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

    I agree, like I stated before, my #1 goal is that my kids don't even realize what we are going through... T-ball, vegetables and protein, clean underwear are all priorities. We are paying for...

  3. SRNA wife about to loose it......

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

    Thanks all for the reply...I now realize that spelling "loose" instead of "lose" in my title should of clued me in to just how tired I was last night. I am the biggest proponent of scaling down kids...

  4. CRNA Headhunters/Recruiters

    Laughing Gas replied to TraumaNurse's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Have to agree with JWK on this one. You are including a middleman for no reason. We are in such short supply that most groups are happy to have you sitting down talking with them. The group I am with...

    caseyrb... this is a little late, I know, but thought I might help. I am a BGSU grad with my BSN and went about it the long way. 2 years at BG, applied to MCO, did not get in. Back then ( in 1993) you...

  7. 1 year ICU experience

    Laughing Gas replied to SaraB's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Well, not really. Alot of the basics are counter intuitive. Until you get hands on experience, not much else matters. The first time you try to mask a patient you'll see what I mean. Understanding how...

  8. 1 year ICU experience

    Laughing Gas replied to SaraB's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    IMO the ICU does very little to prepare you for CRNA. There are aspects that are very important, ie fluid management, lines, vasoactives, etc. Depending on the type of ICU you land in these...

  9. difference between Nurse Anesthetist and anesthesiologist

    Laughing Gas replied to lpnstudentin2010's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    For whom is the biggest factor money? You seem to have given yourself the ability to assess motive that addresses thousands of professionals. As for your dating/salary scenario, I am still not clear...

  11. difference between Nurse Anesthetist and anesthesiologist

    Laughing Gas replied to lpnstudentin2010's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    The portion of this forum about CRNA's and salaries is possibly one of the lamest things I've read this far. First off, I would stay in anesthesia for less than I was making as an RN. I love it. I...

  12. Clinical Doctorate in Anesthsia

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

    A couple points here; I have gone through pretty much the most rigorous AP, pharm etc that a master's level nursing program can offer. I am friends with alot of MD's, residents and med students. I can...

  13. difference between Nurse Anesthetist and anesthesiologist

    Laughing Gas replied to lpnstudentin2010's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I bet a vast majority would do it for plain old RN salary. So would you complain if AA's were paid what CRNA's get? Maybe that can be your new platform. We do it for less because we love it

  14. difference between Nurse Anesthetist and anesthesiologist

    Laughing Gas replied to lpnstudentin2010's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Wait a minute here! I know alot of MDA's and CRNA's and there is no boundary by profession when it comes to motivation (money v. care). I know cold CRNA's and very caring docs. I think we are getting...

  18. CRNAs in Florida to require anesthesiologist supervision

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

    Let's get a couple definitions set here... Supervision implies a legal relationship. There is no implication that the physician will ever touch or see the patient. The CRNA may be the only anesthesia...

    You seem very articulate and your interest is peaked in the right direction. You are correct, this is the most amazing job you can do. Get your BSN first. I got my AD first and ended up doing plenty...

    As yogaCRNA said, there are alot of variables that may have played a part. Typically versed doesn't knock the doo doo out of people like that, but it can. I would ask my anesthesia provider about his...

  24. Very Important Question about sedation

    Laughing Gas replied to Danianne's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA
