  2. Lets be careful how we use Med Aides

    IndiCRNA replied to achot chavi's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    Obviously. I was giving an example of how a faciliety could allow nurses to better use their time. Wow you give up easy. Of course charting must be done. The amount of time a nurse spends doing it...

  3. 2015 DNP Requirement for APNs

    IndiCRNA replied to IcanHealYou's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You are not understanding what you are being told. There is no requirment for APNs to have a DNP. There is no proposal to make a DNP required for APNs. It isn't really possible for 50 states to...

  4. Lets be careful how we use Med Aides

    IndiCRNA replied to achot chavi's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    I understand. However the answer is not to have CNAs doing nurses work for which they are not trained. The answer is to streamline nurses charting, eliminating double charting and meaningless "boiler...

  5. MS versus DNP

    IndiCRNA replied to phuretrotr's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    There is no reason you would have to get a doctorate at any point unless your goal is to teach at a university. For practicing CRNAs the masters will be all thats needed. I don't plan on getting...

  6. MS versus DNP

    IndiCRNA replied to phuretrotr's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I think only a minority of CRNA school are through nursing schools. Last time I looked was before I went to school but if I remeber right only about 30% were based out of schools of nursing. There are...

  7. MS versus DNP

    IndiCRNA replied to phuretrotr's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Mine was 27 months and contained plenty of make work fluff. Well I got 4 days and then was on my own with no other anesthesia provider in the hospital or available on call. No problem at all. I was...

  8. MS versus DNP

    IndiCRNA replied to phuretrotr's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    When you say "offering a DNP" does that mean it's an option? The one DNP CRNA program I am familiar with (University of Minnesota) didn't add any clinical or clinicaly related classes when it changed...

  9. Lets be careful how we use Med Aides

    IndiCRNA replied to achot chavi's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    Yes exactly. Put the CNAs bach to doing what they have been trained to do and hire more nurses for doing nurses work. I realize doing so would cut into profits and thus unlikely to

  10. MS versus DNP

    IndiCRNA replied to phuretrotr's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Wow! 82 credit hours? My program was 64 credits and could have easily been 45-60. Yours must have been packed full of even more fluff than is standard. I would MUCH rather seen CRNA programs move...

  11. MS versus DNP

    IndiCRNA replied to phuretrotr's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I think many will be DNAP and not DNP as I mentioned in my previous

  12. MS versus DNP

    IndiCRNA replied to phuretrotr's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Not quite true. There is no requirment at all for anyone to get a DNP by 2015 or any other date. The DNP for NPs is only a recomendation by the AACN, not a requirment. CRNAs will be required to get a...

  13. RN to MD

    IndiCRNA replied to kalevra's topic in General Nursing

    Not me! I practice completly autonomously, my program was only 27 months long and about $40K, no residency required, and I make more than two thirds of the physicians in the hospital's group practice....

  14. Lets be careful how we use Med Aides

    IndiCRNA replied to achot chavi's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    Only nurses (and in limited circumstanced physicians), LPNs & RNs should be passing meds

  15. RN to MD

    IndiCRNA replied to kalevra's topic in General Nursing

    I have 2 buddies I used to work with in the ICU who went to medical school (both D.O. programs). One is happy as a clam he did it (family practice) and the other one very much regrets it. (still a...

  16. 2015 DNP Requirement for APNs

    IndiCRNA replied to IcanHealYou's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    As several others have pointed out the answer is no. The exception is for CRNAs need to have a doctorate (not necessarily a DNP since so many CRNA programs can't grant nursing degrees) by 2025....

  17. MD refuses to sign a telephone order.

    IndiCRNA replied to modernhippie_'s topic in Critical Care

    When I was a ICU and ER staff nurse I had to take verbal and phone orders all the time. A number of times a physician denied giving an order. It was never a problem for me. I never experienced anyone...

  18. DNP vs MD

    IndiCRNA replied to healthstar's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I am sure it will happen. Seems abserd to me. My program was 27 months and contained plenty of make work fluff. I have a hard time believing the 36 months is needed for competent and safe delivery of...

  19. DNP vs MD

    IndiCRNA replied to healthstar's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    It can be a bad thing. We advanced pracactice nurses are supposed to be cost effective providers of health care. Among the things that makes us cost effective is the low cost of training an advanced...

  21. MD refuses to sign a telephone order.

    IndiCRNA replied to modernhippie_'s topic in Critical Care

    Ya this has happend to me a number of times. However I have never viewed it as MY problem. It's managment's (nursing and physician) problem. Obviously you wrote the order as "T.O Dr.Liesaboutorders"....

    IndiCRNA replied to Anna-s's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Almost 4 weeks and you are already off orientation? Sounds like you have been thrown to the wolves. Of course you feel overwhelmed. Since nursing school has little to do with the real world of nursing...
