  1. Anesthesiology Assistants???

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

    I think the last thread on this went on for like 50 pages, and it got ugly. After alittle reflection though... The last thread seemed to center around AA's being miffed at the fact that CRNA's didn't...

  2. Hardest interview questions

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

    After alot of pretty involved questions that I answered in detail, I fumbled on the one yard line with this one; How many ucg's in a gram? I said, 1 million.. no 100 k, no wait a million. I couldn't...

  3. Here's what AAs really think of CRNAs

    Laughing Gas replied to Athlein1's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I never in any post bashed or said anything negative about AA's. You're pretty quick to put connotations where you see fit. I was letting people know what is good about CRNA's. If you feel inadequate...

  4. Here's what AAs really think of CRNAs

    Laughing Gas replied to Athlein1's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Agreed! I am really not judging AA's. Truth be told I have never even seen a real live breathing one. I am sure that they are sufficiently trained to administer safe anesthesia. But I feel that the...

  5. Here's what AAs really think of CRNAs

    Laughing Gas replied to Athlein1's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    good thing you have no axe to grind, otherwise you would have sounded opinionated had you not prefaced your post. crna versus md anesthesia; asking me to sum this up without euphoria (again, glad you...

  6. Here's what AAs really think of CRNAs

    Laughing Gas replied to Athlein1's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Alittle late to the party here. I will admit that I did not read all 27 pages of debate, so if I missed this please excuse me. All parties involved here seem to be focused on the mechanics of...

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

    U of Akron. If you're ever interested contact Mr. Barton. He's the man

  8. CRNA school difficult?

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

    Thanks FLCRNA. I am the husband! Yes my wife does work a weekend incentive position in the NICU. Finances are in a slow downward spiral. The goal is to make sure you graduate before you run out of...

  9. CRNA school difficult?

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

    And to add alittle credibility to my account, I have 3 kids, 7 weeks, 3 and 6 years. I also work part time in the sicu (for alittle while anyway)

  10. CRNA school difficult?

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

    I am by no means an expert as a junior student, but it is not "hard". Time consuming, all encompassing and life dominating yes, but not hard. If you have the right attitude and an open mind it is not...

    Got into Akron. Thanks for all of your

  13. question re: accepted to your 2nd choice first

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

    One thousand dollars is a small price to pay if you feel your first choice is a superior school. My

  14. icu experience

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

    You act as though there is no medical treatment in an SICU. I have worked in medical/coronary ICU and I now work in an SICU. They are generally 2 different schools of thought. We have actually had...

  15. icu experience

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

    Most of the schools around Ohio and Mich list SICU as the prefered unit. Some actually look at CICU or MICU as unfavorable. You really need the experience of post operative patients. The vasoactive...
