  8. Not happy in the ICU - would I like CRNA?

    stanman1968 replied to raininghere's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    stanman1968 replied to paindoc's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    The basic injections learned at a 2 day course, wow a lot of training. I just am tired of hearing of unqualified CRNA's. The most unqualified are the doctors attending these courses and then...

    stanman1968 replied to paindoc's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    stanman1968 replied to paindoc's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA
