  6. AA vs. CRNA - Let's Discuss.

    New CCU RN replied to warzone's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Warzone, if you read what I wrote related to that quote, I did take the time to see where it was from. And I said, you need to consider the source of the quote before taking it seriously. As far as...

  7. AA vs. CRNA - Let's Discuss.

    New CCU RN replied to warzone's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I never said that my argument is based upon not wanting AA's to take CRNA's jobs. Nor is there a problem with seeing the argument from all sides. AA's bring another anethesia provider to a shortage,...

    New CCU RN replied to Skrawberri's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Skrawberri, I did not mean to sound harsh in my earlier posting, I just interpreted your motivations to be based on the $$$$. That is at least the way your posting seemed. Everyone has gone into...

  12. AA vs. CRNA - Let's Discuss.

    New CCU RN replied to warzone's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Except that the practice of nurse anethesia has been tried and proven true. There are so many studies out there indicating that CRNA and MDA patient outcomes are the same. In addition: an AA's...

  13. MONEY FOR SCHOOL: Anesthesia Group or Hospital Sponsorship

    New CCU RN replied to wannabe gasser's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Also agreeing that your offer does not sound all that great. I would do it the hard way, take out some loans, it is only 2-3 years of living like a poor grad student. (20k probably isnt even enough...

  14. AA vs. CRNA - Let's Discuss.

    New CCU RN replied to warzone's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    There is a shortage of all different health care positions, so I am sure that the AA will fall into place in some ways. Will the AA become anywhere equivalent to the scope of practice of a CRNA...I...

    New CCU RN replied to RNforLongTime's topic in Neuro Intensive Care, ICU

    New CCU RN replied to warzone's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    The CRNA was around before an MDA actually. Anethesia has always been a nursing specialty. Like I said earlier, it would benefit you to look into the history of nurse anethesia. Economically,...

  24. IV Push Lopressor on a Med-Surg Unit??

    New CCU RN replied to LuvMedSurgNsg's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Scary. It sounds like the management of that pt's medical issues (doctor's fault), was not so great. He really ought to be on a Nitroprusside gtt or some other means to control a pressure like...

    New CCU RN replied to plumrn's topic in General Nursing

    I don't work M/S but, perhaps if your charge didn't take an assigment, they could be in charge of discharges?? Don't know if that would work? Or you have a posted policy that d/c don't start until...
