  3. you have to shut the doc down in front of family, painfull I know but it works. phycians are used to having the last say and not being challanged. whey you correct them in public they freeze. they...
  4. Pain Management CRNA

    I liked it. and I was the one being called a dummy (in jest) I think likening nurses to other oppressed groups is a perfect comparison. In the nazi prison camps jews were put in charge of...
  5. Before I started school I had questions about needing a laptop or a pda and what was important? So I got a laptop and I used it all year, everyday. I wanted a dell and I got all the goodies...
  6. Pain Management CRNA

    why is it so offensive that nurses would broaden their scope of practice as the world evolves. MD's do it as new technology comes available the practice new treatment modalities. so why cannot...
  7. eph I think this is a great question. but I dont think anyone is gonna stick there neck out and answer it for ya. its a bit of a touchy subject. for some reason. In the past this has come up but so...
  8. CRNA malpractice costs

    so if phycian anethsetists were sued 7 times more than crna's and Anesthesia is given by CRNA's 60% of the time in this country.. what does that mean..??? I just want to say. someday if I have the...
  9. TD I have much the same resent (if that's what you call it) as deepz.(although he is older and wiser) I appreciate that for some fraction of your posts you've had a calm tone. I just wanted you to...
  10. I think this makes docs more like nurses in this light. now they wanna know if you can talk to people. now after all these years they think it might be important to communicate. what, you mean...
  11. first they are trying to get more diverse degrees in med school and now this if they want docs that are more like nurses why don't they just take their admisson pool from a pool of nurses. quick fix...
  12. what is going on in our forum??? really I've seen more just outright fights in the last several months than ever before. It seems they all fall under the guise of "open minded", "educational"...
  13. this forum has sure evolved. I remember back when there was less than 10 of us or so. I like the diversity now but it sure can get heated. which I also like. just an observation as to how fast...
  14. the foundation of the AANA is a silly refrence for the beggings of Anesthesia as a profession. come on
  15. I'd like to just copy that summary off and hand to anyone that asks me about my scope family,frieds and foes. I am getting sick of deffending my self and sounding self consious. do you think you can...
  16. I just want to address some of the major points on this thread and say how I feal. 1. THE MONEY ISSUE: you know the truth is money motivates us to do most everything. the reason we go to school...
  17. SRNA drop out rates

    if you really want it your not going to fail out. I mean if you are hungry and scared you will do everything possible and it will serve you well. as far as "over admiting" I don't belive it....
  18. It seems like I heard that a provider was doing this last year or so and got caught and ended up loosing his liscence or somthing. again it was a midwestern state. I don't remeber the details but he...
  19. some where in my memory banks it seems like I met a CRNA that was moonlight doing vet. Anesthesia. is this possible or am I crazy. (don't answer that) not that I aspire to do this at all but just...
  20. Pain Management CRNA

    there is a CRNA in one of these midwestern states. I want to say iowa that does Pain clinic only. 9 neuro surgeons refer to her clinic and she does neuroaxial steroid injections (if thats the proper...
  21. CRNA Contracts

    I really like this thread, I don't have anything smart to say but I think she has a point. in fact I've heard finacial stratigest say not to worry about your school loans so
  22. I think those are important classes to do well in, even more so than nursing core classes. those "hard science" classes are sometimes pulled out of your trascripts and looked at
  23. vetrenary A..

    Thanks for the insight. from now on capital "A" from me means Anesthesia. Spelling was a nuisance and typing.. lol what's next. I am kidding of
  24. I was wondering to day, I could be way off. It almost seems like the Ventilators used in the O.R. are those that time forgot. Is there any real reason why anesthesia machines havn't...
