  1. Utah surgeons against AA's

    ..and with that, the death of the all MDA/DOA model. "One often finds the path to destruction on his way to try to avoid it" - Kung Fu Panda.
  2. Minority SRNA/CRNA's

    I have a question: How many AAs are in CRNA school in Michigan?
  3. Is the AA profession gaining ground?

    My beef isn't with AAs specifically (meaning if you can do anesthesia and properly trained then you should be able to make a living out of it). My problem is the reason there is such a big push NOW by the ASA to promote the AA profession. When CRNAs ...
  4. California CRNA Programs

    I'll agree with half of what you are saying. I'm doing my clinicals in a county hospital in southern california and the job market for CRNAs in southern california sucks. As far as RNs and the state of california, the california nurses association is...
  5. Is the AA profession gaining ground?

    Is there a regulatory board at the state level for AAs?
  6. Is the AA profession gaining ground?

    80 - 85% of Texas Counties don't have hospitals? Ignorance in its highest form. You must be refering to Georgia counties with that number man. CRNAs are flocking to rural america alot faster than MDAs are and that is the basis of the argument. Basica...
  7. Is the AA profession gaining ground?

    Interesting point and I can see that perspective. I'll say this; Lets try to do a study comparing the outcomes of CRNAs and AAs in rural settings or settings outside of an anesthesia care team model. OH Wait!! That can't happen because AAs can't work...
  8. Anesthesologist and CRNA collaboration

    Please don't label me as a sellout for asking this question because I love what I'm training to become but, where exactly do we want the MDAs to be? If they are in our O.R. room all the time, we say they are controlling. If they kick it in the lounge...
  9. CRNA PHD Anyone?

    I'm all for education and I think that the DNP is a good idea as long as its not made the entry into practice (an option) or at least not until the shortage of anesthesia providers is curtailed a bit. Can you imagine the recruiting pitch AAs schools ...
  10. The difference Between CRNA and AA

    To get that answer without getting a 80 page blog you should probably do a search on this topic. You should get alot of information for what you seek that way because its been discuss on this board ALOT! This probably won't stop the bloodshed (excuse...
  11. Minority SRNA/CRNA's

    Wow. Interesting. Here is another perspective. I'm a black male SRNA/RRNA presently at Texas Wesleyan Univ Class of 2007. We have a total of 7 black people currently in my class and more than 5 or 6 in the class behind mine (most of them I'm friends ...
  12. OB in atlanta

    For all the providers familiar with atlanta, what hospitals allow crnas/aas to place spinals/epidurals for OB???
  13. Loss of resistance

    Who likes to use air and who uses saline? If you do use air, have you ever had a patient with pneumocephalus?
  14. Lidocaine with Extubation

    For everybody who's given anesthesia so far; How many of you use lidocaine near the time of extubation and if you do, what dose and about when do you give it. My CRNA on thursday gave 40mg about 5 mins or so before the patient was extubated. It worke...
  15. SRNA with a problem, need some help fast!

    I know of the school in which the poster is speaking and have heard from a couple of people from that program that they are having a pretty rough summer. There is a line between sucking it up and not receiving what you need to do well on the test (po...
