USAGPAN is calling, AjaxAndronicus.......

"The Initiative" sounds so exclusive and mysterious. If you plan on staying in the Bay Area, try to do clinicals at hospitals you want to work at. If you're leaving the area entirely, just focus on getting excellent clinical experience and letters ...

The new Pocket Anesthesia is good... these laminated reference sheets are great: Anesthesia & Critical Care Reference Sheet | Home or Anesthesia Reference Sheets

If you're going to try for tuition reimbursement and a high salary, might as well get out of Florida now instead of later...

U.S. Army Graduate Program in Anesthesia Nursing

There are CRNAs at UCSD Thornton and Hillcrest.... and at the VA. Google a phone number and set up a few days of shadowing. Look into an accelerated BSN and do everything you can to make yourself the best candidate to get hired into an ICU as a new ...

It's possible that there is more to learn at your current job by digging deeper into the pathophysiology and pharmacology of anything and everything going on with your patient. Can you explain, to a molecular level, the acute and chronic changes occ...

Susie2310, I started the thread to share a petition, not to bring you literature on a platter. I presented the results of a very cursory literature search, you snipe at the results, present no evidence to support your biased opinion, and then pass j...

Feel free to perform a literature search on the subject and present the evidence yourself, or go ahead and continue to rely on your opinion. I have read only the articles pertaining to CRNA practice. It is not my goal, however, to correct your bias w...

I did include the link to the HealthAffairs Health Policy Brief from which I took the quote.... Here are some more articles to whet your appetite: Horrocks, S., Anderson, E., and Salisbury, C. “Systematic Review of Whether Nurse Practitioners Working...

I need a .gif of Cuba Gooding Jr saying "show me the evidence!" Does educational level correlate well with patient outcomes? You present "evidence by proclamation" only. AFAIK, NPs can practice in independent, unrestricted roles in 18 states. Are the...

The "just a signature" comment was meant more to deflect criticism of the petition... as if signing the petition takes away from other advocacy efforts. It was not meant to diminish its importance. By the same token, nobody expects a whitehouse.gov p...

Agreed! Thankfully, there is no need to pick one over the other.

Swans are definitely on the way out. We only see them in hearts, and plenty of places are doing hearts without swans these days, too. The evidence for their use just isn't there. I would LOVE to get my hands on one of these !Most of the non-invasi...

We transitioned to a completely open unit and took the locks off the doors in the name of family and patient centered care. The literature presented clearly supports it, and family members love it. Nurses generally hate it, because they treasured t...

I answer in generalities if police are present in person, but never over the phone. If it's a phone call I transfer it to the charge nurse or give the officer the nursing supervisor's phone number.

New policy: white scrubs for the two nurses who have gone the longest without a code brown!

Was my post moved or deleted? I had one reply from a moderator/guide concerned that advocacy efforts might better be focused elsewhere, I replied respectfully, and now the thread is nowhere to be found. What gives?

Of course, and good point! Lobbying the executive branch on matters that the President can't directly regulate can still make an important difference, though. e.g. if CMS doesn't pay, then it doesn't matter (as much) what any state says the APRN ca...

from what I understand, CRNA malpractice rates actually dropped in the years following passage of the Medicare Opt Out rule.

better that they jerk you around now instead of later when you are a student!

as a civilian, you will not get one. you will get your first DA 31 when you PCS to your Phase 2 site.
