2. Sedation by non-anesthesia personel

   forane2001 replied to NeuroNP's topic in CRNA

   Yeah, ER docs push the drugs and miss the airway or tear the cuff and call anesthesia to clean up the mess

3. Do you have any anesthesia helpers?

   forane2001 replied to Laughing Gas's topic in CRNA

   I am glad this topic was introduced. My facility is saturated with this type of mentality, so much that I have considered leaving. CRNA's are often "dumbed-down by other OR staff" Comments like" well you are just a nurse" are made at times. I hav...

   forane2001 replied to forane2001's topic in CRNA

   Thanks piper for your understanding post. I am an advanced practice nurse. I hold a degree in anesthesiology and that is what I practice, not bedside nursing. Sorry, but that is how I feel. CRNA's have paid their dues. If you had gone thru the ...

   forane2001 replied to forane2001's topic in CRNA

   Your right it is a CRNA forum. Would the anesthesiologist been handed the cloth to clean the patient? I think not! That doesnt happen in the real world. I felt like this situation was an attempt to belittle me in front of the whole OR. I am not a...

   forane2001 posted a topic in CRNA

   Crna's out there: How would you feel and respond to the phrase" you are just a nurse too". My place of employment is shall I say "less than respectful" to CRNA's. All too often the aforementioned statement is directed in my path. I know of nothing th...

8. Become A Nurse Just To Be A Crna?

   forane2001 replied to SKYSTHELIMIT's topic in CRNA

   It takes the right caliber person to be a CRNA. The requirements may say min of 1 year but most have several years experience. Admissions is tough. No cakewalk and it may take more that one application. Its a whole different world. NO comparsion ...

9. Become A Nurse Just To Be A Crna?

   forane2001 replied to SKYSTHELIMIT's topic in CRNA

   What about CRNA's that are told they are "just a nurse". How would that make you feel. One day I had my wallet out looking for a note that I had written and one of the scrubs in the room said "There is nothing in there, your just a nurse!" I prompt...

10. Anesthesia Techs placing lines

    forane2001 replied to bwt02's topic in CRNA

    Why don't we just ask the Walmart greeter come up and do lines, epidurals, and IV's. At my hospital I think they get new hires by standing on the corner and passing out applications. I appreciate our anesthesia techs where I am but sometimes they o...

12. Be-littling CRNA's

    forane2001 replied to forane2001's topic in CRNA

    Thanks Big Dave, I think for now I will just document the incident in my own file and have it ready in case something else pops up. It would not be appropriate to bring this topic up in front of the other pacu staff-probably will have more of them ...

14. Be-littling CRNA's

    forane2001 replied to forane2001's topic in CRNA

    I dont mind to help out but it really annoys me especially in the OR actions such as tieing everybody up and hanging irrigation and raising the bed or moving this or that. (Hello people, I have a job too. The BP is 60/49 but lets stop and tie up the...

15. Be-littling CRNA's

    forane2001 posted a topic in CRNA

    Just wondering how many CRNA's feel put down in their job-especially by ancillary staff (scrub tecks,(lol) circulators, and PACU RNS I love being a CRNA and like all of you I worked extremely hard under difficult cirumstances to achieve this goal. I...
