  1. *******SUPERVISION REQUIRED or NO for CRNAs?*******

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

    LPN Maybe you don't understand CRNA practice. We practice according to the laws of the state in which we practice. In all states, nursing is a separate function from the practice of medicine. We...

  2. *******SUPERVISION REQUIRED or NO for CRNAs?*******

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

  3. CRNA career cons

    yoga crna replied to fl1picc's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  4. *******SUPERVISION REQUIRED or NO for CRNAs?*******

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

    NO, NO, NO, THERE ARE NO STATES THAT REQUIRE CRNA SUPERVISION BY ANESTHESIOLOGISTS. Also, in my opinion, it is never going to happen. Each state licenses and regulates practice for that state, so...

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

  6. CRNA vs. Politics

    yoga crna replied to MrRacer98's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Jeremy, If you ask a question, you must be prepared for the answer. Nurse anesthetists mentor their young better than most professions and we are always looking for people we think would be good...

  7. CRNA vs. Politics

    yoga crna replied to MrRacer98's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    You are not required to get involved with politics. Instead I make the following requests of you when you become a CRNA. 1. You must never complain about what the AANA has or has not done for you...

  8. DOCTORATE for CRNA's?

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

    Mike, I am sure you feel like I do--I have had it with people who try to define us or our practice. There is so much misinformation out there and it continues to escalate. In my small way I try to...

  9. Reading, crossword puzzles, etc while administering anesthetics

    yoga crna replied to 22380's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    The CO2 line actually was kinked where the tubing comes off the hub. One of the surgeons was leaning on the circuit and line. The reading on the monitor was "line blocked".

  10. DOCTORATE for CRNA's?

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

    Mike, I did not read the previous post and apologize for responding to your comments without the total picture. That being said, it is important to understand that opt-out is a Medicare reimbursement...

  11. Reading, crossword puzzles, etc while administering anesthetics

    yoga crna replied to 22380's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    When I administer anesthesia I am always attentive to the patient, the monitors, the surgery and the OR. I get up and move around the OR, eat my lunch by the door and clean up/set up for the next...

  12. DOCTORATE for CRNA's?

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

    mike you are mistaken. there are many states that permit crnas independent practice. check the aana website. we need to get our own facts correct.

  13. TX CRNA's made me look at nursing as an option

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

    Nursing has a history of eating their young. We try not to do that in anesthesia. I have always encouraged bright nurses to consider anesthesia and have enjoyed mentoring the new grads. Everyone,...

  15. Patient with awareness

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

    Again, I don't have an answer for you, however this discussion is useful in pointing out several relevant issues. First, the anesthesiologist was sloppy in preparing the anesthesia record and...

  16. Patient with awareness

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

    Mana, I am sorry that you had recall and hope that you will receive the answers you are seeking. Recall is very rare in anesthesia, but it does receive a lot of press when it happens because it can be...

  17. Patient with awareness

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

    There are a lot of reasons for recall, most of which are related to the anesthesia vaporizer being empty or not being turned on. The patient's heart rate may show a response to pain and is one of the...

  18. ***Will the future of CRNAs remain like this???

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

    RT I know a lot about CRNA income (not all of us are salaried) and also about health care economics. CRNA income is a function of supply and demand, consistent with market forces. Income is also...

  19. Propofol

    yoga crna replied to czipp's topic in Gastroenterology

    I'll make a deal with all of you GI nurses who think they know enough to administer propofol. I won't do GI nursing, if you won't do anesthesia. Even though I am trainable, I have limited knowledge...

  20. Day in the life

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

    I practice for a surgeon is considered one of the top five in the world. Most of our patients are plastic surgeons or their families. Nine hours is a little on the long side, but he is known for his...

  21. Day in the life

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

    One thing I love about my practice is that I have control over how it is done and there is no rush to get the patient to recovery. I keep the patient in the OR until they are awake, have all their...

  22. Day in the life

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

    Until now, you have heard only from students. I am a CRNA and have an independent practice in an office surgery setting. As an aside, I also am the administrator and president of the corporation...

  23. CRNA Induction Sequence List

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

    I think the real standard is constant monitoring of the patient. Anything less is below standard. How that monitoring is done should be up to the practitioner and the surgical circumstances. Once...

  24. research/teaching as a CRNA

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

  25. CRNA Induction Sequence List

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