not on patent and there is very little profit with those drugs. One of the main reasons suggamandex was not approved was it was presented to the FDA right after the Vioxx debacle. That C2I was fast tracked through approval wi...

    puppies'n kittens replied to wtbcrna's topic in CRNA

    I do not know how long you have been doing this... BUT listen to what that surgeon said. And remember.. NEVER EVER EVER EVER trust a diabetic or obese persons stomach to be empty. I think our profession has become complacent with LMAs and use them is...

12. European Body Calls for Halt to Marketing of Hydroxyethyl Starch

    puppies'n kittens replied to wtbcrna's topic in CRNA

    I quit using the stuff when I heard all the studies had been withdrawn. A study showing poor outcomes in Critically Ill ICU patients and HES predated the withdrawl of the studies. I use nothing but crytalloids, and blood products now.

    puppies'n kittens replied to traumaRUs's topic in CRNA

    I think you are missing the point where I am OPPOSED to capital punishment. I'm glad the EU is doing this.

    puppies'n kittens replied to puppies'n kittens's topic in CRNA

    They will win the PR war. The general public has not been keen on critical thinking skills. The ASA now has a president who has been a CRNA. As for politicians... they are not the " Best and Brightest" of our society... ( Think Sarah Palin)...Dr Fitc...
