  1. Well, since this is a CRNA thread, OP is saying many people think it's insane the amount they make. It really isn't though because it is a very high skill and high risk job. As a CRNA you hold...
  2. Somewhere is your area there should be some kind of advocacy agency, I hope. ADS would probably be one, but know of others. One of the hardest things for disabled people sometimes is to find out...
  3. Another Five Star Visitor Thread

    give her a glass of it to drink. maybe she'd get the picture that it's not water.:smackingf the fact that they could cause their "loved" one much suffering and just not get it when they are explained...
  4. I want to become a CRNA

    Many hospitals will accept you straight into the
  5. AANA members

    Yes Mike, it does. It brings more questions, but more ones that maybe we should ask the lawmakers, and could support the ANAA's case. Why should insurance pay more for MDAs instead of CRNAs in most...
  6. AANA members

    Thanks Mike for helping to clear the mud a bit for me. I still have one thing that tickles the old brain. It's still in the comparison of CRNA to MDA training. Our Nursing BSN is as Premed BS degree...
  7. NOW does the public understand?

    :smackingf I missed the Sarcasm. My

    OK, clear something up for me. Residency happens AFTER med school, right? Med Students are not paid, and do not get reimbursement for what they do. Is that correct? If that is true, why should we...
  9. NOW does the public understand?

    Nurses do get hit with lawsuits, just not as
  10. I'm not sure I dare say it.. oh forgive me all, but Myspace.com does have info on others that say they are in your schools. I have found others that have profiles in my area. You can seach by majors...
  11. NOW does the public understand?

    I think that is the key to the situation. It's not just the men, but those women that won't put up with it as well. If you call them on it, up front, most will back down and treat you with respect....
  12. Please explain to me why people think this is weird?

    As far as passing it on to your child, you should be able to get a scrach test done at an Alergist, I would think. Me, I'm alergic to black walnut pollen... there are three in my
  13. Big bad nurse bully

    Actually I beleive that bullies are ONE of the main reasons for the nursing shortage. If they are allowed to stay on a floor, you will likely have a higher turnover in adition to other problems...
  14. NOW does the public understand?

    To stand up for yourself is VERY important. NO ONE should take abuse in the workplace (or anywhere else for that matter.) To act passive aggressive though, I would feel no better, maybe even worse...
  15. NOW does the public understand?

    I would like to say, hold up, male nurses are treated badly too, and they are, but not as often. If they let people start treating them bad, it continues the same. Unfortunately, they do seem to get...

    I do hate getting form letters back that have nothing to do with the issue I'm mailing
  17. AANA members

    Noramlly pre-written letter don't normally have the same impact. It's kind of like you receiveing bulk mail over and over. It's like spam, you ignore it. If you write a good letter, you can send...
  18. The patient doesn't know that. It might make a patient feel like the doctor was doing the hardest part, and as far as they probably know, the MDA was there the whole
  19. Best Brand of Shoes

    Seems to me it's much harder for men to find decent looking shoes, especially if you try to get white nursing shoes. They either have hearts, or a fem design. I wear New Balance white walking shoes,...
  20. NOW does the public understand?

    I'm loving this thread . So many posts I have seen by nurses and students about how they are treated bad by Doctors, Admins, and even other nurses and thought, "if we only start standing up, all of...
  21. Patients reading their own charts-yay or nay?

    Ok, from the ANA website at http://www.nursingworld.org/readroom/position/joint/jtdata.htm: Access by the Patient: Individually identifiable patient health care information is private and is often...
  22. curious...hemophobia anyone?

    My wife can watch someone else bleed to death, but one little drop of blood comes out of her and she sometimes passes out. Me, I watch while I get shots or give blood. I watch surgury vids and eat...
  23. NOW does the public understand?

    I'm a student as well, and as a student I would take it, then inform my instructor. As a nurse, I think I would pull them aside and very politely tell them that I respect how hard they have worked...
  24. AANA members

    Instead of just opposing the bill, because the bill is a just cause, wouldn't it be better to ask that the bill just be modified to include SRNA programs? In other words, all anesthesia programs...
  25. I'm done

    Personally I would consult a lawyer. If your injury occored on the job they should cover your workers comp, even if they deny it. A lawyer can tell you the appeal process and help you if it needs to...
