  1. Can they do this?

    foraneman replied to Randomnurse3's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Actually the NCBON 'laws' do not say that at all. Refusal to take a drug test cannot be viewed as an admission of guilt. however it can trigger the board to require you be evaluated by an...

  3. NA's, Please tell me this isn't common practice!

    foraneman replied to traumaguy8's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    The preferred technique in a patient with a Halo is awake nasal intubation. Putting this patient to sleep and paralyzing him is ill advised and, speaking of lawsuits,

    foraneman replied to agnescwal's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Don't forget, IPN is VOLUNTARY. You do NOT have to sign a contract with them and you can take your case before the

    foraneman replied to IndianaNurse309's topic in Nurses Recovery

    DO NOT try and usurp the BON and get licensed in another state. You will end up having your license REVOKED in both

    Interfered with and affected by, yes. But not regulated or constructed by physicians. Physicians have no say in any curriculum content required, certification or re-certification exams was my

  7. One year CRNA program?

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

    One correction. In the 80's you were required to have completed a bachelors degree PRIOR to entering anesthesia school. CRNA was not part of the

  8. One year CRNA program?

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

    For one thing the training of CRNAs is not regulated by physicians. We certainly are not about to have them interfere with our re-certification. So, basically they can shut up, since it is not up to...

  9. One year CRNA program?

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

    Since paindoc has not responded for 5 days, and 1 day is his usual, he likely does NOT beleive his own argument. Paindoc has been vocal on CRNA issues in the past on this board, and since...

  10. One year CRNA program?

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

    Ah yes. Pass a 200 question exam (NOT some 6-8 hour exam regardless of your representation) once every 10 years and you are deemed a competent anesthesiologist and board certified for another 10...

  11. One year CRNA program?

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

    You have not answered any of my questions or commented on the fact that training in all specialties increases over time, and never has a need been identified to do what you are suggesting. Sorry, but...

  12. Anesthesia Plan of Care for Obstructive Sleep Apnea Patients

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

    Completion of ACLS does not license an individual to do anything. Endotracheal intubation does not become part of the scope of practice of an RN based on ACLS certification. Unless the institution has...

  15. One year CRNA program?

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

    I am sure you would agree that the technology and science of anesthesia has increased almost immeasurably during the past 25 years. While the length of anesthesiology curriculum for anesthesia...

  16. Anesthesia Plan of Care for Obstructive Sleep Apnea Patients

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

    I am assuming we are talking about OSA patients who are having surgery which is NOT to treat the OSA. Obviously it all depends on the patient and the procedure being performed. This goes for every...

  17. Anesthesia Plan of Care for Obstructive Sleep Apnea Patients

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

    wrong. no patient may leave the pacu without anesthesia discharging the patient...no one else may make that decision. nor may a patient be moved to any particular level of care without anesthesia...

  18. One year CRNA program?

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

    Theoretically I understand what you are saying, however the term 'denigrating' seems inappropriate and does not equate to some measurable adverse affect on quality of care and would imply a 'downward'...

  19. CRNAs and bathroom breaks...

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

    While mildly entertaining, none of what you say is true (I can only hope you were being funny). No anesthesia providers, CRNA or otherwise, wear 'depends' to compensate for a lack of bathroom breaks...

  20. Advice from experienced RNs please!!!!!

    foraneman replied to Missy89's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I absolutely positively HATED nursing (no offense...no emails please) and certainly would have left it years ago had I not gone to anesthesia school. It is an entirely different experience and simply...

  21. Did you become a CCRN before CRNA?

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

    Hey, we had to take manual BP's, with a cuff and stethoscope every 5 min. SaO2 was in all the rooms but EtCO2 was not and there was no mass. spec. Propofol did not exist but we had plenty of Ethrane...

  22. I am going to self-report to Georgia BON

    foraneman replied to Junebug59's topic in Nurses Recovery

    OK GOOD! The KARE program, while it is administered by the board and the staff is employed by the board, it IS a confidential diversion program. This is a common set up in many states. States with a...

  23. I am going to self-report to Georgia BON

    foraneman replied to Junebug59's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I don't mean to upset or scare you, but there are some realities you are facing. Probably your major issue is the felony conviction. Because of that it is likely that the board has to be involved and...

  24. ? about FirstLab or drug testing...

    foraneman replied to sl33y's topic in Nurses Recovery

    In order to find out what tests are done under each option you first determine the lab doing them. I believe that all of firstlab participants send their specimens to LabCorp. Just look at your...

  25. Hats, masks and bonnets in the OR suite

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

    Would be interested in whether any research has been done on this over the last few years. To be sure the practice of masks, hats and shoe covers as well as lab coats etc. began WITHOUT ANY scientific...
