On the anesthesia records at the facility where I was trained & where I worked for several years, the spaces reserved for signatures had ________________________ CRNA ________________________ MDA Obviously, our MDAs did not feel it is derogatory.

awesome. thanks!

Good for KY! Now 1/3 of all states have opted out! I hope Arkansas will opt out in the near future. I live in Arkansas, work in a community hospital and no MD or DO signs my anesthesia record or behind me when I write orders (r/t anesthesia). Sever...

the nurse, who sends them to the lab for analysis

There are 6 anesthesia providers where I work (5 CRNAs & 1 MD). We perform 90% of the LPs at our facility. There are a cpl of Drs who do them, but most will not even attempt. I work without MDA supervision. The MDA is my boss, but he does his...

I am a CRNA and previously received the Anesthesia Safety Foundation Newsletter in the mail. I didn't subscribe to this, but I know that the AANA is listed as one of their major donors so thought my membership might have something to do with receivi...

You might want to think about attending the ASU nursing. I graduated in 03 & was accepted into a very competitive CRNA program the following year & am now a CRNA so it's obviously a good program.

ASU or stAte has a really good nuring program...it's the largest in Arkansas. I graduated in 03 & am now a CRNA.

I just took my boards. I took 90 questions, but am nervous/anxious to see my results. How long did it take you to get your results? BTW, I think it's kinda ridiculous that the results aren't immmediately available as they are w/the GRE.

Well, I actually received by results on the 23rd. I saw that my results had made it to my town, but FedEx wasn't going to deliver them because I didn't pay the extra money for Sat. delivery so I went to the FedEx station & they gave them to me.....

I'm tracking mine on the fedex website & i'm not getting mine until the 26th:sniff: . I was really wanting to know the results before christmas.

I 100% agree about the valley class...can definately be missed w/out consequence. As far as the books, I think the MM is better than the sweat book, but both are pretty helpful. I studied through both of them only once...i didn't just blaze through...

I just spoke w/a friend of mine who received her results on Dec. 27th last yr so I don't think the CCNA is closed until NewYears.

Please do not misunderstand, I'm really not that upset about the current system. I just htink that it could be much better. They state numerous times not to call and even change of address information must be faxed rather than by phone or on the in...

Let me just preface this post by saying that this is JMHO & most posters will probably disagree. Just some advice... I just took boards yesterday. I attended Valley & had the sweat book & memory master. If I had it to do all over, I wo...

I was 22 when i graduated w/my BSN. I just graduated w/masters in nurse anesthesia and am 25, but will be 26 in about a wk.

Well, just b/c they tell you if you pass or fail doesn't mean that you have your license. They could show you preliminary results & then give you your official results later. I also understand not wanting ppl viewing their results at the testin...

If you cannot see a difference, then you must be blind. When administering anesthesia for a woman to have a D&C, you are giving the anesthesia to HELP the woman remain in a comfortable state during the procedure. If the woman is undergoing an e...

Good Post...I agree!

Whatever your opinions of Pres. Clinton are, he was & is very Pro-CRNA. His mother was a CRNA in Hot Springs, AR.

I'm a TX Wesleyan RRNA. At my cliinical site, I have had some of the MDA's introduce me as a Resident Nurse Anesthetist or Nurse Anesthesia Resident, as well as Nurse Anesthesia student, but usually it's this is __________, he's part of the anesthes...

Your Governor, Bill Richardson, is very cool. I wish he would've ran for President last year!:)

I have an interview scheduled at Arkansas State Univ. on March 27th...just wondering if anyone else has an interview scheduled at ASU? Also, does anyone know how their interview process works or what questions they ask? I have heard that the NA dir...

I would buy a laptop, hold off on the PDA until clinicals start, & take an organic chem class or organic biochem class this summer as I heard from my classmates who took the online class that it was only helpful for the 1st few wks of class which...

I also attend TWU. Upon completion, you will be receive: M.S.N.A. Master of Science in Nurse Anesthesia. You're correct. It's not a MSN....if i were it would probably be Master of Science in Nursing with a nurse anesthesia option.
