  2. CRNAs we are losing the battle.

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

    Yes, maybe it is a functional by-product, as opposed to a direct by-product. Though, I think I see NRSKarenRN's point now, with reagard to the explicit wording contained within PA's code. As you had...

  3. CRNAs we are losing the battle.

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

    Not to get hung up on semantics, but the statement that "The administration of anesthesia is a proper function of a registered nurse" is misleading because it implies that the administration of...

  4. CRNAs we are losing the battle.

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

    Good point. You would think that any analysis on the matter would warrant critical thinking based on empirical data, as opposed to "golly gee, this seems, fundamentally, reasonable." Just makes you...

  6. Age Discrimination

    Lambert5883 replied to Lambert5883's topic in Government, Military

    Thanks for the positive, cheerfuldoer. The reason I'm going BSN is because I already have a degree and would rather save time by navigating an accelerated route, due to the age restrictions in the...

    WW, check out the following link: http://www.goarmy.com/amedd/index.jsp There are six Army Healthcare Corps. Check out the Nurse Corp. This info applys to both Active and Reserve. And 46 1/2 has...

  8. Age Discrimination

    Lambert5883 replied to Lambert5883's topic in Government, Military

    I hear ya! I'm 6-2 and weigh 235, and I am sure I would surpass the weight limit based on my height. However, I lift weights alot (not heavy, anymore) and triathlon train (olympic) as best as my...

    My wife, who was an MDS Coordinator at two different LTCs in Harrisburg, Pa, made $29 and $32 an hour, respectively. With the amount of work that you have to deal with in making certain that your...

  11. Drexel News!!

    Lambert5883 replied to Lambert5883's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I found out through my correspondance (e-mail) with Erin Finn, Director of Graduate Admissions (Nursing), yesterday morning. She wrote that she had personally signed my acceptance letter. Also, she...

  12. Nursing School: There's No Guarantee!?!

    Lambert5883 replied to prissy pixie's topic in General Nursing

    Have you looked into other areas in the healthcare arena. From what I have been reading lately on these boards, it seems professions such as Dental Assistants, are really paying well these days --...

  13. any news from drexel?

    Lambert5883 replied to charleybarley's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just found out that my app. has been reviewed and a decision has been made, but I'll have to wait fro the letter because their policy stipulates that they cannot inform me on their decision via e-mail...

  14. any news from drexel?

    Lambert5883 replied to charleybarley's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have, yet still I get conflicting info. "Que cera cera," is the motto in which we are forced to embrace at this late

  15. any news from drexel?

    Lambert5883 replied to charleybarley's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No. No news, yet. I was told by a Ms. Finn that if I did not receive a letter by Friday (this week) to let her know. But Admissions says to expect letters sometime mid-next week. Who

  16. what is a pps/mds coordinator?

    Lambert5883 replied to sun_chica's topic in General Nursing

    My wife worked for two years as an MDS coordinator for multiple LTC sites. Her job required that she travel frequently. The job was so consuming (she consistently brought work home and worked late...

  17. Accused of Racism!

    Lambert5883 replied to yaddadoit's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    True. Racism benefits no one, rhetorically speaking. However, institutionalized racism, in our case an institution that developed more than 350 years ago, and of which only recently legally...

  19. Clinical Doctorate in Anesthsia

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

    Thanks for the insight, loisane, and the links are greatly appreciated. Why is it a good thing, though, generally

  20. Clinical Doctorate in Anesthsia

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

    Lizz, I think this is a good point. Makes you focus on a myriad of scenarios concerning the divergence, or convergence, of MDAs, CRNAs, and AAs and how the practice of anesthesia will evolve,...

  21. Clinical Doctorate in Anesthsia

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

    Mike, You have imparted a very sensible approach in addressing the issue of clincal doctorates in nurse anesthesia. And from some of the other posts, which seem to agree with you, it seems that,...

  22. Clinical Doctorate in Anesthsia

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

    I think the intent is to have the doctorate(clinical) be the entry level degree in Nursing Anesthesia, sometime in 2011 - 2015. So, it won't be optional for those coming into the profession at that...

    When I was an OR tech in the military years ago, I vaguely remember O2 and C02 in the same type canister, but color coded (with large white labeling) to discern the difference (Seoul, Korea). Very...

  24. Memorizing vs. understanding

    Lambert5883 replied to nursestudentin05's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just took my final exam in A&P I yesterday and felt awkward because one had to "deduce" on a lot of the questions in order to answer correctly. I was lucky I did as well as I did. Poor study...

  25. Clinical Doctorate in Anesthsia

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

    So, you are of the opinion that a clinical doctorate is needed in order for the CRNA profession to evolve. You make several good points, in terms of the usage of the term "Dr.", but my question is,...
