  10. CRNA Instruction

    AL bug replied to Doug Cameron's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    After reading my posts, I don't think they made a whole lot of sense. I think we have done a remarkable job of screwing up the intent of your question. I hope this clears up my former excuse for an...

  11. CRNA Instruction

    AL bug replied to Doug Cameron's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    AL bug replied to speed's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  16. Fat?

    AL bug replied to kysuns's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I don't think that is a bad question at all. I am a large person, but very funtional and agile for my size. I am also tall, so my weight is distributed pretty evenly. I know a CRNA that is about 60yo,...
