    General Anesthesia Linked to Language Problems in Children

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

    Most providers still practice the way they were taught and usually only forced change or departmental changes will have any effect on their practices. This is consistent with current research...

    wtbcrna replied to IcySageNurse's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I will respectfully disagree on the simple fact alone that if we were taught enough EBP/EBM in our Masters programs then it shouldn't take nearly 17 years to bring research to

    wtbcrna replied to Robert.CFRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You can be prochoice but you should also have to tell your patients and wear a badge stating that you chose not to be vaccinated and that their health isn't as important to you as your beliefs in not...

    wtbcrna replied to Robert.CFRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You know that doesn't have to be from the flu vaccine though. It could have hit a nerve. It could have been vagal reaction etc. I have gotten a knot that lasted for over 6 months and sore arm from...

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

    I already pointed out there is no agreement on which anesthetic agent(s) has this effect or how many times being exposed to anesthesia it takes to cause learning problems. We do know that at some...

    Like, I stated I already posted a response to the Cochrane study. I also base my recommendations from the CDC, WHO, AMA, ANA and several others. Yours is based on misinformed opinion based on false...

    Nurse fired for refusing flu shot

    wtbcrna replied to Robert.CFRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    wtbcrna replied to Robert.CFRN's topic in Disaster Preparation
