  1. CRNA vs Med school, tough decision, heres my story

    u-r-sleeepy replied to Crossfit SRNA2b's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'm not surprised the plastic surgeon encouraged you to consider becoming a CRNA. I am a practicing CRNA of (almost) 5 years now and I can't tell you how grateful I am for the decision I made to...

  2. What one message about CRNA's do you wish the public "got".

    u-r-sleeepy replied to Roland's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Hhhmmm... not sure of your background here, but I would venture that only SOME of the MDAs "...perform almost equally well" as CRNAs! I work with one MDA currently who is absolutely TERRIFIED of...

  3. 13 more shifts until I become a SRNA!

    u-r-sleeepy replied to jenniek's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Hahahahaha!!!!!!!!! Oh my - I am still laughing about this one - hahaha!!! "...placing my head..." I had forgotten about that feeling and you brought it all back to me - how many years back now....

  4. What one message about CRNA's do you wish the public "got".

    u-r-sleeepy replied to Roland's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Hhmmm... I think you have a little "homework" to do regarding your understanding of medical billing being "different" in most situations for CRNAs vs. MDAs/DOAs. Still, it is absolutely true that it...

  5. my laptop, in hindsight

    u-r-sleeepy replied to alansmith52's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    PS - If you really want one of these but the money is discouraging you, you can try their online apple store and go to the "refurbished" section. I don't know if this link will work...

    u-r-sleeepy replied to alansmith52's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Where do we start? (and this from a long-time "pee-cee" user myself) - ease of use (no "computer tech" skills required here) - reliability of both hardware and operating system (near-bullet-proof...

  9. Alternate List

    u-r-sleeepy replied to rn4cicu's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I remember two of my classmates who were on the alternatives list and both got in without having to wait a year. Good luck!

  11. Pain Management CRNA

    u-r-sleeepy replied to TejasDoc's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    ...because you BIG DUMMY! - That might get some of the doc$' undies in a bundle! You can't have little CRNAs trying to get off the ACT "plantation" now, can you? The next thing you know - they're...

  13. Travel CRNA opportunities for new grads-Realistic?

    u-r-sleeepy replied to allapeyre's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I'm just playing "catch up" again - Perhaps TejasDoc really does understand the hypocrisy of his (A$A's) position of trying to convince us of just how important it is to have their $upervi$ion during...

  15. Interesting - new "bedside manners" test for med students -

    u-r-sleeepy posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    This is not an attempt to "stir the pot". I find myself thinking about the philosophical and practical differences between a doctor's approach vs that of a nurse's approach to patient care. I think...

  16. Interesting - new "bedside manners" test for med students -

    u-r-sleeepy replied to u-r-sleeepy's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I personally think that this test will only add to the hassle without producing any identifiable benefits. While you can teach communication skills, I believe the way to produce physicians who...

  17. CRNA's in Hawaii

    u-r-sleeepy replied to richard13's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Interesting post - two things stand out to me: 1 - the possible ostracizing of CRNAs by MDAs - should we be surprised at this? Are there any CRNAs "allowed to practice" in "the beautiful areas" like...

  18. Doctors' malpractice insurance costs!!!!

    u-r-sleeepy posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I wanted to post this article here to spark some thought and discussion about the subject matter. If some of your feel this forum isn't a good place for this kind of topic (since so many here are not...

    u-r-sleeepy replied to richard13's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    You'll see ads for Tripler & Straub sometimes. The pay isn't the greatest, but you get to "live in paradise" if you can make it work out there. :) It is beautiful, but there are drawbacks too....

  20. Doctors' malpractice insurance costs!!!!

    u-r-sleeepy replied to u-r-sleeepy's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Thanks for your reply. Still, don't you think it is pathetic and tragic that a neurosurgeon would "take home" $47k after a year of service? That should be a CRIME in America!!!!! I hope he did...

  21. contract for tuition reimbursement

    u-r-sleeepy replied to jdbcho's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Two of the things which Kevin mentioned are very important - you should ALWAYS include the specific details of a "bail out clause" and have an attorney go over it. The $50 - $150 you spend on having...

  22. contract for tuition reimbursement

    u-r-sleeepy replied to jdbcho's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I mean no disrespect to you "wilsonmd71" or anyone else like you, but PLEASE!!! - could you NOT post things that have no bearing on CRNA related financial matters? I don't mean this to be offensive...

  23. Anesthesia Paper Ideas

    u-r-sleeepy replied to TraumaNurse's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Hehehehehe!!! I like that thought. :) Perhaps you could do some sort of a "cost comparison" for producing MDAs vs CRNAs? There's plenty to explore there. Here's a quote from another CRNA on how...

  24. Anesthesia Paper Ideas

    u-r-sleeepy replied to TraumaNurse's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Non-clinical? How about the malpractice insurance crisis currently at play in our medical system? :) There is a lot to write about if you're interested. Just a thought -

  25. New Grad interested in CRNA

    u-r-sleeepy replied to TennRN2004's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Hahahahaha!!! Sounds like you might know just which school I'm talking about??? :uhoh21: Then again - maybe not?
