1. cleaning poop

   EMS/ICU/SRNA replied to tprashad's topic in General Nursing

   Haha! This is exactly what I thought when I was going through nursing school. The instructors/professors did nothing to correct this misconception either (probably thought they would have a lot of dropped out students). The cold reality is that if yo...

   Never got used to it, hate it, that's why I'm in grad school. The only units where you would be completely excused from this duty would be non-bedside nursing or advanced practice

6. Non anesthesia provider providing anesthesia

   EMS/ICU/SRNA replied to EMS/ICU/SRNA's topic in CRNA

   Hey Mike, don't take this personally but it's just my U of Pitt education wanting to say something. In previous threads you kept throwing out the n numbers and the p values of the studies that you cited as proof that they were well conducted pieces o...

7. Thinking about CRNA... Advice PLEASE!

   EMS/ICU/SRNA replied to golfmontpoker's topic in SRNA

   BTW, a 3.6 and a 1200 will not blow any program away. Like a CRNA that I shadowed told me: "you're gonna need to bring those grades up to be competitive." (I had a 3.62 and a 1230 GRE when she told me that)

8. Thinking about CRNA... Advice PLEASE!

   EMS/ICU/SRNA replied to golfmontpoker's topic in SRNA

   Are you kidding us? First of all, there are not bachelor of ARTS in nursing that I am aware of. And being a "regular RN" is what makes CRNA's special. Like previous poster have said, yes it is more competitive to get into CRNA school than med school ...

   EMS/ICU/SRNA replied to EMS/ICU/SRNA's topic in CRNA

   This has been informative for me reading the back and forth banter through 7 pages of posts. I'm glad that I was able to generate this kind of response. However, I was hoping to get the official AANA/ASA's official stand on this issue. When I spoke t...

    I overheard an ED attending discussing a policy regarding the administration of propofol w/ an RN at work today. Apparently the policy states that propofol or any other medication may be administered to a non-intubated pt if an attending ED/Pulmonary...

11. Is the AA profession gaining ground?

    EMS/ICU/SRNA replied to Alpha13's topic in CRNA

    You're correct in saying that I have very little insight into your profession as I have lived in PA my entire life and up until OH allowed AA's to work the AA trend has been a southern phenomena. And I will concede that your knowledge of anesthesia i...

12. Is the AA profession gaining ground?

    EMS/ICU/SRNA replied to Alpha13's topic in CRNA

    You are an RN who went to CRNA school then went to AA school? If that were the case do you think that you would have an objective assessment of AA education having already been educated as a CRNA?

13. Is the AA profession gaining ground?

    EMS/ICU/SRNA replied to Alpha13's topic in CRNA

    I have read all of the AA/CRNA debate threads with great interest as I will soon be entering anesthesia school and ultimately the profession of anesthesia. The big debate seems to be preparation and experience prior to entering anesthesia school whet...
