  1. Comparing Wages in the OR setting

    yoga crna replied to dmclung's topic in Operating Room

    In our ASC (plastic surgery), we have all RNs and pay them $33.00 per hour without benefits. They all freelance in the area and are in high demand. They all scrub, circulate and do recovery. We are...

  2. just a thought?!?!?

    yoga crna replied to athomas91's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Humility happens in anesthesia, but so does satisfaction, self-confidence and good feelings. I love making it look easy, but being able to keep cool when everything around you is turning sour, and...

  3. Crna = Mda?!

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

    Most AA's work for MD anesthesia groups and are paid a salary by them. Unlike CRNAs they are not legally able to practice independently. As an independently practicing CRNA and a business person, I...

  4. Crna = Mda?!

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

    Sorry guys, we will never just get along. Both groups will be practicing in this country and crnas will be seen all over the world. The reason is ECONOMICS. Don't forget that--this country is...

  5. Antacids

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

    I have a routine that I use on most of my patients having general anesthesia or deep sedation. It is reglan 10 mg and Zantac 150 mg po with a sip of water about 30 minutes prior to induction. It...

  6. Samuel Merrit College and everone out there(Read me) What do you think? Am I worthy?

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

    Your profile looks good. If I were on the admitting committee, there are two questions I would ask: (1) can you afford to go through the program without working. I know Samuel Merritt is expensive...

  7. just a thought?!?!?

    yoga crna replied to athomas91's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Get used to it--clinical anesthesia is very humbling. A patient may not respond to medications the way you anticpate--you adapt. A surgeon is having a fight with his/her partner, wife, secretary,...

  8. would a biochemistry degree help me become a CRNA

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

    I am no longer an educator, but I think a biochemistry degree would place you in a strong competitive position. The more science you have the better. Also biochemistry is very useful for the...

  9. ethical dilemma

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

    Old-gas is a yahoo group that is open only to AANA members and students. I am not sure, but you may be able to read only and not post by going to yahoo groups. Having read all of the posts here and...

  10. ethical dilemma

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

    The issue was also posted on old-gas and every CRNA who commented believes the student should be reported and hopefully will not be permitted to become a

  11. Study: 100 patients a day in USA wake up during surgery

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

    As far as I am concerned, it is a marketing tool by the Aspect Company to sell BIS monitors. I watch my patients and equipment very closely and in 43 years have never had a patient complain of...

  12. ethical dilemma

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

    The important question is whether or not this person should remain in school and be permitted to become a CRNA. As a member of this wonderful profession and as one who has given much to it, I do not...

  13. Foley Position

    yoga crna replied to QUEENIERN's topic in Operating Room

    Take it easy on the CRNA. He has a lot more responsibility/liablity for complications than you do. If you don't believe me, I will be happy to refer you to a recent Kansas case where a patient...

  14. Surgical Instrument Information

    yoga crna replied to rnmomof1's topic in Operating Room

    Try instrument catalogs. They have a wealth of information. See if you can borrow one and study it at

  15. is being a crna a boring job ???

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

    I love being bored when administering anesthesia--it means everything is going well, the patient is pain free and vital signs stable. There are many moments when I wish I was bored --when I can't...

  16. CRNAs in doctors/dentist offices.....

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

    If you go to the AANA website, you should be able to find the statistics on practice areas. I do know that office surgery is the fastest growing section of surgery. I have practice in an office...

  17. BIS Monitors

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

    I don't need a monitor to tell me when the patient is moving, everyone in the operating room thinks it is their god-given duty to tell me. Of course I am being facetious, but in my practice a BIS...

  18. Propofol

    yoga crna replied to czipp's topic in Gastroenterology

    If you want to administer propofol, go to anesthesia school. It is is a potent anesthetic that can cause cardiac depression, hypotension, respiratory depression and loss of a protective airway. I...

  19. All SRNA's: Have you bitten your tongues in half?

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

    Loisanne, You stated it perfectly. Like you, it has been a long time since I was a student, but I remember how difficult it was with some clinical instructors. The important message is that it...

  20. Helpful software.

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

    It has been a long time since I was a student, but do use a computer all the time in my CRNA practice. Every anesthesia case I have done since being in private practice is on the great database...

  21. futurenurseanesthetist

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

    I have hesitated about getting involved in this rather stupid discussion, but I will put in a few words. My perception of Angels first post was that she was looking at anesthesia as an easy route to...

  22. Question for CRNAs and SRNAs

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

    You guys are on the right track. Anesthesia is hard, but it is also fun and very satisfying. Keep learning and you will make good CRNAs.

  23. Question for CRNAs and SRNAs

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

    Angela, Your frustration with bedside nursing is obvious and I applaud your recognition of the need to get away from it. I have not been a bedside nurse for years and wouldn't begin to equate my...

  24. CRNA's in the future...

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

    Who knows how much money CRNAs will make in the future. Health care economics is the key and without a crystal ball it is impossible to predict. I do know a little about economics and understand the...

  25. New CRNA vs. MDA and Patient outcome study

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

    Tenesma, your comments reflect the fact that you are an M.D. anesthesiologist, something that you should disclose on your posts. The CDC has stated many years ago that there is no necessity for a...
