  1. Mandatory Flu Vaccines- How do you feel?

    Also, informed consent and full disclosure goes out the window! We are not fully informed. That is why medicine is science. It is a "practice". We need to stand up for what our conscience and...
  2. Mandatory Flu Vaccines- How do you feel?

    I have been a nurse since 1998. I became a CRNA in 2006. Recently, I have lost a job due to refusal of the flu vaccine. My mother was vaccinated in December 2010. She became terribly exhausted. This...
  3. I feel exactly the same. I have been a CRNA since 2006. I am miserable at my current job. My prior job was great. I had tons of autonomy. I left the job that I loved to move back home, closer to my...
  4. Nurses with ADD/ADHD?

    I am a nurse anesthetist with ADD. Many may wonder how I got so far. I only have two words: discipline and determination. I was diagnosed last week. As a child, I would never sit still and always...
  5. Hey! I thought I had come across something of the sort, but I don't know where or how to get it. I just did a search on the net with no luck. Let me know if you find anything.......
  6. Sigma Theta Tau

    I received my BSN from the University of Delaware. I am now @ SRNA @ Drexel University. I'll be finished in May. I am in the Sigma Theta Tau Group. I had asked my advisor the same question that you...
  7. I'm going to bluntly honest..........Show me the money and I'll be back in school! I honestly doubt that we will see any salary increase. And for all of those who strive for more letters after your...
  8. Think about it. What is the average time period between ripping the cuff and extubation?...Seconds. Will all of the air diffuse out of that small lumen between the cuff itself and the syringe...
  9. I can only imagine what my clinical experience will involve. I will begin clinical in January, but I am taking online classes to get them out of the way. Advanced Physiology is interesting, but I...
  10. During labor, I experienced the same thing. I was shaking/shivering uncontrollably, but I was not cold. This was during labor, but before the epidural. What is the pathophysiology behind this? Does it...
  11. Thanks for you time in replying.
  12. I chose nursing anesthesia because it is the best APN field when you're always "getting your hands dirty". I enjoy the clinical aspects. I never wanted a management position. I just thought the NP...
  13. Maybe CRNAs are limited in their scope of practice because of other's ignorance. I think that other health care professionals do not realize the autonomy that CRNAs posess.
  14. Some states require that all health care professionals wear identification badges when interacting with patients. Staff are to have their educational status and training on their badges. When a CNA...
  15. It seems to me that CRNAs end up with more money in the long run. If you want the doctor title, get your PhD. It's only a couple more years.
  16. I took organic chem at night, while I was is nursing school full time during the day. Needless to say, I got a D in organic. I was spending too much time with the man who is now my husband. I was head...
  17. Wow! Well, I believe that its not a black and white issue. I have a 3.5 y/o and a 5 month old. I'm 27 y/o and married. I'll admit, there is some guilt when attending a CRNA program, but I wouldn't be...
