    Thanks for the information. Any insight into the isurance

  2. More Fights between CRNA's and AA's?

    user69 replied to Sheri257's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    If the restrictions are so undesirable, then why do CRNAs work in "team care settings"? It has been established many times over that they can work independantly and that there is huge demand for...

  3. Why don't CRNA's like AA's

    user69 replied to ep71's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I wonder if this argument would have ever come up if they had made it where AAs were supervised by MDA or

  4. More Fights between CRNA's and AA's?

    user69 replied to Sheri257's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    i am not a lawyer or practicing crna for help me out here. where does it say that an aa is not legally allowed to spinals epidurals or swanz? again i am not a crna so do not fully understand the...

  5. More Fights between CRNA's and AA's?

    user69 replied to Sheri257's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I am so tired of hearing the argument that this is about patient safety. The argument is about protectionism. And I feel that it is the CRNA;s best interest to pursue the elimination of any new...

  6. More Fights between CRNA's and AA's?

    user69 replied to Sheri257's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    that is my exact point. you quote a statute for a single state and mention that you assume that the georgia rules are the same even though it was stated earlier in the forum that georgia licenses aas...

  7. More Fights between CRNA's and AA's?

    user69 replied to Sheri257's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    How many of the members of this board know what AA's do based on facts and not based on the hype put forth by both sides of the argument? It only takes reading a few posts to realize that there is...

  8. Why don't CRNA's like AA's

    user69 replied to ep71's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    i thought that the push was for expanded practice, not to stay at the status quo. that is why so much lobby power has been thrown behind the opt out options for

  9. CRNA Contracts

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

    I know from talking to friends as the MCG program, that they start getting most of the offers at the end of the first year. That is when the "free weekends", dinners, and parties start for serious...

  10. Here's what AAs really think of CRNAs

    user69 replied to Athlein1's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    With the large number of nurses and the fact that most make a good salary, there should be a lot of votes and cash that can lobby on issues. How does nursing lobby stack up against the doctor's money...

  11. Here's what AAs really think of CRNAs

    user69 replied to Athlein1's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Well said Lizz. Without some proof on outcomes that shows a difference between an AA with 2.5 years of medical training and a CRNA with 5+ years of training it can easily be turned on you. Your...

    user69 replied to Athlein1's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    did you really just compare mdas to pedophiles? i can see you read the book how to win friends and influence people. have to applied for a position on the aana lobbing

  13. Here's what AAs really think of CRNAs

    user69 replied to Athlein1's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    is it a new record that we have reached 13 pages in two days? the thread only started at 05-03-2004, 10:20

  14. Here's what AAs really think of CRNAs

    user69 replied to Athlein1's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I have an idea on how the AANA can stop the whole model of an "Anesthesia Team" where the MDA "sits in his office and "checks the stock ticker". If evry CRNA refused to work for an MDA and only...

  15. Here's what AAs really think of CRNAs

    user69 replied to Athlein1's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Athomas91, I am confused by your message. First you say that "they" (I guess you mean the MDAs) are flooding the market with AAs but It has been established on this thread that there are only two...

  16. Here's what AAs really think of CRNAs

    user69 replied to Athlein1's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    are you suggesting that the money spent by the aa students (in 2001 emory's web site says that is 62k) should be taken away form the aas and used to support the crna educational system? or are you...

  17. Here's what AAs really think of CRNAs

    user69 replied to Athlein1's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Just a few quick points/questions. If AAs have been around for 30 years, has this argument been raging that entire time? Shouldn't the lobby power been used to stop AAs before they were established...

  18. Here's what AAs really think of CRNAs

    user69 replied to Athlein1's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    ncgirl, i think that the term "anesthetist" is probably the best for letting the patient know what the professional does. i do not think that the term "anesthesia nurse" is particularly flattering....

    user69 replied to Athlein1's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    deepz, are you dealing with some kind of complex about the title? are you not an 'anesthesia nurse'? what part of the title do you not fit into? the nurse part or the anesthesia part? i think that is...

    Thanks for the

  21. Scope of work

    user69 posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Here is a question for the practicing CRNAs. Once you graduate with your CRNA cert, are you ever asked to perform "nursing duties" if the pre/post op is shorthanded? Or are you expected to just...

  22. anesthetist vs anesthesiologist

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

    I just wanted to make a quick interjection about a recent comment. Do you really think that any doctors got into med school with just a BA in Art or Music? The required Chem, O-Chem, Calc based...

  23. aa's

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

    Thanks for posting the comparison between AAs and CRNAs. But one thing looked a bit off. It said that one third of all practicing CRNAs do not have an undergraduate degree. Can that be
