  1. If you have some good ghost stories send them to George Noorey at

    Roland replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

    This also represents a possible opportunity to get allnurses some world wide publicity! I personally would like to see the number of "members" to increase from well over thirty thousand to over 60K....

  2. Why does Pennsylvania seem to have so many more CRNA schools than any other state and

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

    If we should BOTH get accepted then SHE will probably go first. That is because while my GPA is stronger (currently 3.85 verses 3.45 for her) SHE has far superior innate clinical ability (she almost...

  3. Why does Pennsylvania seem to have so many more CRNA schools than any other state and

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

    The travel nursing sounds interesting, but how common is it to be able to stay in a general area. We have a three year old son so it is important that we be able to stay together as a family as much...

  4. Why does Pennsylvania seem to have so many more CRNA schools than any other state and

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

    You may be misreading what I said. There are two of us and only ONE will be going to CRNA school at a time. However, we will BOTH be applying to CRNA schools at the SAME time with whoever gets...

  5. Why does Pennsylvania seem to have so many more CRNA schools than any other state and

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

    Thanks for the input. One of the reasons that I want to move first is so that we can apply to more schools each year. By that I mean that if we applied from Indiana even three schools per year...

  6. CRNA reject... NP school here we come?

    Roland replied to TMnurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Where did I say that NP school is second rate to NP school? It is true that at the present time experienced CRNA's earn double the income (and that could very well change over time especially if NP's...

    Roland replied to Roland's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You may also note that it indicates that the use of these four drugs post MI is ALREADY a reccomendation of the American College of Cardiology AND the American Heart Association! This study was...

  8. On the Trail of Black Death - Was it a Virus??

    Roland replied to gwenith's topic in General Nursing

    Personally I believe that in order to have the kind of virulence and penetration that the Black Death exhibited, it MUST have been a

  9. Physician Hostility

    Roland replied to blake's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    That's some really good stuff and will take some time to really digest. Also, PAC-DO the Law of Diminishing Returns is also relevent to your post. How many patients per thousand presenting in an...

    Roland replied to Roland's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The article for the four drug combo came from http://www.sciencedaily.com . The original press release came from the University of Michigan and can be found here...

  11. Physician Hostility

    Roland replied to blake's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Honest research implies studies conducted without obvious bias. In something so controversial as NP's verses M.D.'s I do not believe that this sort of research is likely to occur without a...

  12. Physician Hostility

    Roland replied to blake's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It wouldn't surprise me if those "oriental guys" wouldn't just come out and say "look giving a license to practice acupuncture to people who take less than ten percent of our training threatens our...

  13. How does one go about getting the Study Guide which goes with Harrison's Principles..

    Roland posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    of Internal Medicine? When I was younger my uncle used to buy them for me every couple of years along with the main text (he was a GP). However, he has passed away, and the last one that I have goes...

  14. Why does Pennsylvania seem to have so many more CRNA schools than any other state and

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

    That's a really nice thing to say! However, I suspect that if you "saw me there" and told anyone else that my tenure as a SRNA would be short indeed. It wouldn't surprise me if CRNA's schools are...

  15. Physician Hostility

    Roland replied to blake's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It would be interesting to see a study that examined patient outcomes as defined by morbidity and mortality among patients admitted to acute care facilities with similar diagnoses over a wide...

    Roland replied to Roland's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thank you, Thank you Thank you. Now I know what I want for my birthday next

  17. CRNA reject... NP school here we come?

    Roland replied to TMnurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    One interesting question is why? Why don't nursing organizations do a better job a coordinating and cooperating on issues that would benefit everyone within the profession? My paranoid mind at first...

  18. IF for some reason you COULDN'T be a CRNA what area of nursing...

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

    I can appreciate what you're saying. However, isn't there some sport in trying to learn your Harrison's, and other medical information better than the best doctor? I realize that there is much not...

  19. CRNA reject... NP school here we come?

    Roland replied to TMnurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    In other words CRNA's and NP's are both a sub catagory of advanced practice nurses? What is the significance of this relationship from a historical and legislative perspective? In any case, it is in...

  20. Physician Hostility

    Roland replied to blake's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hap, and PAC does that mean that if NP programs added another thirty hours or so in additional classes such as gross anatomy, and advanced, advanced (since many already have advanced patho)...

  21. CRNA reject... NP school here we come?

    Roland replied to TMnurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    TMnurse, are not CRNA's actually considered an NP sub-specialty in many states? In addition, are not both areas involved with patient care? It would be like saying that becoming an MDA has nothing...

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

    Thanks, for the link I count ELEVEN CRNA programs in Penn. That's three more than I knew about. In addition, the University of Penn. is a state school and should offer an in-state rate (and possibly...

  23. Why does Pennsylvania seem to have so many more CRNA schools than any other state and

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

    If we moved to Pennsylvania we would probably only apply to Penn. schools (hence the potential reduction in travel for interviews). Also, I once asked a question similar to this over a year ago and...

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

    I'm thinking more and more that my "fall back" plan might be to get a family nurse practitioner designation and start a cash only walk in clinic (which would accept payments and charge a sliding scale...

  25. After Graduation...where does everyone go?

    Roland replied to calgal's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    So what are the "dead areas" for CRNA's and perhaps more importantly HOW did they evolve (or perhaps they were always that way in the first place)? Are MDA's implementing some largely silent,...
