  1. How many of you went to Nursing School with the sole intention of becoming a CRNA?

    warzone posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    This includes planning on working in the ICU for the minimum amount of time required by your school's program. Did this 'focus' seem to help you through your BSN program? Do you feel it hindered you...

    Quick background. 30 year old male changing careers from Industrial Design to Nursing. Plan on starting BSN program next Fall. I am finishing up my CNA class here shortly. I plan to work as a CNA...

    Since I am 'maturely challenged' it struck me funny that poop was telling us that we would have to clean it up! I guess I am just a visual thinker...my bad! :chuckle Ok, I am over it now.

    I'm sorry but this is killing me..."as Tenesma said..." Ha! I get the worst visual. Why is poop always so funny - unless you have to clean it

  5. AA vs. CRNA - Let's Discuss.

    warzone posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Let's have a discussion/debate (although it will probably be one sided) about AA vs. CRNA. These are just some topics I thought of off the top of my head. Any input or 'playing devil's advocate'...

  6. AA vs. CRNA - Let's Discuss.

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

    A special thanks to Tenesma for the differing view point. I think it's very beneficial to have an MDAs persepective in this discussion...however unpopular it may

    Thanks Emerald! From that Forum: "Check out http://orlando.bizjournals.com/orla.../17/story6.html . I think it's hilarious that CRNA's, having been made almost totally independent in some states,...

  9. AA vs. CRNA - Let's Discuss.

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

    Well then AAs are dead in the water, if it can't be marketed as a viable option. Would the AA profession have been 'created' if there was no viable way to market it? I highly doubt that the role of...

  11. AA vs. CRNA - Let's Discuss.

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

    I am wondering if MDA's will use their power to push AA's autonomy level up almost on par with CRNAs, while still keeping their leverage over them. MDAs are probably looking at CRNAs, similar to the...

  18. Pediatric Nurse Anesthetist?

    warzone posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Correct me if I am wrong... I believe that Anethesiologists take an extra year or so to certify them as a Pediatric Anesthesiologist. Is there an extra certification available or needed to work with...

  19. Pediatric Nurse Anesthetist?

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

    Interesting...thank you very much. Is the care for pediatric patients covered in most CRNA Programs, either by didactic or clinicals? I would presume most of the course work is centered around adult...

  20. 'Shivers'/Uncontrollable Shaking after anesthesia?

    warzone posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    About a year ago I had a microdiscectomy performed at L5-S1. Shortly after I was awakened I could not stop shivering/shaking. It was getting worse, so I asked the nurse who was standing next to me...

  22. 'Shivers'/Uncontrollable Shaking after anesthesia?

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

    Seems like I was given Demerol to stop the shaking? Of course I could be wrong, I was starting to panic after what seemed like 15 minutes of shaking. The funny thing is, the nurse looked a little...

  23. Chiropractors

    warzone replied to Paprikat's topic in General Nursing

    I believe Chiros can help some problems, but as mentioned in some other posts, some don't know where their boundries are. Often times the same 'adjustments' are used for virtually all back problems....
