   CRNA are nurses, nothing more, nothing less. Expecting a surgeon to safely supervise a CRNA is unsafe; ergo you have an unsupervised nurse doing anesthesia unless you have an anesthesiologist

   stan-you are pretty funny; sad but funny nonetheless. It's obvious that you are insecure in your nursing job; as are a few CRNA who tout their abilities as "equal" to an anesthesiologsit. That...

   The difference is that your "research" is nursing-driven drivel.............If you want an unsupervised nurse doing your anesthetic, feel free too do

   I must have had an awesome doc and nurses for my c-scope; I didn't get any drugs and it wasn't bad at all. After one of our primary care docs had long-term memory loss after a c-scope with Versed, I...

   I don't know about Admirals, Generals etc, but none of the physicians in my department would want an nurse administering their anesthesia unless the nurse was supervised by an anesthesiologist...and...

   backscatter replied to MONEJA783's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    once again, you need to read my comment. if you think that a nurse/crna is "equal" to an anesthesiologist, I disagree with you. many would say that you have a problem with reality testing. I don't...

    Comparing the abilities and training of an anesthesiologist to a CRNA is a bit silly. I work with a lot of CRNA and not one of them thinks that they are equal in any way, shape of form to an...
