  1. CRNA Programs in New England for Non-nursing majors?

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

    The most direct source of information on accredited nurse anesthesia programs can be found on the AANA website, http://www.aana.com. Look for the link to "accredited programs" and search by state....

  2. New edition of Miller bashes CRNAs

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

    As you can see, this issue is well known to the experienced CRNA community. For the CRNA rebuttal to this research spin, see the AANA website at http://www.aana.com/crna/prof/quality.asp There are...

  3. Last Words before Induction.......

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

    I must be completely out of the loop on this. I have never heard or noticed this phenomena! Has anyone seen this documented in the literature? If so, I have missed it and would be interested in a...

  4. Regional Anesthesia

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

    I sent you a PM. {playing by the TOS rules ;-) loisane

  5. Regional Anesthesia

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

    Nurse anesthesia programs throughout the country have been facing this issue for awhile. While it is frustrating to have to go to multiple sites to get these experiences, you could look at it from an...

  6. *******SUPERVISION REQUIRED or NO for CRNAs?*******

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

    That certianly is a dilemma! I have not encountered such language before. I am only familiar with a handful of NPAs, but none of them specify the detail of physician involvement than this one does....

  7. *******SUPERVISION REQUIRED or NO for CRNAs?*******

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

    I agree with the earlier answer from Brenna's dad. You do not want documentation of "discussion of anesthesia with a MD". The physician of record only opens themselves up for liability of anesthesia...

  8. *******SUPERVISION REQUIRED or NO for CRNAs?*******

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

    I know I am joining this thread a bit late, and much good discussion has already been covered. I'd like to offer a couple additional points. LPN, you may have heard the term "professional nurse", as...

  9. Physical Requirements of CRNA

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

    What about NICU? I know from this board that some programs do not consider it good preparation. OTOH, I know of some programs who value it as experience. NICU nurses do well on boards. Some...

  10. Doctor of Nursing Science - On-line

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

    Hmmm-I hope you won't think I am too evasive if I limit my answer to saying, yes I chose one of the programs you list. The DNP is a clinical doctorate, the type all the discussion is about regarding...

  11. Doctor of Nursing Science - On-line

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

    Tim, I hear you say you are going into this with your eyes open. But it is very hard for me to accept the idea of doing all the work required for a research doctorate, and getting what seems to be a...

  12. DOCTORATE for CRNA's?

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

    This might be the crux of our disagreement. I acknowledge that many nurses value clinical education more highly than academics, especially in theory and research. I do not consider these things, or...

  13. DOCTORATE for CRNA's?

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

    Your numbers are a little off. A bachelor's is still a four year degree. The minimum experience is one year. The DNP program is 3 years. More like a total of 8 years post high school. I think...

  14. CRNA vs. Politics

    loisane replied to MrRacer98's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I can't believe I missed an opportunity to (again) recommend this book. I must be slipping! Absolutely must reading for everyone interested in nurse anesthesia. Reading this book is a most excellent...

  15. CRNA vs. Politics

    loisane replied to MrRacer98's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Wow, your post stimulates some very mixed emotions from me! As a simple straight forward answer-no, nobody is going to force your active professional involvement as a CRNA. The sad truth is that many...

  16. After You Finish Anesthesia School

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

    Most excellent post, CRNA DNSc!!!!!!!!!!! I'll give you new grads a year, but DNSc is right, it is very easy for that single year to expand into several years. So, yep, if you're in my state, I'll...

  17. Excelsior Degree and CRNA Grad Schools...

    loisane replied to MrRacer98's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Nursenut, I was hoping you would get a response from someone who has applied to anesthesia school, with a degree from Excelsior. Very few responses of this nature so far. I wonder if the lack of...

  18. Patient with awareness

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

    I was afraid it would sound like I was trying to beat you over the head. I am sorry that my post did not convey the sincere kindness with which it was offered. I am not in favor of limiting these...

  19. Patient with awareness

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

    I have been trying to come up with a way to help Dutchgirl see the big picture here. In the meantime, others have done well, so perhaps enough has been said. I hope I do not risk being overbearing...

  20. DOCTORATE for CRNA's?

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

    Thanks for the clarification, although I have heard much about your program, it is hard to keep track of specifics. I would expect that non-nursing clinical doctorates will be developed. I think it...

  21. CRNA specialization

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

    Well, not being a physician, I don't know if I am the best qualified to comment on how the profession of medicine works. Maybe I misunderstood your question. I thought you were asking "After I...

  22. Patient with awareness

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

    Mana, anesthesia professionals are sometimes accountable for awareness and sometimes not. That is because sometimes it is due to negligence and bad practice, but many times it occurs when there is no...

  23. Patient with awareness

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

    I think Kevin's description of our state of knowledge regarding awareness, BIS, Aspect and its marketing are dead on. I think his expressed opinion is shared by many (maybe most) anesthesia...

  24. Excelsior Degree and CRNA Grad Schools...

    loisane replied to MrRacer98's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I think the poster is asking about how a degree from Excelsior will be viewed by nurse anesthesia program admission committees in regard to acceptance. The question is not about the Excelsior...

  25. CRNA specialization

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

    The reason you cannot find much about fellowships is because they are very new in nurse anesthesia. We are just beginning to develop these in selected sub-specialty areas. At present, there is no...
