  1. Swan Lines

    MmacFN replied to 2ndChance's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Hey W! Well, that might be helpful but then i have managed without them as well. Just out of interest i did a quick literature search. Seems that the overall position is the risk vs benefit isnt...

  2. Swan Lines

    MmacFN replied to 2ndChance's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Well said Tran I guess thats why the organizations suggest "Acute Care" as opposed to a year in ICU. The schools are the ones who enforce a non-existant standard. I know a few ER only people who got...

    MmacFN replied to 2ndChance's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    hey Dont worry about swans at all. When i first started just about every ICU patient had one. Over the years research has shown they have contributed more to mortality than to diagnostics. I might see...

    MmacFN replied to PTU2SLP's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Well said alpha Also, very professional reply! Thank you! I think we are actually on the same page. It is true that you hear so much about their discrepencies and how they get away with them that it...

    MmacFN replied to PTU2SLP's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Alpha Sorry there, but you need a reality check. It is irrelevant how "many" there are. Its relevant that they get special treatment and an unfathomable amount of money for doing a job which...

  9. how could I do this?

    MmacFN replied to mingus_lost's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    No, it would be impossible to have direct entry. You have to become an RN with a bachelors. You do not need your bachelors in nursing but there are pre reqs for each school somewhat different. You may...

  10. how much $ is too much

    MmacFN replied to PTU2SLP's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Windy Foreign RNs have no effect upon CRNA wages. They come here entering jobs with the same wage you get as an RN. The only way they could possibly effect RN wages is if they absolutely allieviated...

  12. Question for the Post Grads

    MmacFN posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Hey all. After much discussion with anesthesiologist friends of mine I wanted to seek the opinion of the experienced CRNAs on the list here. First, let me say that these guys were quite positive about...

  13. Question for the Post Grads

    MmacFN replied to MmacFN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    hey gas that makes alot of sense. I had not ruled out a CRNA group but based on the majority of practices out there ACT seems to be the one existing in large institutions with a huge variety of case...

  15. advantages of MSN rather than other Master's for CRNA?

    MmacFN replied to a_clay's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Ahhh totally. None of the programs i looked into were not associated with a school of nursing. I had no idea that there were alternate masters offered. Thanks for the

  16. advantages of MSN rather than other Master's for CRNA?

    MmacFN replied to a_clay's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Hey heart U and i are on the same page. I find MSN core classes somewhat "fluffish". I do believe, however that an MSN is a good thing and here is why: 1) Dont have to have MSN to do PhD in nursing....

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

    MmacFN replied to SRNACHIC's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    hey 30 Anesthesiology Assistants (if thats what you meant by AA) make compareable wages as CRNAs. Certainly not 40K a year. The reason noone here went the "anesthesiology technician" route is because...

  19. CRNA Pay?

    MmacFN replied to schizo85's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    hmm Isnt a Nurse JD a lawyer not a Nurse anymore? Lawyer is a whole seperate profession and isnt an advanced nursing role, the increased starting pay is simply a concequence of nursing experience....

  20. What to do during the inbetweens?

    MmacFN replied to CRNAorBust's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    wow Quite a strict place you were at there. Sounds like the problem was not really you. Everyone has made mistakes. Moreover, this is an expectation with new grads everywhere but particularily in the...

    MmacFN posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Hey all Just wanted to get the general concensus from the experienced CRNAs as to where the best states to practice in are. I know there are alot of jobs just about everywhere, but there must be some...

  22. how much $ is too much

    MmacFN replied to PTU2SLP's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    It is also important to look at supply and demand. It was only 5 years ago that CRNAs might start at 80-90K. As nursing has seen a shortage and a drastic increase in wages via supply and demand, so...

  25. How much movement does it take to dislodge a tube?

    MmacFN replied to KsMICT's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Looking at the math (which gave me a headache!) it seems to me that the practice of shortening a tube in regards to the effects of Poiseuille's law would be negligible. What patient would you have...
