  1. CRNA independent states

    Tony35NYC replied to cooper's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    The states won't opt back in. It doesn't make sense (logistically or financially) for them to do so. Why stretch their medicaid/medicare dollars to pay MDAs more when they've been paying CRNAs less to...

  2. Clinical Doctorate in Anesthsia

    Tony35NYC replied to Lambert5883's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    True, as has already been said by someone else in another post, if we want to be medical doctors then we should go to medical school. Nursing is nursing, and medicine is medicine. But I don't agree...

  3. Clinical Doctorate in Anesthsia

    Tony35NYC replied to Lambert5883's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Oh dear. A Clinical doctorate!!! I'm really excited to hear about this. So CRNAs would then be PhDs. Hmmmmmmm. The MDAs won't like this one bit!

  4. ATTEN: The Future of CRNA's Threatened?

    Tony35NYC replied to Nitecap's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    The guys who run the ASA are are a pretty mean bunch of physicians who've done and said some nasty things about CRNAs over the years, and they evidently intend to keep trying until they either get...

  5. CRNAs in Florida to require anesthesiologist supervision

    Tony35NYC replied to Tony35NYC's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Very good! I just e-mailed them a very nice

  6. Encouragement For Full-Time working Students

    Tony35NYC replied to Melly1022's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hello, Melly. Stop telling them that you work full-time. In fact, its none of their business whether you work or not so don't even mention it during your interview. Yes, you can get a nursing degree...

  7. Details about the NET Test

    Tony35NYC replied to nev's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The NET is nothing at all like the ACT. In fact, the NET is nothing but grammar, reading comprehension, and very, very basic algebra. I think its a very silly test for nursing students because it has...

  8. Gen. Psych in Summer, too hard?

    Tony35NYC replied to katie-did's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Since you need to do this class you should just go ahead and get it over and done with. Every college course is either easy or difficult, depending on how much time and effort you are willing to put...

  9. Backup plans for BSN

    Tony35NYC replied to nurse2btracy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with the posts that suggest applying to different programs. Why pile the eggs into one basket, right? You didn't say what courses you got the Fs in. Were they science classes like A&P,...

  10. ATTEN: The Future of CRNA's Threatened?

    Tony35NYC replied to Nitecap's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Not yet a SRNA, but I've posted my concerns about this matter elsewhere in this forum. It is the nature of man to try to protect his "own piece of ground" and thats what this tug of war between MDAs...

  11. Lippincott's or Davis's Drug guide?

    Tony35NYC replied to rkrs6673's topic in General Students

    I recommend

  12. What Is Your Biggest Weakness?

    Tony35NYC replied to RN2B07's topic in General Nursing

    I don't see this as a weakness at all. Shabby nursing care is not

  13. Taking a job in a unit you don't really want

    Tony35NYC replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Couldn't agree more with the last post on this thread. I just quit my job as a tech/intern at a hospital that promised me a preceptorship in the ICU (which is what I really want) then switched me to...

  14. Male RN's in demand ?

    Tony35NYC replied to roxburin's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I don't know that gender has anything to do with demand for nurses. In my neck of the woods all you need is an RN

  15. PDA Software

    Tony35NYC replied to Bigranger's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I just like the Pepid user interface more but thats a matter of personal preference. It costs about the same as epocrates and they're both good products. I recommend you try them both and see which...

  16. applied for CNA job...and now a credit check?

    Tony35NYC replied to twinbee25's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Twinbee, from my experience working in management I know that when some places say they are going to do a background check it is usually only a criminal background check. Even though they say they are...

  17. O.K. So I finished my first semester of my online RN to BSN

    Tony35NYC replied to Tweety's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Ok, Tweety. I was going to say 'congratulations' in big bold letters but I dont think I can top Suzanne's post. So, here it is in regular size:

  18. PDA Software

    Tony35NYC replied to Bigranger's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The epocrates freeware is good if you are a student or an RN who just wants basic drug info and a coupla neat calculators. If you want the real stuff you have to get the pay version. Epocrates is good...

  19. CRNAs in Florida to require anesthesiologist supervision

    Tony35NYC replied to Tony35NYC's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I have a few friends here in New York who are CRNAs. They are very passionate about their work and its not just because of the money. Listening to these guys talk about their work is what inspired me...

  20. CRNA vs. MDA - pros and cons

    Tony35NYC replied to daitheflu's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Yoga, I think you have this down pat. I'm not a CRNA, but just from working with some of these surgeons and listening to the things they say while the're doing rounds in the SICU/MICU, I couldn't...

  21. CRNAs in Florida to require anesthesiologist supervision

    Tony35NYC replied to Tony35NYC's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Rob, After watching the political developments going on there in Florida I'm not so sure the senate will kill HB 629. Florida NPs thought the same thing about SB2634 when it was introduced into the...

  22. mouth care/intubated patient

    Tony35NYC replied to classicaldreams's topic in MICU, SICU

    They had a staff meeting about VAP on my unit not too long ago and we also got a new type of mouth care kit. We use a mild, flavored peroxide solution and a mouth moisturizer with the...

  23. Mnemonic for cranial nerves

    Tony35NYC replied to KR's topic in General Students

    This thread is unbelievable and totally wack, but I have to that admit some of your tips helped me through Ortho

  24. How do You deal with Man-Hating Female Nurses?

    Tony35NYC replied to PrisonrNurs's topic in Men in Nursing

    This is an old thread, but I just want to pitch in my thoughts. You said you love the job so I hope you're not seriously thinking about quitting. If you let these people run you off then they win,...

  25. NEEDED: Career advice for new grad.

    Tony35NYC replied to Ali_Oop07's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I agree. I would go with either #1 or #2 because as a new grad you NEED to be properly oriented to the place, and by people who've been working there for a good while. As a new grad, you don't need...
