  1. GI Diprivan thread

    yoga crna replied to rn29306's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    This is a very interesting abstract about propofol. I wouldn't be surprised if the FDA looks closely at it and changes the guidelines for its use. For everyone who thinks this is a safe drug, please...

  2. Shoe Suggestions and Earpiece Thoughts.....

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

    You have got to be kidding about not sitting. I was taught the opposite--sit for inductions, look relaxed and in control. Now, I sit, I stand, I do Yoga, when I am comfortable it is better for the...

  3. Propofol

    yoga crna replied to czipp's topic in Gastroenterology

    My, my, why all of the hostility? Could it be that I have hit a few raw nerves? I don't need job security, I am doing well. I also promote very vigorously the nursing profession and have great...

  4. Propofol

    yoga crna replied to czipp's topic in Gastroenterology

    Did it ever occur to you that the best clinicians are the ones who use "book education" as a basis for clinical practice. Not only do I know how to do things, I know WHY and the scientific basis for...

  5. Propofol

    yoga crna replied to czipp's topic in Gastroenterology

    Medic, Your lack of knowledge of pharmacology is frightening. A drug is not just a drug. I studied pharmacology at a medical school as part of my anesthesia degree. Until you understand...

  6. Respect?

    yoga crna replied to shirleyTX's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Respect is earned on a daily basis and is a two-way process. When you are excellent at what you do, self-confident, but not arrogant and open to new ideas, you will find respect is there. If you...

  7. Less than optimum anesthesia?

    yoga crna replied to UCDSICURN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    My first comment is--I am so happy that I don't work in a situation where incident reports are used. Particularly incident reports on clinical issues where the party completing it has little...

  8. Wondering about work schedule

    yoga crna replied to Half-life's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    It depends on the type of practice you have. Those CRNAs in solo practices work whenever they are needed. Bigger hospitals have shifts and on-call arrangements. The important thing to remember is...

  9. Assignment help please!!

    yoga crna replied to RN2Bin05's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Every anesthetic must be tailored to each patient's needs, according to their medical history, medications, anesthesia history and the surgical procedure. A quick physical exam will give you...

  10. Propofol

    yoga crna replied to czipp's topic in Gastroenterology

    I agree. Just yesterday, I had an asthmatic patient have a bronchospasm with a test dose of propofol. It was scary for all of us, including the patient. She did all right. Propofol is a potent...

  11. CRNAs working with surgeons

    yoga crna replied to apaisRN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I have have been blessed to work with excellent and internationally respected surgeons throughout my long career and one thing I am clear on is--the best surgeons are the nicest and easiest to work...

  12. Nurse Owned and Nurse Run Surgery Center

    yoga crna posted a topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    I have just become the sole owner of an ambulatory surgery center. it is a long story how this came about, but in a few words, I have been a CRNA independent contractor there for years and the...

  13. What do they do?

    yoga crna replied to zlip14's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Of course CRNAs do cases, but I do agree that a lot depends on the practice setting. I am independent practice in an office setting where I determine my own fees and do my own cases. How much I make...

  14. opinion on clinical practice

    yoga crna replied to gaspassah's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I have always ventilated before paralysis. There are several reasons that you nicely stated, but the one that I have seen most often, is that for some reason the breathing circuit is not intact, the...

  15. Washington, D.C. CRNAS

    yoga crna replied to pnurseuwm's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Many hospitals in DC and surrounding area have CRNAs. Get a list of the hospitals, write a nice professional letter to the anesthesia departments and see what is available. Be sure to look at...

  16. CRNA forums

    yoga crna replied to pnurseuwm's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    The best one is To join you must be an AANA member or student member. There are some others also. Check and look under CRNA Talk.

  17. CRNA Salary Survey

    yoga crna replied to salvati08's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    The AANA does a salary survey every year and that information is available. I am curious as to why you want that information. Perhaps I am a little paranoid, but my income is my business (and the...

  18. Laryngospasm question

    yoga crna replied to TraumaNurse's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    athomas, I do the technique when I need to, I just didn't know it had a name. I guess I better hit the books and try to catch up with the students on this board.

  19. Laryngospasm question

    yoga crna replied to TraumaNurse's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    What and where is the laryngospasm notch? I like to pull up at the angles of the jaw to stimulate the patient, which may or may not help with the spasm. Positive pressure ventilation with high...

  20. MD referring to CRNA as 'support staff'

    yoga crna replied to kestrel1121's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Dixie, Obviously, you are not a CRNA or in an anesthesia educational program. Anesthesia is different!!!. We practice independently, make our own decisions, there are no written orders,...

  21. MD referring to CRNA as 'support staff'

    yoga crna replied to kestrel1121's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Go to Sleepy, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE do not use the word "Supervise" when dealing with CRNAs. Supervision is for students, not for CRNAs. The wording "medical direction" is also a misnomer, but it...

    yoga crna replied to alansmith52's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA
