  1. General Anesthesia Linked to Language Problems in Children

    msn10 replied to wtbcrna's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Funny, I thought this site was called "Allnurses" The "walk and talk" here is research. I am qualified in that respect. I did not, at any time, talk about delivering an anesthetic, I talked about the...

  2. General Anesthesia Linked to Language Problems in Children

    msn10 replied to wtbcrna's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Walk what walk? That of research? Walked down that path quite a bit. What don't I understand? Developmental delays in children? I do not believe anyone on this thread is an expert in that field so no...

  3. General Anesthesia Linked to Language Problems in Children

    msn10 replied to wtbcrna's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I didn't say it was in that specific area, but I do research. I was trying to say that I disagreed with the process of the study. It should have been a before and after, not a comparative study to...

  4. General Anesthesia Linked to Language Problems in Children

    msn10 replied to wtbcrna's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    And you have never done research, if I remember correctly. I don't mean the kind you do in school under the guidance of your professor, I mean the kind in which you have to canvass the ORSP office,...

  5. Where are all those desperate new grads?

    msn10 replied to JeanettePNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    COMPLETELY agree. I understand that moving can be risky, but when you are young and without a family, I cannot believe how many of these new grads say there are "no jobs" out there when there are....

  6. General Anesthesia Linked to Language Problems in Children

    msn10 replied to wtbcrna's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    That was and was not my point. I am saying that in healthcare, we should try and look at other alternatives besides surgery. There will never be a perfect drug for everyone, and there will never be a...

  7. General Anesthesia Linked to Language Problems in Children

    msn10 replied to wtbcrna's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I agree. I read the article as well, and what is not readily identified in many of theses types of articles is why the child is getting surgery. Most healthy children never need surgery. Sure there...

  8. Do I have what it takes to become a CRNA?

    msn10 replied to cdbranch13's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    As an educator and an APN I would like to congratulate you on a great first step - grade cognizance. Few young people (and many older ones) do not have a professional development plan or the foresight...

  9. New grads shouldn't work in ICU?

    msn10 replied to Kayla2013's topic in Critical Care

    Being a successful nurse in an ICU is not an independent adventure. Your success in an ICU is almost completely dependent on the support you have. You could be a rockstar student, but by virtue of the...

  10. Why do anesthesiologists make more than CRNAs?

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

    "working" in a variety of settings is also interesting to me. Why so many moves? Also, I have to agree with jwk on the fact that MD's do not need to be in every room at the same time. We have 3 MD's...

  11. Nursing students and immaturity

    msn10 replied to Melanin's topic in General Students

    I agree you have to talk to the men first, however, as a nursing instructor, I can assure you that your school has some type of policy in place that deals with this behavior. Yes, the next time you...

  12. Puzzled... Pulseless VTac to v-fib but no shock?

    msn10 replied to RunninOnCoffee's topic in MICU, SICU

    Since protocols change almost every year, it can be difficult for physicians and experienced nurses to keep up with and remember all the changes. Another challenge is that docs don't need to certify...

  13. Exploring other jobs after 6 months

    msn10 replied to HeartNursing3's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I agree with Viva, I would not take on an employee who only worked in an area for 6 months. At least a year, but to be honest, it takes almost 2 years to become a competent RN and when working with...

  14. AANA urges Medicare to consider hospital anesthesiology efficiency measures

    msn10 replied to wtbcrna's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    No, I am not a CRNA, but we are all RN's and you have no idea what my experiences have been with physicians. Harassment, abuse, and degradation are not specific to the CRNA/MD relationship. I have...

  15. AANA urges Medicare to consider hospital anesthesiology efficiency measures

    msn10 replied to wtbcrna's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Well then you made my point. No Anesthesiologist is going to work for 'free' and not see patients who would pay them, unless they were salaried MD's in a teaching hospital, in which case, they receive...

  16. AANA urges Medicare to consider hospital anesthesiology efficiency measures

    msn10 replied to wtbcrna's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    You looked at the faculty breakdown? How do you know they are clearing that much? Again, I am not saying that programs aren't profitable, they are, but they are profitable for other reasons than...

  17. AANA urges Medicare to consider hospital anesthesiology efficiency measures

    msn10 replied to wtbcrna's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Then what are their profit

  18. AANA urges Medicare to consider hospital anesthesiology efficiency measures

    msn10 replied to wtbcrna's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    First of all there is an average of about a 5% charge that the university charges per program for costs of operating then there are: Recruitment costs Admissions personnel costs Operating costs of the...

  19. AANA urges Medicare to consider hospital anesthesiology efficiency measures

    msn10 replied to wtbcrna's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Every program has to be profitable, otherwise a university would not provide the program. However, SRNA programs are not "cash cows." That would insinuate that SRNA programs trump all other programs....

  20. AANA urges Medicare to consider hospital anesthesiology efficiency measures

    msn10 replied to wtbcrna's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Cash cows? What universities are you referring to? Do you have research on that? I would love to pass it along to our Dean - and I am being totally serious - no snark. Unless you are talking about...

  21. AANA urges Medicare to consider hospital anesthesiology efficiency measures

    msn10 replied to wtbcrna's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Medical Students pay the majority of their own eduction as well. Trust me, paying back $250,000 in loans was not fun or easy. Additionally, residents get paid almost a nominal fee for working in...

  22. AANA urges Medicare to consider hospital anesthesiology efficiency measures

    msn10 replied to wtbcrna's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Who's costs are you referring to? If you are in the military than you are subsidized by taxpayer money. Our university has 7 DNP programs. The cost to go from NP to DNP was significant and the...

  23. AANA urges Medicare to consider hospital anesthesiology efficiency measures

    msn10 replied to wtbcrna's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Let me clarify - I was referring to WTBCRAN's comment about CMS. The hospitals receive the money from Medicare.

  24. AANA urges Medicare to consider hospital anesthesiology efficiency measures

    msn10 replied to wtbcrna's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    2 of the 3 references are a bit too old to be correct now, but as more CRNA training programs are going DNP, the costs are rising significantly. Furthermore, the anesthesia department of the medical...

  25. AANA urges Medicare to consider hospital anesthesiology efficiency measures

    msn10 replied to wtbcrna's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    To jwk and the CRNA's According to: An Analysis of the Labor Markets for Anesthesiology RAND Health report, 2010 Urban * 95% anesthesiologists * 44% CRNAs Rural * 56% CRNAs * 5% anesthesiologists...
