  1. Why aren't we unionized?

    jwk replied to leslieanne's topic in General Nursing

    Sure you do. My point is that everyone knows (or should) going in what nursing compensation is like. Why would anyone choose a profession without knowing whether or not they can support themselves...

  2. Why aren't we unionized?

    jwk replied to leslieanne's topic in General Nursing

    So you weren't aware of incomes in the nursing profession before you got in? That's not real smart planning.And let's get real - there are large areas of the country where there are no nursing unions,...

  4. Here's what AAs really think of CRNAs

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

    Deepz, are CRNA's able to go in and aggressively challenge the policy in a case like this based on an anti-trust or restraint of trade argument? Are cases such as this simply too expensive to attempt...

  5. Here's what AAs really think of CRNAs

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

    Issues of licensure and scope of practice have always been left up to the individual states, and I doubt that will

  6. Here's what AAs really think of CRNAs

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

    No insecurities or anxieties here. Feel free to make direct answers to the questions I posed if you return. And the only bashing was the statement about CRNA's that don't know anything about AA's but...

    jwk replied to CCU NRS's topic in General Nursing

    Ah, a voice of reason. If you're dead, and you're atheist, you won't know anyway, right? At least in your mind. So there's no harm in what WE do. If there's no harm in what we do after you've died,...

  8. Here's what AAs really think of CRNAs

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

    Sure you are! Finally, in your 3rd AA-bashing post, you admit it.Here is the only CRNA bashing you'll ever see me do, so make sure you get this: Virtually every CRNA that criticizes/bashes AA's has...

  9. Here's what AAs really think of CRNAs

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

    as if you don't. so you're saying that aa's have no body of knowledge? gee, why did i take all those medical school physiology classes and all that pharmacology stuff?and wait - did i hear a crna say...

  10. Here's what AAs really think of CRNAs

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

    Oh god, where do I begin? Maybe you should read all 27 pages - it will enlighten you significantly. Much of this has been discussed ad nauseum. So MD's and AA's are only techs because they don't...

  12. Offended by Prayer

    jwk replied to CCU NRS's topic in General Nursing

    Gee whiz, that's the first thing I look at on a patient's chart when they code - it is absolutely critical that I know their religious affiliation or lack thereof before proceeding with any type of...

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

    Read his quote again. IN GEORGIA, AA's are licensed as PA's. That's the way it was first set up 35 years ago and remains so to this day. Every PA licensed in Georgia has a specific job description on...

  14. Offended by Prayer

    jwk replied to CCU NRS's topic in General Nursing

    It's not a personal attack and it's not an assumption - I just find it interesting that people often pull big, uncommonly used words out of their hat when trying to make a point. And I'll fully stand...

  15. Offended by Prayer

    jwk replied to CCU NRS's topic in General Nursing

    Trust me, I am being nice - you don't want me to get started on my true opinions about the atheists and agnostics and whose rights have been trampled

    jwk replied to CCU NRS's topic in General Nursing

    Amentia? How long did you search for that word? Get a

  17. Offended by Prayer

    jwk replied to CCU NRS's topic in General Nursing

    This is from your original comment:"I believe the boundary between church and secular hospital has be be as solid as it's is supposed to be between church and state." That's the statement I have a...

  18. propofol

    jwk replied to jackieliz's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    Y'all don't know what you don't know. That's what makes propofol such a potentially dangerous drug and why the manufacturer states that is for use by anesthesia personnel only or in mechanically...

  19. Offended by Prayer

    jwk replied to CCU NRS's topic in General Nursing

    That is a total load of crap! The Constitution speaks to freedom OF religion, not freedom FROM it. It totally amazes me that someone would be offended at someone else making a silent, totally...

  20. Medical Draft in National Emergency Still a Possibility?

    jwk replied to rninformatics's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    And the government routinely updates plans for ex-presidents' funerals as well. OMG, did you realize that 18 year old young men actually have to register with the Selective Service System? Oh wait,...

    jwk replied to smithh's topic in MICU, SICU

    1) It depends on the size of the bubble. A couple of little "micro-bubbles" in the tubing probably wouldn't dampen the waveform much, but one larger one, say one that actually goes across the full...

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

    So do you give Versed to a woman whom you know to be pregnant during their first trimester? Or do you not, just in case there IS a

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

    Fentanyl is OK at this stage. Propofol is not approved for use in pregnancy, but lots of places use it anyway. The main problem drug she received is Versed. It is contraindicated, particularly in...
