  1. Two newB questions

    deepz replied to user69's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Two references: http://www.aana.com/crna/prof/quality.asp http://www.aana.com/press/2003/041103_pine.asp And lots more to explore at

  2. Rural Jobs

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

    Good advice. Go for a busy place where you can do high volume and variety. Having spent a decade solo at a one-holer in the boonies, I can assure you that most new graduates require considerable...

  4. Should Anesthesia Be an only MD Profession

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

    Don't quite know why you think we might disagree, Randy, as I do not object to the presence of MDs and did not say such; I only stated that from some of their posts, one might wonder as to an MD's...

  5. Should Anesthesia Be an only MD Profession

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

    There do seem to be an inordinate number of MDs posting lately on this CRNA board. Makes one wonder about their motivations.

  6. Does size matter?

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

  7. Does a "B" stand for Blackeye

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

    My guess (based on experience as a clinical instructor in the distant past) would be PRESSURE. Cue Billy Joel. Scholastic pressure, yes -- and much more so now than in my days as a student c.1966 --...

  9. Okay, lets say someone DOESN"T get accepted into CRNA school the first time around...

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

    Wow. You would defy them to explain to you? You would then explain XYZ to them? I would really advise against taking that sort of tone with any admissions board, or attempting to filch from CRNA...

  10. Socialized medicine, and the future of CRNAs

    deepz replied to user69's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    But not as much as dentists make. I understand they are exempt from the socialized pay sheme, and can still charge fee-for-service, what the market will bear. So it's the Canadian DENTISTS who sport...

  11. Did anyone else see the show on Anesthesia Awareness on Discovery Health tonight?

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

    Out there in the real world, Roland, you would find a lot of patients who will insist you NOT tell them about potential side effects and complications. If you don't want to know, don't ask --...

  12. Did anyone else see the show on Anesthesia Awareness on Discovery Health tonight?

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

    Actually, Roland, in my estimation the public CAN have too much information on occasion. What we tell patients and family must be tailored to the individual, to their level of education and...

  13. Did anyone else see the show on Anesthesia Awareness on Discovery Health tonight?

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

    This TV coverage lately has drawn a lot of attention to the incidence of recall, claimed to 40,00 / yr in the USA. http://www.anesthesiaawareness.com/ is run by Carol Weihrer, the unfortunate...

  14. Risks and Benefits and Consent for Anesthesia

  15. simple mortality question

    deepz replied to Rhon1991's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Here's a statistic from the IOM ( 1. Institute of Medicine. To Err Is Human: Building a Safer Health System. Washington, DC: National Academy Press; 1999:27.) "Success in reducing anesthesia-related...

  16. I am thinking about going for my CRNA

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

    There are many various practice arrangments for CRNAs in America, ranging the gamut from ACTs where MDAs push the drugs to no MDA input at all, to total CRNA independence. Occasionally I work...

  17. Say it's not so

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

    This quote from OGP seems more to the point: "[to Xxxx] I do not wrap all new grads into the same category, and I don't feel that [xxx] or the others do as well. What we are talking about seems to be...

  18. few ??'s for CRNA's

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

    Fair? The subject was boredom in the OR. Does anyone dispute that in the big wide world outside the training centers, MDs doing anesthesia are far more likely than CRNAs to get bored? ... and then...

  19. few ??'s for CRNA's

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

    To imply that I lie about 40 years of experience observing misbehaviors of MDAs is something of an insult, is it not? Did I say I took my boards at 20? No. But since the tender age of 17 I have...

  20. few ??'s for CRNA's

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

    Boredom can be a problem for some people in anesthesia. Usually the ones you will discover reading a book, newspaper or magazine while they are supposed to be monitoring a patient -- and very well...

  23. 12th State Opts Out

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

    To clarify two points: 1 - CRNAs have been directly reimbursed by Medicare since 1986, the first APRN group to gain such economic parity. Anesthesia is anesthesia: same pay rate, MD or CRNA. The...

  24. Happy Nurse Anesthetists Week!!

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

    This morning 1/26/04 NBC's Matt Lauer out on the Plaza mentions National Nurse Anesthetist Week -- and pronounces it CORRECTLY -- in acknowledgement of at least two folks holding CRNA Week placards....
