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

    without the proper faculty and the appropriate clinical focus, this will not work. i am an advocate for a clinical doctorate, i just don't want to "hand out" these degrees after receiving training...

    I agree it can be a good thing, but it should be done appropriately. More clinical hours with advanced type cases.

  5. COLORAOD: CRNA vs. Anesthesiologists

    mwbeah replied to eethrnurse90's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    this language you provided in the letter needs to find its way to the nurse practice act......again if you goto the website, there is nothing like that at all.

  6. COLORAOD: CRNA vs. Anesthesiologists

    mwbeah replied to eethrnurse90's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Also, if you goto the current website which has the colorado nurse practice act posted, it does not differentiate (AT ALL) for CRNAs. It groups them with advanced practice nurses and collectively...

  7. COLORAOD: CRNA vs. Anesthesiologists

    mwbeah replied to eethrnurse90's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Where did that come from????? Is it always your nature to be rude to people? I do not believe any of my postings in this thread resulted in type of personal attack. Seems like you got issues. I was...

  8. COLORAOD: CRNA vs. Anesthesiologists

    mwbeah replied to eethrnurse90's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Exactly my point, there is different language depending on the source. This is why the CSA is able to give us a hard time.

    mwbeah replied to eethrnurse90's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    in other words, there was alot of "fur flyin..." but the wording on the books has not changed. (you can research for yourself). the "delegated medical" wording is still in the cbe regulations.

  15. Clinical Doctorate in Anesthsia

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

    I would say you are stretching it a bit. More than likely the cases obtained (I mean TRUE cases, not just showing up in the room and taking credit for it) is usually between 650-800 prior to taking...

    mwbeah replied to Pete495's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Not trying to preach, but when you used ALL CAPS with your previous posting it appeared as if you were judging. Like I said, just hope it doesn't happen on your watch because it will happen...

  17. difference between Nurse Anesthetist and anesthesiologist

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

    I am one of those "Uncle Sam" providers who has been behind the screen when the 22 year old soldier comes to the Army OR with his limbs blown off, or an RPG doesn't explode and rips through him........

  20. difference between Nurse Anesthetist and anesthesiologist

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

    I personally believe that every time a post like this appears, it should be erased. I have been a culprit at times of feeding these posts, but after reflecting on this topic these posts do not serve...

    mwbeah replied to military girl's topic in Government, Military

    Hey guys, first of all congrats! I just got back from the CPT's Career Course so I have been away from this board for awhile. My suggestion is this, make sure your JODSF and your OER support forms...

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

    "This is an incorrect assumption. DNP is a terminal degree, a full fledged academic doctorate. It is not a research doctorate. Neither is a MD, by the way! True, a PhD is the top of the totem pole,...

    Your source states it is 3-8 ml per kg (thats about 210-560 ml for a 70 kg pt). So you can see no one really has an exact amount. The one poster had a CRNA give them a good rule of thumb, just try and...
