  1. Why Do Anesthesiologists Despise CRNA's?

    GregRN replied to DermNP2Be's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    MD's/DO's will always talk about and stress their education and training, which by itself really is impressive. But we're talking about outcomes in anesthesia here...totally different ballgame here....

  2. Why Do Anesthesiologists Despise CRNA's?

    GregRN replied to DermNP2Be's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Interesting. If being paid is your litmus test for determining whether it's called education or not, your argument just got weaker.Undergrad: whether the major is nursing or biology, most people...

  3. new grads in icu

    GregRN replied to firehawkrn's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I'm hearing two things: "Why did they even apply to the ICU then" and "this is a patient safety issue." Pick a side. You have brand new grads working in the ICU, ones who are concerned for patient...

  4. Abuse During my first few months as a new Graduate Nurse.

    GregRN replied to muffin416's topic in General Nursing

    I would be very careful going this route. All too often an employee will use this tactic when on their way out the door. Then, once gone, HR starts to investigate to find out how much credence there...

  7. Could I get into crna school?

    GregRN replied to Napier's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Absolutely you have a chance. While many programs will say you need a minimum of one year ICU experience, the reality is that most applicants have much more. While an applicant may meet the minimum...

  8. Have you heard of anyone being accepted.....

    GregRN replied to radrn2001's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    You are half-right. Three things are needed for acceptance into a CRNA program: RN, ICU experience and a bachelor's degree, whether it be a BSN or otherwise. There are some programs that will allow...

  9. What Do I Do????

    GregRN replied to gparkis's topic in General Nursing

    Caveat: Currently, AA's can be licensed and therefore practice in only a limited number of states. CRNA's can be licensed and practice in all 50 states. Practicing as a CRNA offers more flexibility,...

  10. Will a criminal record keep me from employment?

    GregRN replied to hjwong's topic in General Nursing

    Not so. He's asking about EMPLOYMENT, not LICENSURE. Two totally different and separate things. State BON's control licensing. For employment questions it's best to go through the interview...

  11. nurse anesthesia w/o BSN

    GregRN replied to onstar's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    CRNA without a BSN? Some programs will allow acceptance into a CRNA program with a 2-year ADN if you have a bachelor's in a related field...maybe 10% of the programs. How many programs offer CRNA...

  12. Are there any benefits to having a MSN before entering CRNA school?

    GregRN replied to Lucy-RN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Pick a school, one that has a CRNA program and an MSN program (whether it be FNP, education, health care administratiion, etc). Compare the two side by side and I think you'll find that they are...

  13. Deaf nurses

    GregRN replied to ange26s's topic in General Nursing

    You can have your Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Russian, Chinese. If there is one "foreign" language I wish I would have learned it's American Sign Language. There is ALWAYS room for good...

  14. DNR order

    GregRN replied to Inquisitive one's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Never, never NEVER take a phone or verbal order for something as serious as this. I have no idea what the policy is at my facility on acute vs. subacute but I would NOT accept a telephone or verbal...

  15. Could this be a hippa violation???

    GregRN replied to krsrn2005's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    HIPPA violation? Definitely not. HIPAA violation? Maybe, but you'd have to prove it came from your doc's office, and that may be very difficult. Further, one has to wonder if you're really...

  16. Help name our ROBOT

    GregRN replied to Nurse_Smith's topic in General Nursing

    Piñata. Sends a subtle message.

  18. Is the AA profession gaining ground?

    GregRN replied to Alpha13's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Though the former "Mrs. GregRN" may have a different opinion, you are kind for saying so. :) I s'pose I could be sneaky and say that I don't belong to the AANA. While that statement is certainly...

  20. PICC removal

    GregRN replied to oldiebutgoodie's topic in MICU, SICU

    Yep. Just like you would a plain ol' central line. Think about where the PICC line comes to rest: same place as a central line. The same hazard exists with a PICC, that is, air embolism. So we d/c...

  21. Is the AA profession gaining ground?

    GregRN replied to Alpha13's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Please forgive me, but a number of your posts have raised my suspicions as to who you really are and what your personal motivations may be in anesthesia. Care to

  23. St. Mary's

    GregRN replied to badgernurse's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I just got off the phone with someone from admissions. Apparently, it's the correct letter. She said that is, in fact, the letter they send out for the first round of cuts. She then volunteered...

  24. St. Mary's

    GregRN replied to badgernurse's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I got the same letter, brookesbuddy. I guess we both suck. You're right...it's very strange to get that letter as it appears to be the "regrets" letter they send out AFTER interviews. I'm guessing...

  25. Ques. for those that applied to CRNA school with 1 yr RN experience

    GregRN replied to 2bNurseNikki376's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    That is school specific. Some will require the one-year before matriculation into the program, others will require it at the time of application. When you look at a school and the requirements for...
