  2. What a Joke

    deepz replied to SICU/ER NURSE's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Rednecks for National Health Insurance: http://www.denverpost.com/Stories/0,1413,36~53~2630298,00.html

    deepz replied to forane2001's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Hear, hear. http://www.gaspasser.com/unique.html

  4. What a Joke

    deepz replied to SICU/ER NURSE's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Typical hyperbole from our physician colleagues, unfortunately. For more hyperbole: http://www.gaspasser.com/animal%20farm.html

  5. Be-littling CRNA's

    deepz replied to forane2001's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    God knows, it hurts me to agree with you on anything, JRK, but there it is: the circulator may have charge of the physical OR 'room' but the PATIENT'S guardian is always Anesthesia. People can be *so*...

  6. Nervous about 1st day in OR

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

    You've already received good advice here, Maria. It's GOOD to be nervous about your first clinical; nervous is good: you're moving into a new phase, assuming new functions, taking a patient's life in...

  7. Requested reposting of information concerning US Army Graduate Program in Anest Nsg

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

    Well, of course everything has a price, Matt, and Army schools can carry a high price. Of my own Army anesthesia days I have often said I wouldn't take a million dollars for all that I saw and all...

  8. Military vs. Civilian CRNA's

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

    And I was once told that the moon is made of green cheese. Both statements bear equal relation to reality.

  9. Plan B

    deepz replied to FLCRNA2B's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    If you must settle for second-best, there's always med school.

  10. Awake intubation question

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

    'Never' is a long, long time.

  11. Here's what AAs really think of CRNAs

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

    CRNAs have successfully prosecuted some cases under the Sherman Antitrust Act, but yes indeed, it gets very expensive very fast and sometimes the prevailing party gets NO cash payout, only the...

  12. Here's what AAs really think of CRNAs

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

    Prohibited only in the sense that MDAs have their ways of monopolizing resort-type areas. Although often contrary to anti-trust law, these behaviors are widespread. It's only local politics, not a...

  13. Nurse Anesthetist Incorporated ?

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

    Yes, definitely use a good CPA and an attorney if you incorporate. States vary as to what form corporations can take. However, you can get many of the same advantages by doing business as an...

  14. Future Requirements for CRNA schools?

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

    Before I go off .... Is this REALLY what you intended to say?

  15. question about LMA contraindications

    deepz replied to athomas91's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    could you be more specific as to absolute contraindications? reflux? what?

  16. Questions for CRNA's working in rural areas

    deepz replied to cabbage patch rn's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    One word: amphetamines ---- Ooops, no, I meant to say: caffeine.

  17. Here's what AAs really think of CRNAs

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

    http://www.aana.com http://www.aana.com/council/default1.asp Wonder no more.

  18. Shoe Suggestions and Earpiece Thoughts.....

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

    All fine and well for us oldtimers, I agree, but for beginners I believe the feeling in many programs remains, just as it was forty years ago in my Army program: NO sitting. Standing, one can see...

  19. dosing meds for obese pt

    deepz replied to athomas91's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Not to be flippant about it, but, how much do we give? -- we give enough. Empirical titration is the basic process of anesthesia care for all patients. Obese individuals can be very fast to awaken...

  20. what does c=rn mean?

    deepz replied to 2ndbach's topic in General Students

    Yes indeed. Often there appears to be an inverse relationship between grades and quality of bedside care. Go figure. AND Q: Why DID the armadillo cross the road? A: No one knows, as no armadillo...

  21. New CRNA Grad to independent practice???

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

    Before SOLO practice, is my recollection of the gist of that prefious thread. With 4 seasoned CRNAs as your co-workers and mentors you should have smooth sailing.

  22. Washington, D.C. CRNAS

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

    How many times have we read the words like 'hate' and 'anger' misused on this BB? Hate is a strong word, 69. This is politics, nothing personal. I don't know you, but your take on 'identical'...

  23. Opinions on BIS Monitors?

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

    ---You called, Mahster? Hey, the BIS is no cure-all, but I like it. Some folks don't. Had a patient today, bouncy as can be, chasing her throughout, trying to match my inhalation % and fentanyl...

  24. Is it possible to titrate paralytics?

    deepz replied to Diprivan/Vented's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I'm crushed -- crushed, I tell you! "Meager"! Oh, how could you?! In case you haven't noticed, Doctor Sunshine, ain't nobody died and made you boss. We don't need no stinking badges here, and this...

  25. Washington, D.C. CRNAS

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

    My point exactly. And getting away with it, as if you belonged legitimately at the head of the table. But still here all the same, aren't you, displaying a need for validation from nurses. Newbies...
