  1. Doctor Frustrations

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

    First if all, if you don't want to know, don't ask. If you don't want to see CRNAs trashed by the likes of jwk and the A$A rabid-types at SDN, don't go there. Their world is NOT the real world....

  2. 'PA anesthetist'?

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

    Q -- how many CRNAs still work at the UNM Hospital in ABQ after faculty hard-core A$A types brought in AAs? A -- They

  5. preparing for that first job....

    deepz replied to ECU_CRNA2B's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Go for volume, 2B Lots of cases, lots of acuity; after the first year or two, you'll be ready to go anywhere and tackle whatever. (Graduation is actually only the true beginning of your education in...

  6. Is the AA profession gaining ground?

    deepz replied to Alpha13's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    You really need to study the history of anesthesia before you go on pontificating. Nurse anesthetists have long been the mainstay of American anesthesia, long before anesthesiologists discovered how...

  7. How do you really feel about AA and would you go that route now if you could do over?

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

    Once again, as usual for an A$A mouthpiece, CATEGORICALLY untrue. COA requirements are currently that to graduate each student must have administered a minimum of 25 regional anesthetics and managed...

  8. Is the AA profession gaining ground?

    deepz replied to Alpha13's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    More A$A baloney. Here's a factual antidote: CRNA-PAC takes care of lobbying and such political functions. AANA dues are a separate matter entirely, funds never

  9. Is the AA profession gaining ground?

    deepz replied to Alpha13's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    2001 is some strange fabrication, far as I can tell. ?? If one refers to Medicare billing, CRNAs were the first APNs to get individual Part B billing rights, dating back to 1987. CRNAs have...

  10. Is the AA profession gaining ground?

    deepz replied to Alpha13's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Baloney. If they haven't gotten traction with AAs in 30 years, I wouldn't lose any sleep over it. Fewer than a thousand of these well-intentioned folks exist. Competition? The A$A wants...

  11. Is the AA profession gaining ground?

    deepz replied to Alpha13's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Here's an amusing cross-post.......... "Anesthesiologist Assistants-Another Trojan Horse? http://www.asahq.org/Newsletters/2003/06_03/lte06_03.html We've traveled this road before when there existed a...

  12. Is the AA profession gaining ground?

    deepz replied to Alpha13's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    If the truth hurts, that might explain the A$A aversion to it. Ask your boss if he still goes around claiming to have done 300,000 cases by himself.

  13. Need Malpractice Insurance Info

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

    Ask a knowledgeable Florida

  14. CRNA vs Physician Salaries

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

    Apparently you don't know the history.

  15. CRNA vs Physician Salaries

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

    Baloney. If you didn't have such a transparent agenda, you might have noticed that AANA tactics have evolved in response to unrelenting ATTACKS by the A$A on CRNAs' competence, safety and...

  16. CRNA vs Physician Salaries

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

    If all-physician-provider anesthesia was so great, stats would show that the countries of ye olde British Empire, with only docs passing gas, to be clearly safer and otherwise superior to our stats in...

  17. STAT intubation advice PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!

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

    As to the original question, there have been excellent suggestions here, and though I sometimes joke that all we in anesthesia require to intubate is a tongue blade and a flashlight, I did hear a new...

  18. the stress as a CRNA

    deepz replied to sunshine32's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    If a CRNA doesn't feel stress once in a while, that person just isn't paying attention. And paying attention is, essentially, how we earn our living.

  19. CRNA vs Physician Salaries

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

    Yeah!

  20. Is the AA profession gaining ground?

    deepz replied to Alpha13's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    As we often say to those who think we're overpaid, paindoc, it's not too late for you also: applications to CRNA school are being accepted every day still.

  21. Is the AA profession gaining ground?

    deepz replied to Alpha13's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Oh please.............

  22. Is the AA profession gaining ground?

    deepz replied to Alpha13's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Some folks are still holding on to their Confederate money,

  23. Is the AA profession gaining ground?

    deepz replied to Alpha13's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    All these years and you still swallow that particular A$A propaganda hook, line, and sinker. Perhaps you need to get out of Atlanta more often. Have you also seen any MDA personally perform 300,000...

  24. Anesthesologist and CRNA collaboration

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

    Of course paindoc won't stoop to a dialogue, prefers to lecture, but I'm curious nevertheless -- why'd he quit anesthesia? Sounds like a bit of history we'd all be able to learn from. ??

  25. Anesthesologist and CRNA collaboration

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

    It's a power thing, Greg. The docs hold the hire-and-fire power in most departments; they attend the committee meetings, they glad-hand the administrators, while we stay hidden down the bowels of the...
