  1. Future of CRNAs

    rn29306 replied to badass's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Averages are of little use at times..CRNAs - new grads are $110 and up. New grad from my school last year hit 200K this past year. Yes that involves working an insane amount of hours and alot of...

  2. anesthesia brain book suggestions

    rn29306 replied to tcrn's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    No offense, I found brainstation to be a waste of time and money. One student at our school prev. did a project and it was a book on how to specifically survive our program with a ton of medical...

  3. concious sedation

    rn29306 replied to canoehead's topic in Emergency

    Come on guys. Immersion = a dip, to plunge, to dunk under water Emergence is the word you are looking for..Emergence delirium following the administration of ketamine is characterized by visual,...

  4. concious sedation

    rn29306 replied to canoehead's topic in Emergency

    I was just wondering... what kind of inhalational medications are you specifically speaking

  5. Clinical Doctorate in Anesthsia

    rn29306 replied to Lambert5883's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    This is the bare minimum to graduate and take boards. I sincerely hope there is no program where this is the average for their graduates. Most of our upperclassmen graduate with 900 -

  6. Propofol

    rn29306 replied to czipp's topic in Gastroenterology

    Have you ever given Propofol to frail 80 y/os?? They tank their BP quicker than you can blink and do you think their autoregulation after 80 years of functioning can even attempt to compensate, shunt...

  7. Clinical Doctorate in Anesthsia

    rn29306 replied to Lambert5883's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Do what you want. This thread is tiring as is this subject. We all have said what our respective opinions are and there's no changing that. Some of you want to go around calling yourselves Drs then go...

  8. Clinical Doctorate in Anesthsia

    rn29306 replied to Lambert5883's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    When a person makes an appointment with Dr. Bone Cracker, the chiro and pulls up in Mr. Cracker's office with a sign by the road and on the door that plainly states Dr. B. Cracker, Chiro a person is...

  9. Clinical Doctorate in Anesthsia

    rn29306 replied to Lambert5883's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I am all for the program IF it is a genuine clinical focus in an area that is needed (peds, cardiothoracic, hearts, trauma, neuro). No theory, no other BS. Nursing leadership wants to call it a...

  10. Clinical Doctorate in Anesthsia

    rn29306 replied to Lambert5883's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Everyone has their opinion and NY can do what it wants to. I think it is ethically wrong to call yourself a "dr" unless you are a physician. Consider this: Patients cannot even keep anesthesia...

  11. difference between Nurse Anesthetist and anesthesiologist

    rn29306 replied to lpnstudentin2010's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    in what role as a 18 y/o monitor tech and unit secretary have you had first-hand experience with CRNAs in delivering anesthesia care or the education of a CRNA? have you ever seen a CRNA in action in...

  12. Thanks alot...

    rn29306 posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    We were actually having a decent discussion of politics with no name calling, whining, complaining, and general bickering (which is a considerable statement with some of these threads) and big...

  13. Clinical Doctorate in Anesthsia

    rn29306 replied to Lambert5883's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I don't see the point in it myself. I am hesitant for the following reasons: 1. Unless someone is wanting to do strictly hearts, neuro, or trauma and the individual school focuses in on this area...

  14. ATTEN: The Future of CRNA's Threatened?

    rn29306 replied to Nitecap's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Yahoo! the "Pine study" (cadiologist named Dr. Pine who was a statistics man on the side) and read the results of his study on CRNA vs MDA based outcomes. The ASA attempted to make a bogus claim...

  15. ATTEN: The Future of CRNA's Threatened?

    rn29306 replied to Nitecap's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Hello there MS. I wondered why you were siding with SDN until I read your public profile. What is amusing is that while they were speaking amongst themselves and no one objected to their opinions, all...

  16. ATTEN: The Future of CRNA's Threatened?

    rn29306 replied to Nitecap's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    See how the thread stays open as long as the spoiled children at SDN whine and complain amongst themselves (seems they are so good at it, do they teach that in med school??) but then close it down...

  18. Single SRNAs..

    rn29306 posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Got your attention with that one.....I really don't want to turn this into a match.com type of thing, but how many of you out there are going through the whole deal single, away from hometown...

    rn29306 replied to daitheflu's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    and you think studentdoctor.net is any different in stereotypes of nurses and esp crnas for that matter. keep your condenscending comments on that side over

  21. CRNA vs. MDA - pros and cons

    rn29306 replied to daitheflu's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Very true that ALOT of docs switch from surg to gas. I challenge anyone to find some doc who has switched from gas to surgery. THAT is a very rare change

  22. Feeling pretty darn good!

    rn29306 replied to delawaremalenurse's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    There are a certain amount of classes you can take before your actual anesthesia block classes start. For my school anyone can take Theory, Health Policy and Finance, and Nursing Research prior to...

  23. Prehospital RN training

    rn29306 replied to BSNinTX's topic in Emergency

    TNCC in absolute a joke. Learn the stupid letters of the alphabet and you've passed the course. I think I could have done it alone without the class. Find a PHTLS or ATLS

  24. Hospital Primarily Using MDA's Instead of CRNA's?

    rn29306 replied to Sheri257's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I always wondered how surgeons treat MDAs and if it is the same as they sometimes try to influence CRNAs by snide comments, about slow turnaround times etc. Take ENT for example. I have seen where the...

  25. Are there presentations/public speaking in CRNA school?

    rn29306 replied to futurenp's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    In the past, I was the kid who turned beet red in middle school and to some part, even high school even if called on in class to answer a question. I myself didn't ask many questions for this reason....
