  1. Doctors who aren't doctors?

    NeuroNP posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Along the lines of the Doctorate thread, it's my understanding that physicians who go to Med School overseas don't necessarily get a doctoral level degree. Isn't an MBBS a Bachelor's degree? If so,...

  2. Charge Nurses

    NeuroNP posted a topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    Do you use Charge Nurses on your unit? If so, what are their responsibilities? Do they carry patients as well? Who fills this

  3. Clinical Doctorate in Anesthsia

    NeuroNP replied to Lambert5883's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    one of my biggest complaints with nursing in general is the lack of consistancy when it comes to education. for this to be effective and for us to be taken seriously, there needs to be uniformity and...

  4. Clinical Doctorate in Anesthsia

    NeuroNP replied to Lambert5883's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Actually, some are still 3 with a Clinical BAse Year required before you start. That's why I said three years. Even with the four year residencies, it's the same amount of Anesthesia, just spread...

  5. Clinical Doctorate in Anesthsia

    NeuroNP replied to Lambert5883's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    OK, even 1100. That's still almost half what an MDA does in residency. I think if CRNAs (which I hope to be) are going to say, "We do the same job as MDAs, so we should have the same rights and pay"...

  6. Clinical Doctorate in Anesthsia

    NeuroNP replied to Lambert5883's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I didn't realize that the clinical caseload was so different! Well, that makes me understand a little more why MDAs feel they're better trained. I definitely think that CRNAs should up that...

  7. Duke CRNA

    NeuroNP posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Any Duke CRNAs out there? I was looking at their site today it they have 72 CRNAs on staff?! That seems like a lot? How many ORs do they

  8. Call

    NeuroNP posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I'm interested in what kind of call schedule your group has set up? Particularly those in Level I trauma centers that have to have someone in house 24/7. I'd also be especially interested to hear...

  9. OB CRNA Hours

    NeuroNP posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I've heard that it's common for CRNA/MDAs in OB to work 24 hrs on, 24 (or 48) off. Is this true? What is your schedule like for OB? Do you do OB exclusively or do you get to mix it up with the Main...

  10. CRNA without a BSN

    NeuroNP posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I have a BA in History and will be finishing a BS in Biology. I am going to complete an ADN program at a local community college and was planning to finish my BSN while I get my work experience...

  11. Richmond

    NeuroNP posted a topic in Virginia Nursing

    Hello, I'm looking at relocating after graduation and I was looking for information about Richmond and specifically VCU. I want to go into Critical Care (or possibly ER/Trauma) and then eventually I'd...

  12. Ever experience a code after pronouncement of death of same patient?

    NeuroNP replied to IIAAII77's topic in General Nursing

    When I was working in the ER, we had an 11yo kid, severe developmental disorder, came in. He was sent across from the clinic because of some irragularities (can't remember all the details, it was a...

  13. University Hospital (Cincy)

    NeuroNP posted a topic in Ohio Nursing

    Anyone work at University Hosptal in Cincy (or any of the major Health Alliance Hospitals)? I'm thinking I might like to move to Cincy after graduation and I'd like to apply for the Heath Alliance...

  14. SRNA Discrimination

    NeuroNP posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I've heard that in some hospitals that have Anes residents and SRNAs, the residents are given preference in cases/procedures, etc. Is this common? I've always felt that if the choice was between a...

  15. Grey's Anatomy Premier!!! + How to Contact Show Creators

    NeuroNP replied to miya's topic in General Nursing

    In addition to that scene with the idiot intern, did anyone notice the following? 1) five general surgery residents meet the helicopter on the roof to accept a SEIZURE patient? 2) when they get to...

  16. Virginia Commonwealth

    NeuroNP posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    This is only tangentially related to Anesthesia, but I've posted in the VA forum and the general forum and got little to no response. I know that there a lot of folks here who went (or go) to VCU so...

  17. Home Court Advantage

    NeuroNP posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Is there any "advantage" to getting your ICU experience at the place associated with the CRNA school you are applying to (or one of them)? I'm looking at employment options after graduation and I'm...

  18. ICU Interneship

    NeuroNP posted a topic in MICU, SICU

    Do you have to have a BSN to get into an ICU Internship? I've got a BA already and am going back to school to get a nursing degree but for various reasons, it makes more sense for me to get an ADN...

    NeuroNP replied to NeuroNP's topic in Maryland Nursing
