  1. MDA residency

    Emerald, First of all, you might not want to use the term MDA. On one hand, everyone knows who you are referring to when you use it, so it is an effective abbreviation for a long title. On the...
  2. Euthanasia? By not intervening? Maybe negiligent, but it probably wouldn't hold up, in that situation. Certainly not euthanizing,
  3. My thoughts: This lady is no longer "obese", with a BMI Maintenance fluid requirements are approximately 135cc's/hr (weight in kilo's +40), and you want to replace the deficit sooner rather than...
  4. Good post. Still, this thread is a real loser that barely deserved such a well-written and thought out statement. What are the OP's intentions, anyway? I have heard a veteran CRNA, former prez of the...
  5. One advantage to soft bite blocks is that they sponge up oral secretions. And I agree that it has never made much sense to me to be told to insert a bite block of either variety at the beginning of...
  6. AANA members

    A glut is an excess, not a shortage.
  7. First job

  8. I would respond to this by saying that coffee the temperature of the sun would exist in gas or plasma form and would not be tolerated by anyone .....not for long
  9. Where did that come from? jwk is a consistent and positive contributor. Other types of anesthesia providers posting makes this place less insular. By the way, you didn't refute what Tenesma said....
  10. MmacFN, you're not getting anywhere NEAR my
  11. So what is the fair monetary price for incapacitating injury or death? Is there an actual dollar value to these things? I've merely scanned this thread as I have little interest in legalese, but I...
  12. Golf boy, I was once pre-dent as well. BS biology, 2.9 gpa, DAT score 18. (and the DAT, folks, is essentially the SAME as the MCAT, minus physics, plus "perceptual ability" portion). I did not get...
  13. Wow. Thanks a lot. I know I will be fine, but I can't help having some anxiety before the real learning begins. Hopefully my instructors will share your attitude.... One thing I will be sure to do...
  14. Come on, people. Anesthetist (n): one who specializes in the administration of anesthetics. So, looks like they are anesthetists. That's an emotional stab at AAs, not a reasoned one. This thread, and...
  15. JWK is an Anesthesiologist Assistant who is well-respected around here for his clinical knowledge and opinions on all things anesthesia-related, despite the differences the two professions may have....
  16. Hi all, I'd like to hear (read) some opinions on what to look for in a first job fresh out of CRNA school. I just started my program, no clinicals yet, but it can't be too early to start thinking...
  17. First Job as a CRNA...

    Thanks for the responses,
  18. OK, I m no beer snob, pretty much anything will do, Guiness or Sierra Nevada Pale Ale or PBR or a good red are favored, but BUD ICE LITE, nitecap? This stuff's still around? Favorite inhaled agent:...
  19. What to know BEFORE school...

    Oh yeah, and drink lots of beer, too. Last chance for awhile. Drink it while reading that book. I
  20. What to know BEFORE school...

    I agree with the above posts, particularly the financial aid business. I'll tell you what I did, however. I got the Morgan/Mikael/Murray text, Clinical Anesthesiology, which is one of the most...
  21. Hey, that website IS kewl! Thanks Arnie, RN, RT. Does anyone have a compilation of educational websites such as this one and the virtual anesthesia machine? I would like to see more stuff like this,...
  22. Howdy. New to the forum. I've been lurking for some time, however. A great source of info and editorials. I am starting a CRNA program in January. An exciting thing, that. Turns out I've been lurking...
  23. Appears as though I struck a nerve. So do you refute the statement? MDA's are NOT more extensively trained? Anyway, it was beside the point I was making, probably should have left it out. I don't mean...
