    CRNAs in Hospitals

    wtbcrna replied to GaMommy81's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    If I am understanding you correctly that is the way most CRNAs work. We may work in OB one day, GI another day, general OR another day etc. There is usually a dedicated group that works in open...

    wtbcrna replied to sistrmoon's topic in General Nursing

    Well then that is a healthcare problem, if and when both parents are available that the father is not included in the decision. I highly doubt that most newborn male's mother and father haven't...

    wtbcrna replied to sistrmoon's topic in General Nursing

    I think is more important that parents have the right to an informed decision that is not tainted by some healthcare provider's personal biases. It is an interesting phenomenon on these circumcision...

    1. We are talking about males and what research has shown to work for males not females. A labiaplasty is a totally different procedure and offers much more risk without the proven benefits of male...

    Then why aren't HPV, HIV, penile cancer, and STIs eradicated, if all it takes is education and hygiene. Circumcision obviously has medical indications or the CDC and WHO wouldn't consider recommending...

    wtbcrna replied to sistrmoon's topic in General Nursing

    People that keep stating male circumcision is only a cosmetic procedure is a lie. You can state that you don't think it is right or that is mainly done for cosmetic reasons, but stating that is only a...

    CDC rec to counsel all males about benefits of circumcision

    wtbcrna replied to sistrmoon's topic in General Nursing

    That is incorrect. The top reason I have done anesthesia for labiaplaties was for the excessive tissue from the labias getting in the way during urination. It can be a cosmetic surgery too, but that...

    Circumcision has medical benefits. To deny that is a lie. Parents should be able to obtain unbiased information on male circumcisions and make an informed decision from there. They should not be...

    Females labia do not normally cause problems, but we frequently do labiaplasties in U.S., so it even your nut and bolt comparison isn't really accurate. All the adult men and male teens that end up...

    wtbcrna replied to puppies'n kittens's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    There are surveys from the AANA that shows the types of cases that CRNAs do, but I would have to really search to find those. What you are still stating is an opinions and not facts. You assume that...

    wtbcrna replied to puppies'n kittens's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I don't think there are any anesthesia cases that need a physician-anesthesiologist. Anesthesiologists that are fellowship trained can bring a lot of speciality knowledge by that experience to...
