CRNAs in Pain Management

Hello all. I was wondering if anyone could spread some light on the roles and duties of CRNAs within a pain management role.

Just what is it you pain mgmt guys do anyway?

Im a 11yr RN hoping to get into CRNA school in August 2008.

Thanks.

Push propofol so doctors can do the procedures.

CRNAs role varies widely, depending on specific institution. While a few CRNAs such as Jack Neary specialize in PM in its broader scope, most who do PM provide little more than epidural steroids.

AANA has a listing of discussion groups, including

Also try Googling Jack Neary CRNA, NAPES

Trust me, all you need to do is a search under good with CRNA and Pain Management. You would not believe the world of opportunities that will come up. You can also try Regional Anesthesia.
