  2. Sedation by non-anesthesia personel

    forane2001 replied to NeuroNP's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Yeah, ER docs push the drugs and miss the airway or tear the cuff and call anesthesia to clean up the

  3. Do you have any anesthesia helpers?

    forane2001 replied to Laughing Gas's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I am glad this topic was introduced. My facility is saturated with this type of mentality, so much that I have considered leaving. CRNA's are often "dumbed-down by other OR staff" Comments like"...

  4. "CRNA being told they are "just a nurse"

    forane2001 posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Crna's out there: How would you feel and respond to the phrase" you are just a nurse too". My place of employment is shall I say "less than respectful" to CRNA's. All too often the aforementioned...

    forane2001 replied to forane2001's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    NO this is funny RN=$50000 per year CRNA=$200000+ per year Thats where the emphasis comes in

  6. "CRNA being told they are "just a nurse"

    forane2001 replied to forane2001's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Thanks piper for your understanding post. I am an advanced practice nurse. I hold a degree in anesthesiology and that is what I practice, not bedside nursing. Sorry, but that is how I feel....

  7. "CRNA being told they are "just a nurse"

    forane2001 replied to forane2001's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Your right it is a CRNA forum. Would the anesthesiologist been handed the cloth to clean the patient? I think not! That doesnt happen in the real world. I felt like this situation was an attempt to...

  8. Become A Nurse Just To Be A Crna?

    forane2001 replied to SKYSTHELIMIT's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    It takes the right caliber person to be a CRNA. The requirements may say min of 1 year but most have several years experience. Admissions is tough. No cakewalk and it may take more that one...

  9. Become A Nurse Just To Be A Crna?

    forane2001 replied to SKYSTHELIMIT's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    What about CRNA's that are told they are "just a nurse". How would that make you feel. One day I had my wallet out looking for a note that I had written and one of the scrubs in the room said "There...

  10. Anesthesia Techs placing lines

    forane2001 replied to bwt02's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Why don't we just ask the Walmart greeter come up and do lines, epidurals, and IV's. At my hospital I think they get new hires by standing on the corner and passing out applications. I appreciate...

  11. Be-littling CRNA's

    forane2001 posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Just wondering how many CRNA's feel put down in their job-especially by ancillary staff (scrub tecks,(lol) circulators, and PACU RNS I love being a CRNA and like all of you I worked extremely hard...

  13. Be-littling CRNA's

    forane2001 replied to forane2001's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Thanks Big Dave, I think for now I will just document the incident in my own file and have it ready in case something else pops up. It would not be appropriate to bring this topic up in front of the...

    forane2001 replied to forane2001's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  15. Be-littling CRNA's

    forane2001 replied to forane2001's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I dont mind to help out but it really annoys me especially in the OR actions such as tieing everybody up and hanging irrigation and raising the bed or moving this or that. (Hello people, I have a job...

  16. MD referring to CRNA as 'support staff'

    forane2001 replied to kestrel1121's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    yes dixie di. if you are ever named in a lawsuit see where the buck stops!!! Crna's are delivering anesthesia. with or without an MDA around. I have a friend that works in a hospital with 3 crnas...

  17. What can I do with my BSN that Assoc. RN's can't?

    forane2001 replied to doodlebug914's topic in General Nursing

    I did an ADN degree and worked as RN while I finished my BSN. Then went on to CRNA school. A BSN registered nurse in the eyes of the hospital and staff is just another nurse. Dont expect to be...

  18. Here's what AAs really think of CRNAs

    forane2001 replied to Athlein1's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    :rotfl: That is laughable. She is a nurse that is resentful of CRNA's or probably wanted to do anesthesia and was too lazy to go to school or could not get in!!! .....(edited TOS. Karen) You deserve...

  19. anesthetist vs anesthesiologist

    forane2001 replied to caffine's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Anesthetist is a registered nurse. anesthesiologist is a medical doctor. We do the same job. The nurse anesthetist has the same responsibility and liability as the MDA(anesthesiologist.) Keep in...

  20. CRNA To MD

    forane2001 replied to rigor0313's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    With the current market in anesthesia, it would make little sense for a CRNA to go back to school to become MDA. First, you would have a lost income approaching $ 1.0-1.5 million for the 8 yr period....
