  1. How do you really feel about AA and would you go that route now if you could do over?

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

    This is complete and total BS. I can categorically state with 100% certainty that no graduate of an accredited AA program has EVER gone back to be trained as a

    georgia_aa replied to Outdoor1's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Very simple. We take the jobs in the cities working with the anesthesiologists, thereby freeing you guys up to take the jobs in the underserved rural areas. You don't want to work under MDA...

    georgia_aa replied to Alpha13's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Where did you get the statistic that complications are occuring in 1% of AA cases???? That is an outrageous fabrication. Where is your data to support the notion that the public is at risk?? It is a...

    georgia_aa replied to Alpha13's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Umm.... Okay...not exactly a scathing indictment of the AA profession, but if it really happened I see that as nothing more than you coming across a slack AA student. Maybe she did not know you were...

    georgia_aa replied to Alpha13's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Cool Mike. New AA grads are brought along slowly in the ACT environment. Easy cases to start, lots of direct supervision. Over time, they become more independant and gravitate to the bigger more...

    georgia_aa replied to Alpha13's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    No, I am an AA who can do everything that a CRNA does (except bill for my services) and I was trained in 2 years. And I, unlike you have more insight into your profession than you have in mine since...

    georgia_aa replied to Alpha13's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    You get no argument from me on this. I have stated numerous times that the CRNA right out of school probably has an advantage over the new AA grad. But after 5 years you would not be able to tell them...

    georgia_aa replied to Alpha13's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Mike - thank you for the kind words in your earlier post. That being said, I take issue with your statement that ""AAs will never have this experience.." I, too, have coded many,many patients. I...

    And many AAs aren't nurses before beginning their anesthesia training and it doesn't seem to be affecting the level of care that THEY provide. So why are you right and I'm so wrong. OF COURSE, it's...

    We are not trying to close the gap. We don't want to take over the world. How many times and how many different ways do you need me to say it. While the AANA has as a major agenda the abolition of AAs...

  25. When would you use a longer IV cath?

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

    When placing an IV, you have to think not only about how that IV will function intra-op but post-op as well. If I'm cannulating the AC or an EJ I'll always use the longer catheter because I worry...
