  1. Why can't you go straight to CRNA School from BSN?

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

    The other way around, actually: the number of ads will reflect high demand due to the short supply of CRNAs. As to the need for acute care experience as a prerequisite:...

  2. Decadron for PONV prophylaxis?

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

    Curious ... was that scop you received IV or the TransDerm patch? I've put the patch on hundreds of folks without a single complaint of side effects, and good results in synergy with dexamethasone,...

  3. Questions Unanswered!!

    deepz replied to CRNANUPE_2B's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    De nada. How about that final point? -- that if the A$A's vaunted superiority of docs over CRNAs actually held water, the British system, with only docs doing anesthesia, would be clearly and...

  4. Questions Unanswered!!

    deepz replied to CRNANUPE_2B's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Dr Mark Lema's 'Ventilations' columns have often fanned the flames of contention between the A$A and the lowly nurse anesthetists that Dr Lema and his ilk would wish to enslave. He is a craven...

  5. Lap Chole and Narcotics

    deepz replied to bwt02's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  7. Anesthesia Record Keepine

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

    Check the last line of this quote from AANA Standards: http://www.aana.com/crna/prof/scope.asp "Standard V * Monitor the patient's physiologic condition as appropriate for the type of anesthesia and...

  8. Md's Against Crna's?

    deepz replied to LLL123's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Happy Holidays to you too, sunshine! Perhaps you can find your own AA BB?

  9. CRNA Board Review

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

    Bulloney. Requires orchestral accompaniment and runs 30 minutes. DON'T believe everything you read on the internet. http://www.snopes.com/glurge/music.htm

  10. Clinical Quiz

    deepz replied to piper77's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Exhalation leaf valve blocked inadvertently when tech changed the CO2. Or ... tech neglected to remove plastic overwrap on the absorber cartridge.

  11. CRNA accused of sexual misconduct

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

    Excellent point. Seems most common with propofol by infusion and especially in susceptible patients whose libido might ordinarily run a little weird. Then ... add perhaps a touch of ketamine, and...

  12. Md's Against Crna's?

    deepz replied to LLL123's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Formal A$A policy, promulgated by radical doc chauvinists, officially prohibits CRNAs from performing block and lines. Not all MDAs go along with that radical leadership, thank goodness. And our...

  13. Nurse Anesthetist mentioned on Dr. Phil!

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

    In the house, but I missed Dr Phil. Some of us gotta work......! deepz As to Nurse Jim, Delivery Boy:

  14. How are practicing CRNAs Fighting for our profession??

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

    Somehow, I doubt that this figure can possibly include all us many CRNAs who help students in front-loaded programs with our experience as their clinical instructors during their field placements....

  15. Md's Against Crna's?

    deepz replied to LLL123's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Actually, the average CRNA salary exceeds the average FP or pediatrician, much to the doctors' consternation. And opinion polls consistently are showing the public's confidence in nurses to above...

  16. Warning: Political Contents Inside

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

    This sounds more like a trolling provocateur than a prospective CRNA student. Could this actually be Dr Mark Lema speaking for the A$A? 'Informed' members of the general public? Oh please. Sorry to...

  17. The AANA, the ASA, and the SDN

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

    Name one that shows CRNAs' anesthesia care to be inferior to MDAs'.

  20. Living While in CRNA School

    deepz replied to sonofsatan24's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Good strategy. I've known many couples who would take turns working: as one spouse studies for another academic step upward, the other spouse works; then, next step accomplished, vice versa. I'm also...

  21. RRNA or SRNA for title, What is your opinion?

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

    Bryan my friend, please don't take this the wrong way, as I do tend to be overly blunt, but it seems as if you burn up an *awful* lot of energy speculating, speculations on this and on that, energy...

  22. RRNA or SRNA for title, What is your opinion?

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

    Oh please. The definition quoted above is one of many for the word resident. As English and all languages continually evolve, definitions evolve also; dictionaries are therefore historical...

  23. Mivacron and RSI

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

    Because by the time you get full onset, it's already half worn off.

  24. Volunteer/humanitarian missions?

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

  25. Practice Issues

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

    Cogent points, all, my dear yoda. The 'Attitude' OP was IMHO not a CRNA at all, simply a poser and a provocateur. Witness the cross-posting to SDN, hoping to stir up a flame fest. Who do we know who...
