  2. Ketamine

    yoga crna replied to Uptoherern's topic in Emergency

    I have been invited to post a response in this forum because I am both a CRNA and a JD. I really don't care in what state or what your hospital policy states, I think an RN who is not a CRNA should...

  3. OR Nurses Giving Conscious Sedation--WHY SHOULD WE?

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

    Jacala, You have proved my argument that you have limited knowledge or ability to administer conscious sedation. I can't believe that you reverse all patients, whether or not they need it. As...

  4. the future of CRNA's

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

    Roland, The turf wars will always be there, because anesthesia is the only field of medicine where physicians and nurses do essentially the same functions. When I started anesthesia, in the dark...

  5. torn between law or CRNA

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

  7. Socialized medicine, and the future of CRNAs

    yoga crna replied to user69's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    It is my impression from speaking to a number of surgeons from Canada that a large amount of the anesthetics performed in Canada is by physician G.P.'s, with anesthesiologists in only the major...

  8. OR Nurses Giving Conscious Sedation--WHY SHOULD WE?

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

    I am always amused and somewhat dismayed when I read information on this topic. It is my belief that nurses (non-anesthetists) who administer sedation ordered by surgeons and other physicians are...

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

    There is a good fiction book written by a CRNA about her experiences in Viet Nam. I am having problems remembering the name of the book or the author. I will see if I can find it. Maybe someone...

  15. what are "the sciences"

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

    i like to think of science that is necessary to study anesthesia as the "hard" sciences, such as chemistry, physics, anatomy, physiology, etc. Biochemistry is one of the most important subjects to...

  16. few ??'s for CRNA's

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

    If you have a problem with boredom, anesthesia may not be your field. Long cases in which the patient is doing well can be boring, but that is good, not bad. I get bored listening the the same jokes...

  17. At what age does an average CRNA retire?

    yoga crna replied to rhp123's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

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

    Whether or not you love anesthesia depends upon your expectations, your honest reasons for wanting to be a CRNA and your commitment to being a professional. I had no idea what I was getting into when...

  19. Ethical/Legal question

    yoga crna replied to Sis123's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    If I were her, I would write a letter to the hospital administrator with copies to the head of the medical staff and anesthesia departments. I would also send the letter to the ASA and the State...

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

  23. HELP: Sedation RNs

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

    I'm sorry, but I wouldn't volunteer the information, nor would I lie if I were asked. I personally don't think that is a positive to admit you were doing something that may not be legal and is, in my...

    yoga crna replied to Sis123's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    It is both illegal and unethical. The patient could sue for civil (as opposed to criminal) battery as well as negligence if she had an adverse reaction to the versed. There are plenty of other...
