  1. CRNAs Should Not be Allowed to Practice Independently - One Anesthesiologist’s Opinion

    ArmyRntoMD replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    There’s a reason my patient satisfaction rates are high. Patients deserve the best care, and if advocating for more education is a bad thing, I don’t want to be right. Know how often I see nurses...

  2. CRNAs Should Not be Allowed to Practice Independently - One Anesthesiologist’s Opinion

    ArmyRntoMD replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    No I’m actually known for my bedside manner. I just don’t think being personable is something that can be taught. Either you have it or you don’t. Ive been good at that since I was a small...

  3. CRNAs Should Not be Allowed to Practice Independently - One Anesthesiologist’s Opinion

    ArmyRntoMD replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    That’s not the experience I have heard. Every physician I spoke to acted surprised I even asked. Doesn’t sound laughably easy like RN school. The nurses that went MD explained it if RN school is...

  4. CRNAs Should Not be Allowed to Practice Independently - One Anesthesiologist’s Opinion

    ArmyRntoMD replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I just fail to see that schooling can be very intense if you can still manage to work full time while completing it. One reason why I see CRNA as more challenging than NP. Couldn’t imagine working...

  5. CRNAs Should Not be Allowed to Practice Independently - One Anesthesiologist’s Opinion

    ArmyRntoMD replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Oh med school education isn’t perfect. My friends have told me how much BS it is too, but it would be nice to be able to make more money. I only work 4 days a nurse right now, and would plan on...

  6. CRNAs Should Not be Allowed to Practice Independently - One Anesthesiologist’s Opinion

    ArmyRntoMD replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Well yeah... they’re residents. Show me an NP that run rings around a competent MD in their same field. The ceiling is just much higher with MD. Also, I’m not arguing that some NPs are great. My...

  7. CRNAs Should Not be Allowed to Practice Independently - One Anesthesiologist’s Opinion

    ArmyRntoMD replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I’m just stating my opinion. And you keep saying MDs back you up when they really don’t. All of the physicians in online communities I am aware of are actively calling for a challenge to the...

  8. Nurses and Bullying: 4 Things You Can Do

    ArmyRntoMD replied to jeastridge's topic in General Nursing

    How do you bully an adult? Tell them to &*^%

  9. CRNAs Should Not be Allowed to Practice Independently - One Anesthesiologist’s Opinion

    ArmyRntoMD replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    So why do LPNs not give IV medications? Are there studies saying its less safe? Or administering

  10. So we have enough nurses nursing supervisor, really?

    ArmyRntoMD replied to Workitinurfava's topic in General Nursing

    My nursing supervisor gives me the smallest raise because of dumb sh like that. Oh well lol. I got more important things to do like make sure my patients are medically taken care of. But i I have...

  11. What should a student do if a majority of the class failed a test

    ArmyRntoMD replied to Nancy W's topic in General Students

    I was very disappointed with how easy nursing was. I partly did it for the challenge, and there was little. The challenge that was there were the “gotcha” questions on tests that didn’t test how...

  12. What should a student do if a majority of the class failed a test

    ArmyRntoMD replied to Nancy W's topic in General Students

    I worked a full time job when I was in nursing school and my friend got a BSN in nursing AND a degree in biochem concurrently. Nursing education isn’t difficult. The physical work and mental strain...

  13. What should a student do if a majority of the class failed a test

    ArmyRntoMD replied to Nancy W's topic in General Students

    Like I said, they did teach me. Nursing is pretty simple education wise. The only difficult part is “real world nursing” where the answer isn’t black and white and everything they teach you in...

  14. What should a student do if a majority of the class failed a test

    ArmyRntoMD replied to Nancy W's topic in General Students

    That’s unrealistic. The first time a doctor chews your *** for something you had no clue about are you going to say “well they didn’t teach us that in nursing school?” That being said, yes...

  15. The Stigma of Men in Nursing

    ArmyRntoMD replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    That didn’t happen to me. Must just be bad luck. They asked but no one had a problem. Trust me there are many ways our sex works in our favor. I’ve always gotten my work done super early and...

  16. What should a student do if a majority of the class failed a test

    ArmyRntoMD replied to Nancy W's topic in General Students

    Are your teachers not teaching you? Mine taught me. They just didn’t teach me every little thing. Does that seem practical? How many hours in class would that take? You should be able to go home,...

  17. CRNAs Should Not be Allowed to Practice Independently - One Anesthesiologist’s Opinion

    ArmyRntoMD replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I’m not a doc yet. I’m a CCRN still. And don’t get me wrong, I have a ton of respect for CRNAs. I just don’t see what the downside for having physician oversight is. I’m strongly against NP...

  18. CRNAs Should Not be Allowed to Practice Independently - One Anesthesiologist’s Opinion

    ArmyRntoMD replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Of course hospital administrators are happy with the care. They like whatever saves them a buck. I don’t know which surgeons you’ve talked to, but all of the surgeons I’ve talked to beg to...

  19. Was RN school easy for you?

    ArmyRntoMD replied to EV1518's topic in General Students

    You could at my school. People failed it and had to redo the semester. But it was so easy that there was no excuse to fail it. It wasn’t even algebra. If you can’t do simple math I’m not sure...

  20. Was RN school easy for you?

    ArmyRntoMD replied to EV1518's topic in General Students

    But as far as I know, no school will make you mentally calculate complex dosages in your head, that makes zero sense. I mean anyone with half a brain can do like “morphine comes 2mg in a 1 mL vial....

  21. Was RN school easy for you?

    ArmyRntoMD replied to EV1518's topic in General Students

    I dunno why it posted the pics twice but why did y’all have to do it mentally? I had pen and paper for all dosage calc quizzes. It was almost all basic common sense dimensional analysis. Even...

  22. Was RN school easy for you?

    ArmyRntoMD replied to EV1518's topic in General Students

    We had to make an 80% 1st semester, 90% second and a 100% last semester. But it isn’t even algebra level. I miss that stuff

  23. Was RN school easy for you?

    ArmyRntoMD replied to EV1518's topic in General Students

    I never understood why people stress over dosage calculation. It’s such basic

  24. Was RN school easy for you?

    ArmyRntoMD replied to EV1518's topic in General Students

    It could be difficult based on social circumstances but no, BSN material is

  25. The Stigma of Men in Nursing

    ArmyRntoMD replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn’t tell them that. I don’t mind accommodating them as long as we aren’t pushing to fit some kind of quota. If there are no male nurses on a floor??‍♂️ sorry. Somehow we made it...
