  1. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    n_g replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I know how difficult it is because I live with one after watching her go through medical school and now residency. Medical education is not simply about rote memorization. It's about applying what...

  3. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    n_g replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    After seeing what medical students and residents have to go through, there are very few people in nursing who could make it through to the end. You may say I'm wrong, but why don't you first closely...

    Who wants to place bets for how long Mundinger keeps her

  5. Is the AA profession gaining ground?

    n_g replied to Alpha13's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Just follow the money. How do you reduce costs? Introduce competition. Why do you guys think that FL and NC passed AA legislation in the face of huge AANA

  6. Senior SRNA Accepted to Medical School. Now what?

    n_g replied to MelissaRN.FutureCRNA's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I've been through enough of these boom and bust cycles. When life's good, it feels like it's gonna last forever, doesn't

  7. Senior SRNA Accepted to Medical School. Now what?

    n_g replied to MelissaRN.FutureCRNA's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    It depends on whether you believe in supply and demand. Once the CRNA supply catches up to demand or when more states pass AA legislation and more AA schools open, then the CRNA party is over....

  8. What awful attitudes!

    n_g replied to Lisa CCU RN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    i say, follow the money. everyone wants to drive down costs. we can put up roadblocks, but how long is that gonna

  9. What awful attitudes!

    n_g replied to Lisa CCU RN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    i read it and i'm similarly disgusted. but the posting about how states and hospitals want lower costs is reasonable. if hospitals love crna's because they're cheaper than mda's, then they will love...

  10. Dumb question--What do you NPs do?

    n_g replied to Joe NightingMale's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    APN's are just as good as MD/DO's. Studies have shown we have equal or superior

  11. Dumb question--What do you NPs do?

    n_g replied to Joe NightingMale's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Sure, NP's can do everything a FP doc can do, at 85% reimbursement rate. It's not a bad deal considering we have lower loan debt and training is only 2

  12. Do CRNA's do chronic pain management

    n_g replied to jenj1928's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    This was the question raised in Louisiana. The Supreme Court of Louisiana said that pain management is medicine and not under the scope of CRNA's. CRNA's also failed legislatively to change the...

  13. Anyone heard of any NP to MD programs?

    n_g replied to kittyw's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Good for you for wanting to live rurally. However, your average person doesn't, including MD's, NP's,

  14. Anyone heard of any NP to MD programs?

    n_g replied to kittyw's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Exactly. NP's are no more likely to want to live out in the boonies than docs. People want recreation, culture, museums, etc. Claiming that you need NP autonomy so that they can serve the rural...

  15. Anyone heard of any NP to MD programs?

    n_g replied to kittyw's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Med schools are not starving for students. If the country needs more docs, the schools let in more students...and they start from the beginning. The AAMC has expanded enrollment by 20% in the last...

  16. How exactly does a surgeon "supervise" a CRNA?

    n_g replied to platon20's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    If you had to place your bets, how much longer before the number of states that pass AA legislation eclipses the number of states that have opted out? The current score is 11 vs.

  17. the AA question (Anesthesiologist Anger)

    n_g replied to Burnt2's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Of course, no one ever lies about who they are on the internet. *wink, wink*. Deepz seems to have the lowdown on this character. I'm sure he's got the proof that this guy is who he really claims to...

  18. Just wondering........

    n_g replied to CRNANUPE_2B's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    We're nurses, not physicians. They don't teach that stuff in nursing school or CRNA

  20. PANA vs Pennsylvania Society of Anesthesiologist

    n_g replied to CRNANUPE_2B's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    This was a bad week for CRNA's. 1) NC passes AA legislation and gov will sign 2) Louisiana legislation to allow pain management died 3) PA legislation died

  21. Is the AA profession gaining ground?

    n_g replied to Alpha13's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I support increased access to anesthesia care. That means having more providers and that's why I support AA's. You are all hypocrites with your arguments that AA's are less capable than CRNA's....

  22. Is the AA profession gaining ground?

    n_g replied to Alpha13's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    When did CRNA's first get independence? It's only been 2001. Before that, there was no need to push for the AA's. The anesthesiologists are finally waking up. We haven't seen the full brunt of...

  23. Is the AA profession gaining ground?

    n_g replied to Alpha13's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Just face it. If the ASA wants AA's, it's just a matter of time before all 50 states will have laws to support them. Texas will accept AA's because they have a long history of being receptive to...

  24. Is the AA profession gaining ground?

    n_g replied to Alpha13's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    When the specter of dirty politics by the AANA raises its ugly head, it is curious how everything falls silent. Don't write off NC just
