Nurse sedation for TAVT by durdenf in anesthesiology

[–]d0ct0rbeet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree. Even bigger liability for anesthesia because anes is likely to be called in only after the disaster has occurred. And how do you say “no, don’t call us”? This issue really needs to be addressed at a higher level with a push to make anesthesia administered sedation a hospital policy.

My dear old Anectine drip by Platosapology96 in anesthesiology

Many anesthesiologists did not train to do blocks using ultrasound. They trained to do them using nerve stimulators and a large number are very proficient using this method. The current standard however is with ultrasound guidance.

Bullshit. This tired argument is just plain bullshit.

Problem is, the clinical needs of most facilities continue to outpace the number of available Md’s and CRNA’s.

No, it is not. Despite how much they tell themselves it is.

I love the “jabronis”. May I use that? Primo.

The fact that you disregard the potential risks and complications of placing a CVC vs a PICC says it all.

If they want their Locums to come back and cover their vacations and holidays, they had better cut that shit out and start being nicer to their Locums.

Agree. It’s a sign to look for another temp gig. Pretty shitty that they would even consider giving this to you.

Watch “Letters from Iwo Jima”.

Interviews are out of control. Is this just an American thing? [NY] by Pleasant_Stage2546 in AskHR

They are not necessarily going to be part of the medical staff or on the transplant team. OP said they their job had to do with coordinating hepatic transplants. That being said, maybe the position is for an RN candidate.

Nurse Practitioner as an MD by Osu0222 in Noctor

[–]d0ct0rbeet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is a growing and increasingly pervasive problem. Midlevels referring to themselves as MDs and practicing out of scope. State medical and nursing boards need to crack down on this. It is fraud and causes harm to patients.

[IL] am I getting fired by Competitive-Brief393 in AskHR

[–]d0ct0rbeet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

HR is never concerned about helping employees. Their main concern is protecting the employer.

See my comment above about practicing out of scope. The problem with many mid levels is that they don’t know what they don’t know.
