  1. Not trying to stir up bad ideas, but......

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

    Sc17, please note the last line below. Licensure laws were not created in order to grant monopolies to any one group. -------------------------------- June 1990 The administration of anesthesia and...

  2. Why CRNAs are here to stay

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

    Rural America uses CRNAs exclusively to staff the vast majority of hospitals, 24/7/365. That's where the big money is for CRNAs. MDAs don't want that lifestyle: too much work and too little money...

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

    Oh please.

  4. Not trying to stir up bad ideas, but......

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

    Well, doctor, I'm perplexed quite frankly that you did not then set those legislators straight -- you didn't tell them all about the intensive education CRNAs receive? -- what all it is that CRNAs...

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

    Actually my diploma from CRNA school, issued by no less than the US Army Medical Service, states that I graduated from the course entitled 'ANESTHESIOLOGY for Army Nurse Corps Officers.' Emphasis...

  6. Not trying to stir up bad ideas, but......

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

    Can you back up these assertions with reference citations? Or is they merely your personal opinions, paindoc?

  7. Not trying to stir up bad ideas, but......

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

    Yah, sorta like the term 'non-physician provider' -- the put-down is

  8. Reasons NOT to be CRNA

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

    Ouch! Really must say, endo, that's not been my experience these past 40+ years. Far from it. But ... most of my personal CRNA friends and acquaintances practice either independently or with much...

  9. Not trying to stir up bad ideas, but......

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

    Perhaps you misunderstand what skipaway was saying? My interpretation: In the OR, CRNAs and MDAs are functional equivalents. Equals? No. CRNAs are not MDs, but anesthesia IS anesthesia. One...

  10. Nitrogen Wash Out

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

    Really! Well, there certainly are a thousand ways to skin this cat. A quick Google gives us these two refs: Grief R, Laciny S, Rapf B, Hickle R, Sessler D: Supplemental oxygen reduces the incidence...

  11. PBL curriculum

    deepz replied to blee1's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    And it is called PBL? But in addition to lectures

  12. an interesting and somewhat ignorant article title

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

    Oh really? By doctors? Time for a reality

  13. an interesting and somewhat ignorant article title

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

    Yep

  14. an interesting and somewhat ignorant article title

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

    One irony is that Dr Ron Miller's daughter is a CRNA. Must make for lively conversation around the Thanksgiving dinner table. Unfortunately, in the larger dysfunctional family feud that is American...

  15. PBL curriculum

    deepz replied to blee1's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Really?! No lectures? Why not just make the entire degree one big Independent Study Course? While massive amounts of self-directed study are the norm, no CRNA program I am aware of has taken the PBL...

  16. PBL curriculum

    deepz replied to blee1's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    No idea what you're referring to as PBL, but many of the students whom I work with, due to their monetary restraints, get heavily into PBJs. Related?

  17. an interesting and somewhat ignorant article title

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

    Not so quick there -- and not so categorically black-and-white either, if you please. The quote you are responding to: "CRNAs are advanced practice nurses who are the hands-on providers of...

  18. Surgery death blamed on jealous former classmate

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

    Everyone involved gets named when a suit is filed. Lawyers cast a wide net, then throw out the small fry during the course of discovery.

  19. Nitrogen Wash Out

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

    OK then, but therefore oxygen toxicity is more a long-term ICU ventilator patient concern than it is a run-of-the-mill everyday anesthesia concern. Many anesthesia providers, myself included, prefer...

  20. Reasons NOT to be CRNA

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

    My sympathies, micugirl. My insight as an oldtimer to your stressful situation would be a joke I often tell the students I work with: Think of MY stress; doing the case with a student is like doing...

  21. Nitrogen Wash Out

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

    Please define long term.

  22. Reasons NOT to be CRNA

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

    You may not be a CRNA, traumaRUS, but you do understand perfectly well the vital differences between nurse anesthetists and the other anesthetists. I applaud your insight. Anesthesia is an arcane, a...

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

    Richard Haas's words need to be in a sticky.
