  1. The problem with floating ER Nurses

    msn10 replied to crabalot's topic in Emergency

    Well that is just crazy. That is not a floating issue, it is a staffing issue. Instead of trying to find floating protocols/research, it sounds as if you could just focus on safe ER staffing levels....

  2. The problem with floating ER Nurses

    msn10 replied to crabalot's topic in Emergency

    Rural nurses do it all the time, and they have a much larger ratio (not number) of traumas. That is why they call the rural nurse a "generalist." Unfortunately for the purpose of your argument, most...

  3. Strange Story

    msn10 replied to PMFB-RN's topic in General Nursing

    I know Jane has a self-esteem problem, but c'mon dude, I hardly think getting a ICU RN to fill in at a nursing home is scraping the bottom!!

  4. MSN vs DNP and different nursing areas

    msn10 replied to Amandalabigang's topic in General Nursing

    If you really like research, then do your PhD. While the DNP is a doctorate, it is really designed for people who want to work in hospitals or clinics. There is a minimal amount of actual research as...

  5. Anti-CRNA website= such B.S.!!!!

    msn10 replied to ICU, RN, BSN, B.S.'s topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    OP: Also don't worry about website. It is a joke. Not only was my post challenging their facts removed, but the guy who runs the site appears to be in need of work. It looks more like a marketing ad...

  6. Anti-CRNA website= such B.S.!!!!

    msn10 replied to ICU, RN, BSN, B.S.'s topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I love the way the armed services does their training. 2 of my nephews are doing PA and CRNA training respectively (the PA did medic training and now he is at UW doing the rest for PA since he is out...

  7. Anti-CRNA website= such B.S.!!!!

    msn10 replied to ICU, RN, BSN, B.S.'s topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    http://ifna-int.org/ifna/page?69 Right hand side of page No, not at all. I just hate the animosity between CRNAs and MDs. I think we look quite sad when we say "we are just as well trained" and "we...

  8. Anti-CRNA website= such B.S.!!!!

    msn10 replied to ICU, RN, BSN, B.S.'s topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Possible but highly unlikely, especially with the competitiveness. I have never met an anesthesiologist without a Bachelors. I do have 2 CRNA's I work with that were not required to do a Masters...

  9. Scared of the docs!

    msn10 replied to SweetseRN's topic in General Nursing

    Being intimidated by docs and delegation are among the top fears of new nurses. The more confident you become as a nurse, the easier it will get for you. Do you have a preceptor/mentor/clinical...

  10. Anti-CRNA website= such B.S.!!!!

    msn10 replied to ICU, RN, BSN, B.S.'s topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Yes, but I think that defeats the argument. There are some candidates ( 130, they take classes like multivariable calculus and and linear algebra and getting bussed to the local university junior...

  11. CRNA or MDA

    msn10 replied to aroze's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I guess we will disagree. However, I am talking specifically about anesthesia. Look at any journal (Anesthesiology) and look at the research author's credentials. The last volume I saw had quite a few...

  12. Anti-CRNA website= such B.S.!!!!

    msn10 replied to ICU, RN, BSN, B.S.'s topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Again, just saying that CRNA's have less school. Not a big deal, just the facts. However, it is more than the "Doctors BYS" website gives them credit for. So I posted on their blog that they needed to...

  13. Anti-CRNA website= such B.S.!!!!

    msn10 replied to ICU, RN, BSN, B.S.'s topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    You are from Wisconsin. Which med school only requires 2 years??? MCW or UW? Same for residents. All American anesthesiologists have to do their residency in America as well. A CRNA can still do...

  14. Anti-CRNA website= such B.S.!!!!

    msn10 replied to ICU, RN, BSN, B.S.'s topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Although I didn't read the website, MD's require a great deal more. MD = 12-13 years Accreditation Council for Medical Education...

  15. Anti-CRNA website= such B.S.!!!!

    msn10 replied to ICU, RN, BSN, B.S.'s topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  16. RN vs NP vs DNP

    msn10 replied to Wrangler156's topic in Nursing Career

    Then you may want to re-think health care as a field. According to the latest IOM report, "all clinicians regardless of education should be treated as equal members of the health care team." We cannot...

  17. CRNA or MDA

    msn10 replied to aroze's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    PhD's with their MD's. Can't do most of the medical research without being a

  18. CRNA or MDA

    msn10 replied to aroze's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Who do you think writes the grants and does the research? Not to mention the donations to the med schools by past graduates. The last grant I wrote for was funded by the government, but we did all...

  19. CRNA or MDA

    msn10 replied to aroze's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Nurses and doctors developed a lot of things but I wouldn't use the same drugs/technologies they did a century ago. Who cares who invented it? That is also debatable. The first known anesthetic comes...

  20. CRNA or MDA

    msn10 replied to aroze's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Again, depends on who you ask. FP/NP, Midwife/OB, etc., all have similarities and historically the 'nursing' counterparts were practicing before the MD's were. Things have changed and our knowledge...

  21. CRNA or MDA

    msn10 replied to aroze's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Again, that depends on the area. Around here they hate the term and no one uses it. I understand specialists use additional acronyms, but they aren't changing the MD part of their title to...

  22. CRNA or MDA

    msn10 replied to aroze's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Very true. Anesthesiologists are MD's, not MDA's. A term that is not recognized by medical schools. You graduate with an MD, not MDA. Just like CRNA's have their own title. If you go to med school,...

  23. RN teacher failing students to "weed" them out?

    msn10 replied to xmissxscarlet09's topic in General Nursing

    As a nursing instructor, it bothers me to no end that a fellow instructor is trying to make things harder than they already are for you and your colleagues. Does this instructor have a degree in...

  24. O.R. cases for CRNA's vs. Anesthesiologists

    msn10 replied to ICU, RN, BSN, B.S.'s topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    At our facilities the MD's do the hearts, newborns, OB epidurals, and most traumas. CRNA's do the rest. Level I and

  25. Mandated Flu vaccine?

    msn10 replied to mol42's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Done arguing, all I said is I am wearing a mask, that should be my right. All the scenarios you gave are choices, and this is mine. Haven't had the flu or the shot in 10 years. You don't know how sick...
