  1. SRNA to CRNA transition blues.......

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

    Are they stupervising MDAs you refer to, insisting that you do it their way and not your own way?

  2. Nitrogen Wash Out

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

    No size 6 available? Actually I don't get too excited about air leakage at first -- if Spo2 and EtCO2 are acceptable; LMAs seem to seat much better in a short time as a patient relaxes more with...

  3. Nitrogen Wash Out

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

    Pretty fair explanation ... BUT ... don't be misled that all is well simply on the basis of a good sPO2, if one then disregards what happens with a rapidly escalating pCO2 and the deleterious effects...

  4. Spanish phrases for anethesia

    deepz replied to SRNA11's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    ??-- respire profundo ( profundamente) --

  5. Why do you love anesthesia??

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

    Yes indeed. Every patient is unique. And every day, as another quotidian installment of life-long learning, you teach yourself something new.

  6. My CRNA friends do illegal drugs

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

    Second to none, my friend! As the man says here: http://www.gaspasser.com/unique.html CRNAs control the patient's physiology; surgeons, merely the anatomy.

  7. Do CRNAs exist in Canada?!?

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

    More specifically: http://www.michener.ca/ce/postdiploma/anesth_asst.php Yes, it is their version of an

  8. My CRNA friends do illegal drugs

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

    'Remembers ketamine'? Remember it? Do you wish to imply that ketamine is not used in everyday current practice? Not so. Hardly a week goes by that I don't employ ketamine in some manner as an...

  9. Here's what AAs really think of CRNAs

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

    You must be thinking of AAs.

  10. What traits make for a good CRNA?

    deepz replied to hemlok2's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Initiative and attention to detail are big ones. OCD helps too (otherwise known as A-R).

  11. How much does CNRA school teach about pain management?

    deepz replied to Josh L.Ac.'s topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Varies widely by school, and also by individual clinical site affiliated with a program. In general, more CRNA control = broader exposure.

  12. Propofol providers

  13. Staying fresh while earning experience.

    deepz replied to Inuyasha2k06's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Without getting all mystical about it, allow me to suggest that school is only the beginning of our education. A professional education will ideally teach individuals how to teach themselves, will...

  14. 1 year ICU schools

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

    The AANA requirement is actually for a year minimum of ACUTE CARE, not necessarily ICU per se. So ER etc might suffice, depending on the specific school's

  15. Cosmetic Surgery Death after RN (not CRNA) Administered Propofol

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

    http://www.eplabdigest.com/article/5899 The authors assert: "Propofol, a central nervous system depressor classified as a deep sedation medication with a very short half-life........" I wonder where...

  16. Propofol question

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

    It's like taking a fully qualified Cessna pilot and dropping them into the cockpit of an F-16. Expect

  17. HR 5688 Act

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

    Amen to that. Protecting themselves from CRNAs, PAs, NPs, CNMs, PTs, Podiatrists, Optometrists, and all those other 'non-physician' charlatans. Transparency Act indeed -- transparent greed. When...

  18. HR 5688 Act

  19. Got a wild hair, would just like some information...

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

    OK, MM. Try waking up tomorrow, opening the Yellow Pages, and making an appointment with a counselor. If ... IF ... you are living with a husband who has another woman on the side, you need some...

  20. Myn in OB

    BUMP........ Ms

  21. Myn in OB

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

    You're correct, gp. I too would appreciate knowing where this bit of disinformation originated. NO STATE to the best of my knowledge has any such restriction, and I'm frankly surprised to see a...

  22. prescriptive authority

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

    Not only offices, Ma'am. Many CRNAs in the rural ASCs and hospitals of America do their own billing as independent providers of anesthesia, and they also obtain, when indicated, their own DEA...

  23. The business of being a CRNA

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

    It is not too late for you to renounce the dark side and become a CRNA!

  24. AANA Annual Convention attire

    deepz replied to midwestsrna1's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    No. And then yes. Depends on context. Daily CME lectures are often very informal, the Formal Banquet (duh) sees some folks in actual ball gowns and tuxes (those on the podium) and the rest, well,...

  25. How would you manage this airway?

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

    In your circumstances at that time, Mike, a cric was the right thing to do. However, as gp says, you'll see why (after you've become a CRNA and have done five or ten thousand DLs) 'intubate the blood...
