  1. They did a c-section without anesthesia

    jwk replied to Mrs.S's topic in Ob/Gyn

    An epidural is NOT anywhere close to being as innocuous as an IV or an art line. There's a lot of difference between a little phlebitis from poor sterile technique with an IV and poor technique with...

    He stole the epidural tray, just like he stole the

  3. They did a c-section without anesthesia

    jwk replied to Mrs.S's topic in Ob/Gyn

    If you place it, you manage it. Finish what you start. It has nothing to do with revenue. What happens when there is a complication? You think the anesthesia provider wants to manage problems with an...

  4. They did a c-section without anesthesia

    jwk replied to Mrs.S's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Doing a C-Section without any type of anesthesia is barbaric. Period. The fact that this patient didn't jump off the table with the skin incision indicates that the epidural probably was working to...

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

  6. They did a c-section without anesthesia

    jwk replied to Mrs.S's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You're kidding, right? There are areas of the country where a single CRNA might cover 5 rural hospitals in 5 different counties. There are still areas of the country where an FP delivers babies...

  10. CRNAs and 40-Hour Weeks

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

    Personally, I think if you come out of school expecting a 40-hr work week, you have picked the wrong

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

    Most of the CRNA programs 25 years ago were still certificate programs, did not require a BSN, and did not require a year of critical care. Just within a few hours of where I am now, certificate...

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

    Just about any doc (especially residents) in any specialty are staffing ER's around the country. They all have a standard base of medical training that enables them to do this - I'm not saying it's...

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

    You don't find the expression "mid-level" used much when dealing with the public. It's more in professional situations/discussions. You wouldn't introduce yourself as John Smith, Mid-Level Nurse...

  17. Jobs in Georgia?

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

    Don't know about south of Atlanta. The hospital in Cumming is owned by Northside Hospital and covered by a very large private group that also covers Northside-Atlanta. There are other hospitals...

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

    jwk replied to Nupe4sleep's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Are you married to your current employer? If not, CHANGE! There are 1000's of anesthesia jobs out there - far too many to remain in a crappy position for any length of

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

    Do y'all realize you're posting on a thread that went on for years, thankfully went dead for 6 months, and you are now replying to posts that may have been made YEARS ago? The above post is a perfect...

  24. Non anesthesia provider providing anesthesia

    jwk replied to EMS/ICU/SRNA's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Thanks for proving my point. "Nurses trained in airway management". Same argument the GI docs use. And you're watching the patient, and the monitors, and doing your procedure? Nah, don't think so....

  25. Non anesthesia provider providing anesthesia

    jwk replied to EMS/ICU/SRNA's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    No thanks - I'll pass on your pain clinic. Even if you're an anesthesiologist, you're using non-anesthesia personnel to administer the drugs and monitor your patient while your attention is focused...
