  1. Anesthesiologists being replaced by CRNAs???

    in2b8ix2b8 replied to MONEJA783's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Every time I administer an anesthetic, patient safety is my sole focus; thank you for your reminder to 'focus on patient safety', though, your reminder is quite unnecessary! Good patient outcomes,...

  2. Anesthesiologists being replaced by CRNAs???

    in2b8ix2b8 replied to MONEJA783's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    "A few misguided CRNAs seem to think that they can 'work solo'"...Let me be the bearer of bad news: thousands of CRNAs DO work solo, and no, it's not dangerous, as studies show that we 'get away with...

  3. Anesthesiologists being replaced by CRNAs???

    in2b8ix2b8 replied to MONEJA783's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Semantics and presentation are all the MDAs (some hate being called MDAs, by the way! hehehe:lol2:, they are an M.D. just like a CT surgeon is, no need to differentiate with the 'A', so they grumble)...

  4. Anesthesiologists being replaced by CRNAs???

    in2b8ix2b8 replied to MONEJA783's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    The facilities (and there are MANY!) that credential and grant CRNAs privileges don't agree with you! You look like a complete goof when you say 'we all know that'...By the way, who is 'we all'? If...

  5. Anesthesiologists being replaced by CRNAs???

    in2b8ix2b8 replied to MONEJA783's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    LOL...please define 'properly supervised'....is it proper supervision when the ologist is in the office on the computer, or even outside going for a jog??? Also, it has already been proven that all...

  6. Anesthesiologists being replaced by CRNAs???

    in2b8ix2b8 replied to MONEJA783's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    This 'real nurse's' privileges (according to the medical staff credentialing committee)are as follows: Administer general anesthetic; administer regional anesthetic including spinal, epidural, ankle...

  7. Anesthesiologists being replaced by CRNAs???

    in2b8ix2b8 replied to MONEJA783's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Patients are clueless...that's like letting them make the decision that they want a Johnson and Johnson total knee rather than a Zimmer knee because they have 'heard of Johnson and

  8. Anesthesiologists being replaced by CRNAs???

    in2b8ix2b8 replied to MONEJA783's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Obviously you are incorrect. Tell that to the multitude of medical staff credentialing committees that grant privileges to CRNAs to work solo. If you did your homework, you would see rather that...

  9. Anesthesiologists being replaced by CRNAs???

    in2b8ix2b8 replied to MONEJA783's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I did a locums assignment in CA where a world renowned surgeon is on staff. He said that he prefers CRNAs over anesthesiologists. Guess what? There are NO anesthesiologists at that hospital because...

  10. Anesthesiologists being replaced by CRNAs???

    in2b8ix2b8 replied to MONEJA783's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    What is something that a CRNA 'couldn't handle'? If you say airway, I have seen MDAs who couldn't intubate; if you say complex hemodynamic management, that's 2nd nature to a CRNA because of our ICU...

  11. How do CRNAs/SRNAs benefit anesthesiology residents?

    in2b8ix2b8 replied to HawaiiRN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    My comment concerns the improved safety of anesthesia over the last 100 years: Improved drugs and monitoring! Can you imagine dropping ether and not having pulse oximetry or the other 'standard'...

  12. CRNA VS anesthesiologist MD

    in2b8ix2b8 replied to chrisciwi's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    You are incorrect on a few points: CRNAs do not have to work under an MD/anesthesiologist. I work as a solo CRNA. As a credentialed member of the medical staff of several hospitals, I have been...

  13. Why Do Anesthesiologists Despise CRNA's?

    in2b8ix2b8 replied to DermNP2Be's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    BRAVO GregRN! You elucidated the foolishness of the previous argument of what does and doesn't constitute 'education' based on if one is drawing a salary or not. I am a CRNA and shared my cardiac...

  14. Anesthesiologists being replaced by CRNAs???

    in2b8ix2b8 replied to MONEJA783's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Your comments stem from pure ignorance. Get out and see how CRNAs function solo...and check their outcomes...facts and data are something you haven't seemed to have checked. As a physician,...

  15. Anesthesiologists being replaced by CRNAs???

    in2b8ix2b8 replied to MONEJA783's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I don't feel the need to be or not be equal with anyone! An anesthesiologist is not the gold standard for an excellent anesthesia provider. I am a vigilant anesthesia provider and I can give just...

  16. CRNA Jobs?

    in2b8ix2b8 replied to sunshineintheforest's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Jobs are very tight right now as many new anesthesia schools have popped up and are cranking out CRNAs like a puppy mill. I am a CRNA and don't have steady work right now...NEVER thought I'd be in...

  17. Anesthesiologists being replaced by CRNAs???

    in2b8ix2b8 replied to MONEJA783's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    First of all, I agree that possessing an M.D. degree doesn't make anyone inherently superior with regard to the administration of anesthesia. Really, how much cell biology, histology, biochemical...
