  4. Anesthesologist and CRNA collaboration

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

    In a nutshell! MDAs have no problem whatsoever with CRNAs and AAs, so long as the underlings kiss the ring and make the money while the overlords eat donuts and watch CNBC in the lounge Lazeeboy.

    deepz replied to Bunny Bear's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  8. any discrimination in crna schools admission?

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

  9. Future CRNA income

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

    Sorry, it's just naive to believe such decisions are based on a rational analysis of cost-effectiveness. Should be perhaps, but rarely happens that way in the real world of anesthesia. Local...

  10. Future CRNA income

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

    People in Hell want ice water too, don't they. As the saying goes, many are called, few are chosen. Not in our lifetime will there be a nationwide surplus of

  13. money involved in becoming a crna

    deepz replied to ccunurse123's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  15. Propofol IV push by non-CRNAs in non-intubated patients--allowed in Oregon

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

    As I often say, moving from a light Versed/Demerol combo into bolusing propofol is like a fully qualified Cessna pilot jumping into the cockpit of an F-16 jet. Expect trouble.

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

    Of course, as many PhDs say, an MD isn't truly a 'real' doctorate degree...............

  17. America's first formally educated Nurse Anesthetist

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

    Wonder where the PANA came up with the formally educated part. Ira Gunn, writing in the history chapter of Nag & Zag, refers back to Thatcher: "Sister Mary Bernard founded the Sisters of St....

    deepz replied to calirn2006's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Unless my eyes decieve me, dog, you appear to be calling me a liar. Yes, I do in fact live in CO, a state which happens to abut three of the other FOUR Corners States, in all of which States I have...
