  1. I hope I'm not the only one!

    duckboy20 replied to bookworm's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I will owe approx 100K when I graduate as well. Sucks, but I plan to pay it off fairly

  3. Pain Management CRNA

    duckboy20 replied to TejasDoc's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I think doing pain management would be something interesting to do. I feel for the pain doc's however who are burdened not only with people who actually have pain but those who like the medicine. Man,...

  4. Roll Call for the Class of 2006

    duckboy20 replied to versatile_kat's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Congrats to everyone on this thread who will be starting school. I must throw a shout out to those starting TWU!! Good luck to you

  5. Interesting - new "bedside manners" test for med students -

    duckboy20 replied to u-r-sleeepy's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    This test is not really going to mean a thing. Sure they may 'sweat' taking the test. But how many will actually fail it? I mean good bedside manner is not a hard thing to do. Especially to pass one...

  6. For Potential CRNA's Who Are Married or Have Significant Others

    duckboy20 replied to kmchugh's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    What I liked was on our first day of orientation in the program they pulled all the spouses/loved ones to another room and had prior students talk to them about the stress it has on relationships....

  7. SRNA drop out rates

    duckboy20 replied to FLCRNA2B's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I too would concur with the 10% dropout/failout rate. I attend one of the larger programs and it holds true with us as well. I would disagree that larger programs accept a lot and then try to weed...

  8. Religion's Place in Nursing

    duckboy20 replied to CHIRN's topic in General Nursing

    I totally agree with that, there is a big difference between the

  9. Why is it MEN seem to get along better in this field than WOMEN??!!!

    duckboy20 replied to 1BlessedRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think that most women seem to carry their emotions on their shoulders all the time. Men, at least I find it with myself, tend to let most stuff go in one ear and out the other. Women are more in...

  10. Time off Before School Starts

    duckboy20 replied to CRNAStudent's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Yeah, hostels are the way to go. My brother is taking a group of his high school students to Europe in a couple weeks for 18 days. They are staying at hostels the entire time for really cheap....

  11. graduate classes prior to applying

    duckboy20 replied to meg228's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    CCRN-Critical Care Registered Nurse, you take a very hard computerized exam testing you on your knowledge of a critical care nurse. TNCC I believe is Trauma Nurse Core Curriculum, something to that...

  12. Time off Before School Starts

    duckboy20 replied to CRNAStudent's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Take at least 2 weeks off! You will need this time to build up energy for the fall semester!!!! Good Luck! Where are you

  13. Here's what AAs really think of CRNAs

    duckboy20 replied to Athlein1's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Georgia AA- This is where I see a problem with this statement. Apparently somebody sees a difference between AA's and CRNA's even if you don't. Otherwise you would be able to work independant of an...

  14. Here's what AAs really think of CRNAs

    duckboy20 replied to Athlein1's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Its funny to me. Some AA's seem to feel like they provide very good anesthestic care, which they might do. All us CRNA's seem to feel like we provide quality anesthetic care, which we hopefully do. At...

    duckboy20 replied to Athlein1's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Nice link Deepz to that article about the Military

  16. Here's what AAs really think of CRNAs

    duckboy20 replied to Athlein1's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I am sure you work "together in the OR room" but I would bet that the MDA is laughing his butt off all the way back to his comfy chair while he is living the good life off of you. Don't mean that just...

  17. Here's what AAs really think of CRNAs

    duckboy20 replied to Athlein1's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I agree that there does need to be a study regarding MDA's giving anesthetics, CRNA's solely giving anesthetics not under the direction of an MDA, CRNA's with MDA's, and MDA's with AA's. Needs to see...

  18. Here's what AAs really think of CRNAs

    duckboy20 replied to Athlein1's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    This doesn't completely have to do with AA's, but for anyone thinking that the CRNA/MD fight is due to CRNA's, look at this thread, https://allnurses.com/forums/showthread.php?t=17140 Hope it works,...

  19. Here's what AAs really think of CRNAs

    duckboy20 replied to Athlein1's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    It might be me but I don't see all the hoorah about people thinking MD's being better at anesthesiology. This is in regards to a few previous posters comments. If it weren't for nurses, the art of...

  20. Here's what AAs really think of CRNAs

    duckboy20 replied to Athlein1's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    This is a bill passed in Ohio regarding AA's and what they can do: Ohio Legislative Service Commission 123rd Senate Bill Analysis In an individual's practice as an anesthesiologist assistant, the bill...

  21. Here's what AAs really think of CRNAs

    duckboy20 replied to Athlein1's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I am curious as to what education AA's must have to practice. I may have missed this info in an earlier post but don't think so. What kinds of didactics and length of clinicals must they have to...

  22. Voice Recorders?

    duckboy20 replied to Sherpa RN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I used just a cheap voice recorder that used tapes, many people in my class loved the digital cause they could download it to computer and burn it on to cd's. That came in handy for long drives. I...

  24. 4 months out --prep for CRNA School

    duckboy20 replied to DIVER CRNA's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I would relax and rest before you start because you are right, once you start there really is no break. Good

    Probably put on the leg to help out with circulation. It is a venodilator, does the patient have circ problems in the
