  1. Tips on securing a nasal ETT! and other advise :)

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

    I first have to say...what a GREAT CALL....that is the kind of call that made me love being a medic. Challenging and requires you keep thinking and adapting. Wakes up? Nasal him again...should be...

  2. Tips on securing a nasal ETT! and other advise :)

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

    I have to disagree a bit. It should not be a matter of knowing when NOT to intubate, but rather WHEN to intubate. And i think there IS a difference. In fact I taught my paramedic students to evaluate...

  3. Nurses Pushing Propofol for Conscious Sedation -Your Thoughts?

    foraneman replied to *traumaRN*'s topic in Gastroenterology

    And I NOW I better add this before I catch hell.....IF an RN has undergone a VERY specialized training program which results in their being PROFICIENT at sedating, paralyzing and intubating patients,...

  4. Nurses Pushing Propofol for Conscious Sedation -Your Thoughts?

    foraneman replied to *traumaRN*'s topic in Gastroenterology

    I have to disagree. It is not up to a patient to know what is or is not 'out of the normal' for a particular clinical setting. It is up to the practitioners to educate the patient, whether health...

  5. CRNA Threat

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

    There are fewer than 2000 AAs practicing and they have been around for 20 years. Not a significant threat to CRNA

  6. CRNA Threat

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

    This is not limited to rural settings. One also has to define what one means by 'complete autonomy'. If complete autonomy means providing an anesthetic from start to finish without any material...

  7. Can a RN with no certification in anesthesia administer tumescent anesthesia?

    foraneman replied to sleepy1010's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    As a CRNA, I would REFUSE TO do it if that gives you some idea how I view the added liability so that the surgeon can be lazy. mixing it is fine...injecting..no way. You WILL eventually perforate a...

  8. Management of Epidurals, Bolus dosing?

    foraneman replied to rkitty198's topic in General Nursing

    So I am not entirely clear....are we in fact talking about using the pump and not a syringe in your particular situation? In order to develop a protocol (which I think is a MUST before proceeding)...

  9. Doctoral Preparation of Nurse Anesthetists

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

    I should have used the term endorsed instead of implemented. On October 25, 2004, the member schools affiliated with the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) voted to endorse the...

  10. Possible future CRNA with no swan experience?

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

    Swan experience, or lack thereof, will not make or break your acceptance to CRNA school. Yes, you will learn Swan insertion and interpretation in CRNA

  11. Can a RN with no certification in anesthesia administer tumescent anesthesia?

    foraneman replied to sleepy1010's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    CRNAs and Anesthesiologists do not administer tumescent anesthesia generally. It essentially is local anesthesia but in a diluted volumes and usually over a wise ares of tissue. The large volume and...

  12. Doctoral Preparation of Nurse Anesthetists

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

    Following their implementation of the MS requirement for advanced practice nurses, the american association of colleges of nursing (AACN) is the body who proposed, developed, approved and implemented...

  13. CRNA VS anesthesiologist MD

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

    WHAT in the world are you talking about? None of what you say is true. An RRT cannot "do" anesthesia period. CoARC has nothing to do with determining who can be an AA-C. I have no idea what an AA-T...

  14. CRNA VS anesthesiologist MD

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

    That is an not unreasonable argument objectively. Fortunately CRNAs, medicare, the health care community at large, hospitals and patients do not rely on CRNAs to make the determination that CRNAs...

    Simply put...you are

  16. CRNA VS anesthesiologist MD

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

    First, it bears stating that where a physician (MDA or otherwise) 'supervises' a CRNA whether by statute, insurance requirement or local institution policy they DO NOT become responsible for the...

  20. Can they do this?

    foraneman replied to Randomnurse3's topic in Nurses Recovery

    OKAY....... I apologize. I was not paying attention the way I should have and allowed myself to assume that since someone was commenting vehemently on what the state of NC does, then the issue must...

    foraneman replied to Randomnurse3's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Oh boy. Please suspend what you think you know about this for just a few minutes and at least hear what i am saying. Administrative Law is an area of law that is very unique and specific in its rules,...

    foraneman replied to Randomnurse3's topic in Nurses Recovery
