    Action by Iowa Gov Vilsack today: http://desmoinesregister.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060525/NEWS10/605250394/1011 ties in with a national movement to encourage forthright apologies:...

  8. Do CRNAs do probono...?

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

    As noted above, there are many groups such as Operation Smile. Personally, most ALL my charity $$ go to Mercy Ships Intl because they squeeze every penny's worth of good out of contributions....

    Tape overdose is one.

  11. Lidocaine prior to IV start?

    deepz replied to WVUturtle514's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Well...? My husband had lidocaine used on him to start an IV then to anethetize the area. He had a seizure. "....Then to anesthetize the area"? Not sure what you mean unless it was a field block...

    And when you write your letters, folks, don't forget to remind our legislators that for the price of ONE anesthesiologist we can train 8 to 11 CRNAs (depending whose figures one uses). And we PAY OUR...

    Please. Are we idiots? Anyone who believes this needs a brain transplant. Simply put, there are only so many training slots. A finite number, essentially. Long term, if Medicare pays hospitals...

  15. The Most CRNA friendly States

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

    Highly facility-specific and individual doc specific. In general, those rural one-holers (and two- and three- plus) are where the CRNA is fully appreciated, away from MDAs, i.e., CRNA-only shops....

  16. The Most CRNA friendly States

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

    Please, Tranman -- get it straight! Let's not give wannabees a wrong impression here. NO STATE *requires* MDA supervision of CRNAs. None. Part of the COP for Medicare reimbursement does require MD...

  19. Post-op vision problems?

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

    So then your patient simply had blurred vision, I guess, rather than she woke up and said, I can't see, I'm blind. That's my horror story on this subject. Healthy OB patient gets three surgeries...

    Harvard study announced today reports that 40% of medical malpractice lawsuits are based on bogus claims. 4 in 10! Keep those cards and letters coming -- to Congress. http://capwiz.com/aoa-net/home/...

    deepz replied to Sheri257's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    deepz replied to Isuhd8u's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Kudos. You were lucky to have had a mentor who wasn't afraid to show you a largely discredited technic. Why discredited? 'Cause back in The Day there were folks who used no nondepolarizers -- none,...

  25. Am I wrong to say?

    deepz replied to blee1's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Precisely. The petty jealousies of fellow nurses can be upsetting, especially if they see SRNAs as LEAVING the profession of nursing, when in fact CRNAs' nursing background is our major STRENGTH in...
