    Vegas.

  3. MDA residency

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

    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...

  4. How would you manage this airway?

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

    Euthanasia? By not intervening? Maybe negiligent, but it probably wouldn't hold up, in that situation. Certainly not euthanizing,

  5. Fluid Replacement on Weight Basis

    TheLemur replied to yoga crna's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    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...

  6. Why havent CRNAs pushed MDAs out yet?

    TheLemur replied to platon20's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    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...

  7. Clinical Quiz: Bite Blocks

    TheLemur replied to piper77's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    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...

  8. AANA members

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

    A glut is an excess, not a shortage.

  10. Med-Mal Reform -- Write your Senator

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

    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

  11. Have Docs kept you out of an OR room b/c your a CRNA?

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

    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....

  13. Med-Mal Reform -- Write your Senator

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

    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...

  14. Thinking about CRNA... Advice PLEASE!

    TheLemur replied to golfmontpoker's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    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...

  15. So you are about to start clinicals...

    TheLemur replied to Just a CRNA's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    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...

  16. Is the AA profession gaining ground?

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

    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...

  17. Hollywood movie called "awake"

    TheLemur replied to crna2bee's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    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....

    TheLemur posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    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...

    TheLemur replied to denverlover's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    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...

    TheLemur posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    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...

  25. Warning: Political Contents Inside

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

    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...
