  1. aa's

    There is a job on gasswork.com in D.C. paying 120K-130K I guess they can already practice there. I have read the posts saying that Ohio and Georgia have lower CRNA pay due to AAs, how low is it?...
  2. aa's

    Are you counting your undergrad loans also? That is alot of money for a 2.5 year
  3. AA question

    If a CRNA can operate independently, and run there own practice, if it possible for them to have AAs working under them? Or do they strictly have to work for an
  4. AA question

    Back to my earlier question, how many of the people on this board work with AAs? Can you relate your personal experiences please? Does anyone see the AMA pushing for the removal of CRNA as a...
  5. I would tend to believe that the increase in seats in CRNA programs are a much bigger threat to the future economic rewards than the AA issue. Did I read it on this board or another one, but...
  6. AA question

    Does anyone know if the AAs have a discusion board like this one? And what the URL
  7. AA question

    Does anyone know how training for a CRNA and an AA differ? I am aware that the AA program does not require a nursing degree before entering, but one they are in, what do they do? Also I have seen...
  8. AA question

    Here we go on another AA train. I wonder if the AA boards have the same number of resuring questions about
  9. I think that the right to sue is important, and if you are going to sue for punitive damages it need to be for an amount that will impact the ones at fault. But If the punitive judgment went into a...
  10. Please do not read any hidden meaning or agenda into this question. Do you feel that currently CRNAs are paid a fair wage for there job, taking into consideration the amount of money that the...
  11. For the record, in no way would I want my anesthesia provider to be making under 100K a year. It is a fact that more times than not, you get what you pay for. I also believe that a professional...
  12. I think fair is a valid question. If market pressure dictated 25K a year for a skilled position that had tremendous life or death consequences ever day, I would call that not a fair wage. The...
  13. Does anyone on here know what the cost of becoming a doctor is in a country with socialized healthcare? Or what a physician or nurse makes in those countries? I am assuming it is elevated over the...
  14. If the insurance companies and doctors would stop the escalating war between what is charges, and what is paid we might not need a socialized plan. But the price of medical care has reached a point...
  15. Roland, did you have to go ahead and inject the "Abortion issue" into this discussion? Even if peripheral. And lets not forget that freedom of speech allows you to say what you want without going to...
  16. My understanding (and I may be wrong) is that AAs work independently during surgery, but there must be a MDA on site somewhere. Does the MDA end up micromanaging the entire procedure? I know that the...
  17. Why is there such a bitter relationship between the CRNA and AA community? The number of AAs appears to be so small that they are not worth the amount of attention that they receive. Is there a...
  18. Prescriptions

    Great links,
  19. I am assuming that CRNAs can prescribe class II and III drugs, how else do they put the patient under. But is there license to extended to the follow-up pain management for a procedure? Are their...
  20. Prescriptions

    Great links,
  21. I too was looking into the two areas. There are a number of old posts about this subject. In my oppinion the bottom line is that if you already have the qualifications to be accepted into CRNA it...
  22. FYI, when I was looking into going the AA route insted of CRNA I got this info for those programs. Ohio and georgia were about the same at $1080 per credit hour with 64 hours needed, and the program...
  23. First I guess I need to self identify: BSN 1st year student. No CRNA experience (yet) Now on to my questions: Is it ethical for a CRNA with a PhD to introduce themselves as Doctor Xxxx to a patient?...
  24. How many programs use animal experimentation for practice? I know it is not exactly the same, but I thought some programs did some.
  25. With the price of medical care exploding, and the changing political climate, reforms look to be on there way. IF the government does take a firmer grasp on the national healthcare system will it...
