2. Does it bother CRNA's that MDA's get so much more...?

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

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

   I understand why a MDA gets paid more than a CRNA even for the same job with the same outcomes across the board. I believe MDAs have different experiences and thus bring different views into practice...

   Chaserr replied to Jarl Redbeard's topic in Men in Nursing

   I work in an ICU where all the men have some sort of beard and we wear the papr respirator with TB patients - NBD. Also if your institution can't provide a papr in a timely manner before you are...

9. I made a big mistake

   Chaserr replied to Birdy2's topic in Patient Safety Issues

   What you SHOULD have done was requesting a STAT chest xray and worry about his pneumo getting larger or maybe an ABG to see if he was retaining CO2? SpO2 and pCO2 do not have an inverse...

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

    I believe a lot of people are misunderstood in this forum about the role of the CRNA and what the future holds. I believe it is a state by state basis, but there are CRNA independent groups to where...
