   How many CRNA grads end up going for the full blown MDA? Does anyone know?

2. Here's what AAs really think of CRNAs

   user69 replied to Athlein1's topic in CRNA

   Let's not forget that many of the new CRNA students served the absolute minimum caring for patients before starting there programs. About half of my class has said that they went into nursing just as a path to the CRNA job. I know that in the past n...

3. Washington, D.C. CRNAS

   user69 replied to pnurseuwm's topic in CRNA

   My observation from the amount of bickering and hate throwing on this board, is that AAs are very significant. At least to you DeepZ. If the AA issue is so insignificant then why do so many people have such deep rooted feelings about a handful of p...

5. pediatric practice

   Can someone tell me the differences between working in a general practice and a dedicated pediatric practice? The info I am looking for is just the kind of day to day differences, and not the specific dosages or medications. Thanks

6. MD referring to CRNA as 'support staff'

   user69 replied to kestrel1121's topic in CRNA

   Could the remark have been meant just to put the patient and there family at ease and not as a major political statement to force CRNAs everywhere to be subservient? Also I would think that anyone providing anesthesia (AA, CRNA, MDA) is part of the s...

8. How do CRNAs/SRNAs benefit anesthesiology residents?

   user69 replied to HawaiiRN's topic in CRNA

   Quick question for the CRNAs that are practicing now. Does a MDA take offince to the term "Anesthesia Doctor"?

9. How do CRNAs/SRNAs benefit anesthesiology residents?

   user69 replied to HawaiiRN's topic in CRNA

   I am still confused on why a CRNA would work for any MDA, much less one that does not have proper respect for a fellow professional. I understand that an AA has to be supervised, so it makes since on why they work for a MDA. But from my understandi...

    JWK, How many people in your class of AAs were English majors? And how many of the English majors out there have all of the pre-med coursework needed to get into one of the AA programs? Are there any CRNAs that are practicing today that do not have ...

12. Laptops and PDAs

    user69 replied to movinsouth's topic in CRNA

    I have a Palm T3 and it works great. Most of my class has Palm PDAs. Many of the Anesthesia books come with a free version in electronic format and are great reference from the PDA. I have a Palm OS PDA, but I think that almost all of the software...

13. Wow. Louisiana Legislature Votes To Ban AA's

    user69 replied to Sheri257's topic in CRNA

    Does anyone know why the vote was so one sided? I was not so surprised about the outcome, but was amazed that it was a landslide. Just good lobbying on the part of the AANA or was it typical Louisiana politics? Also, does anyone want to give odds t...

14. What's going to keep you motivated????

    user69 replied to SRNACHIC's topic in CRNA

    One you are in, the best motivation is probably knowing that you already have student loans invested in your education. By sticking it out you will be able to at least be able to break even and then quit.
