Question about AA's

Hi everyone

I know this is a bit of a political subject but im not looking to create a political discussion.

First off, let me say that im going to CRNA school.

Now what i am wondering is what everything thinks of the AA thing as well as how it might affect the CRNA profession? How did it come to be? Is it growing of not?

Just concerned as a future CRNA

MM

My suggestion would be to do a search because this can turn ugly really quick.

Ok, i will

COuld a moderator please close this thread?

Just an observation but ...

Without the AA issue, or other controversial topics ...

Seems like hardly anybody posts in this area anymore. Other than the CRNA wannabe's ... This part of the board is pretty much deader than a doornail.

So ... I'm not sure why people groan about it. It may be the only thing that kept the board interesting enough for people to keep coming back.

What's worse? A little controversy ... or no traffic at all?

Have to agree with ya there. haven't seen much on this board in quite a while. I know as I a student, I've been quite busy, and haven't had as much of a chance to post anything.

hehe

well im on another website and i can tell you that we typcially allow contraversial topics to some degree just to maintian the traffic. If nothing more than nice exchanges and agreement is going on, there is nothing interesting to get ppl excited.

Yeah ... it's boring. :zzzzz

I realize they don't want a free for all but, squashing all debate literally kills the traffic.

I feel you on the boredom. But why beat a dead horse. I'm personally sick of debating this issue. I rather debate on which gas is best for an obese patient. Des or Sevo?

The point is ... nobody's beating anything. This forum is the dead horse. When it gets to the point that nobody can say anything ... they just leave.

I'm not sure how you're going to debate any issue at that point ... since they're all gone. If that's the way the owners want it, then so be it ... but this place has become a ghost town.

Some one shock the forum, Ill do compressions, someone else can bag and push drugs. Maybe somehow we can revive this forum.

We all know that in some way or another at one point in our careers this forum has helped us learn or become more informed. I agree that its been a little lame lately. Well how bout some of you guys start threads.

Talking about AAs for the one millionth time isn't exactly going to bring everybody back. The main beef with this board is the lack of clinically relevant topics. If you think this place is a ghost town, talk about something relevant and let's not reinvent an argument that will go to nowhere really quickly. I'll start it off.

i've noticed this too, but I think Kevin was a major contibutor to this forum and the current events forum, and he made the decision to leave allnurses back in September with some others, so this may be a reason why there aren't as many threads and posts started. I always hate to see threads closed when they really "could" be educational. Topics like these while potentially explosive, still are interesting, educational and allow different real world perspectives from those practicing. If we told everyone to do a search on every topic that has been "done" on allnurses we would have maybe 10 new threads per day and not much traffic. Time enough to close a thread down after it goes south.
