  1. A Natural???

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

    There is no "Maybe" about opportunities in Nurse Anesthesia Education. The shortage in the CRNA ranks is not as great as the shortage of CRNA Educator! Less than 1% of all CRNAs are faculty- we need...

  3. More Fights between CRNA's and AA's?

    CRNA, DNSc replied to Sheri257's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    It's all about control. AA's MUST practice under the direct supervision of an Anesthesiologist- therefore they are completely under the control of the Anesthesiologist. Think about the issue in...

  4. Adn-bsn-crna

    CRNA, DNSc replied to TLC RN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Investigate if the courses you got B's in are the same ones that would be reviewed for anesthesia programs and consider if you want to repeat them for both the BSN and CRNA programs. That way you...

    CRNA, DNSc replied to TLC RN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I noticed you are from Detroit- get yourself down to Wayne State University and ask about the the CD2 program designed for people that already have a bachelors degree. Both RN and BSN are obtained in...

  7. nicu?

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

    I have seen the high average scores but if I remember correctly the number was based on a small number of candidates. Candidates need the swan experience since the critically ill adults will have...

  8. nicu?

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

    Yes some schools do accept NICU as appropriate experience but it may not rank as high because of the limited use of vasopressors and lack of swan ganz catheter experience. Schools will expect you to...

    1. Joining the AANA is a no-brainer. It is THE organization dedicated to the advancement of the profession of Nurse Anesthesia. I am proud to belong and obviously others are too since more than 93%...

  13. What anesthesia complications??

    CRNA, DNSc posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I have been asked to present on anesthesia complications in obstetrics to a meeting of OB RNs. As an OB RN what kinds or types of anesthesia complications do you feel you need/want to know about????...

  14. What anesthesia complications??

    CRNA, DNSc replied to CRNA, DNSc's topic in Ob/Gyn

    EKG monitoring is not a "Standard of Care" for using epidurals in laboring patients but I would certainly think that the initial hour of recovery from a C-section should include EKG

  15. Difference between MSN and MSA degree.

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

    Loisane, I will have to differ with you. In short------------------no. I had a Master of Science (not in Nursing) and the only thing I had to do outside of the normally required prerequistes was one...

  16. physical strength

    CRNA, DNSc replied to mitzi77CRNP's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Relax and don't worry about missing your first intubation. I would recommend that you build up strength in that left arm but you do not have to be the HULK in order to be a

  17. Questions to ask of CRNA programs

    CRNA, DNSc replied to Rhon1991's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    You may ask about pass rates, but a program director should not be stating individual scores- that is a breech of confidentiality! (Mean score would be okay but that really doesn't tell you much- the...

  18. BIS Monitors

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

    The representative informed us that there are new forehead strips for the BIS monitor that will decrease the artifact- this may improve the functioning of the

  19. Difference between MSN and MSA degree.

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

    THe degree is based on the college or university the program is housed within. There are sciences involved in both types of degrees. You need to look at individual programs not just what degree...

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

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

    I would highly recommend that you buy or borrow a copy of "Watchful Care: A History of America's Nurse Anesthetists by Marianne Bankert and read it. You will see a century of physician attempts to...

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

    You are the one that has to make that decision for yourself. Be very sure about the AA use in areas that you want to work and live for the rest of your life. Keep in mind that there are only two...

  22. CRNA's in the future...

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

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

    WarZone- I suggest you get your figures straight on where CRNAs work. Yes many of them work in the cities but over 2/3 of rural hospitals in America have CRNA as the only anesthesia providers...

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