I worked for years in the State of Texas. Your "overtime" hours are considered comp time which is golden. It just adds up to time you may take off at your convenience. However, I would definitely recommend speaking to HR about your particular situa...
Don't be sorry about expressing your thoughts and opinions. I truly wish I had not heard those comments myself. I've only known a very small number of CRNAs in my life. The majority of my OR experience was in a children's hospital that did not employ...

YES...please, please do not go on and on about the situation. Every letter I have ever read is way too detailed and overstated. And please do not blame another person for your actions. 100% of the letters to the Board that I have read have included ...
My son in law is in your shoes. He will be deployed soon for a remote assignment in a war torn country. He will come back changed, of course. My husband experienced this in Vietnam. Blessings and positive thoughts coming your way. It's a very dif...
Every CRNA I have known has made comments to me that the anesthesiologists are too picky about high standards. If they would say something like that to me personally, who knows what their practice is like. This has been my experience in my professio...

Considering I am an advanced practice nurse, I think I know this. But I appreciate your insight. But you are just as wrong as you can be with your assessment. Have you worked in licensure? Or on the BON...just saying, because you say that you are...

Hey guys and gals - please just stop! You seem to be telling me to stop twice. I'm expressing my opinions from many years in the OR and the Army. I'm certain that good and qualified CRNAs exist in practice. Wish I could meet one. This past week, I ...

The patients started to survive and a good idea spread around the world. But you've already said ....nothing will change your mind. Insert emotican of chimpanzee with hands over eyes here. Oh wow, thanks so much for your demeaning remark. If you h...

We must be of the same day and age! Those NLNs were awful and very predictable in my case. I miserably failed the pediatrics portion and when I took my Boards, pediatrics was my lowest scoring section. That was back in the Stone Age when we took ...

There are many professions and trades that cannot be practiced without a license from the state. Nursing is one of them. Trying to fight the school and the state will serve no purpose. There is no workaround.

All of this info is based a wing and a prayer. The BON in her state is the one that holds most of the cards. In my experience , there is nothing that can speed the BON up, unfortunately. Good idea, in theory.

I'm excited for all of you! I worked there for the decade of the 80s in CVOR and loved it. One of my daughters did a rotation there while in med school. I am still good friends with many of the people I worked with there. Wonderful surgeons, anest...

I obviously believe that DO=MD or I wouldn't be trusting my DO with my life. In my personal experience , I have dealt with DOs who were not as well trained as PAs...just saying and FWIW, I'm done here with trying to express my first amendment rights...
twinsmom788 replied to cristianomiguel's topic in CRNA
And I will tell you why...the first DO I ever met was weak clinically and had to ask the PAs for help in patient situations. She did not score well on the MCAT so she went to DO school. Some PAs are the best providers I have ever met. Obviously, D...

I really hope you are not calling me personally laughable and ignorant. I was saying my personal opinion based on experience in the military. I love my DO peronal physician !
oh dear, my twins have nothing to do with much of this with the exception of what they went through in med school. I am speaking for the most part from my experience of a CVOR nurse with MD anesthesiologists. I did request an MD to provide my anesth...
This sounds like the good proof that I was interested in. I am not so biased as a mother. I am more biased as a CVOR nurse seeing that anesthesia is most important in the OR. I just wish I could interview my provider ( if needed) before any proced...
Oh my goodness, "dating a med student , etc, " makes one an expert on their training? If you are not a physician, you have no idea. Wow, I was an OR nurse, CVOR for 10 years and saw anesthesia up close and personal. My SIL is an anesthesiologist, ...
