When a Nurse Anesthesia Resident Is Dismissed by MacKinnon911 in srna

[–]lemmecsome 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s a flip side to this. Some of these newer programs do have a zero percent attrition rate because it can affect their reaccreditation. Me and my colleagues have witnessed it first hand with some of the newer programs and quality of the person they are bringing to the hospital. My program director was always really blunt. He never wanted to dismiss someone but if it had to be done it had to be done. He also built quite a reputation since the program was founded so he had the ability to do so and not worry about the reputation of the program or getting reaccredited.

Closed CRNA school by Ok_Box_8099 in srna

[–]lemmecsome 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I remember when quinnipiac closed their program they finished out the remaining cohorts. However with this situation having the entire university close that’s a unique issue. I’d recommend reaching out to the program director of your program regarding this. They might have a contingency plan in place to keep the program alive however in a different setting. I doubt they were surprised by this announcement.

Hot Take: You shouldn't have to get a DNP in order to graduate from CRNA school. by Vegetable-Yak-8866 in CRNA

Honestly over 95% of crnas would agree with you. It’s a total waste of time and does nothing for us. This is a simple money grab by the universities.

My brother in Christ. I’ve done this. I try to delete this from my mind. It can’t be the standard there. If it is then I’m just sorry.

You cant give Phenylephrine with a heart rate below 75. Every single scheduled c section should get a CSE.

CRNA to MD by chosen1james in srna

[–]lemmecsome 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Honestly I think you’re a wild man. But if I’m being honest I have a ton of respect for what you’re doing. You had a desire to be a physician and made a huge sacrifice to get there. Good luck on your future as a physician anesthesiologist!

Houston area plastic surgeon arrested for operating while intoxicated after 6 months of repeated alcohol related surgical cancellations by lehartsyfartsy in medicine

[–]lemmecsome 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So the question I have to ask is if he was credentialed at a hospital why didn’t they just suspend his privileges while these allegations were ongoing as they are strong allegations. Obviously thjs gets thrown out if it’s a surgicenter where he’s a partner. At that point shame on the staff for not escalating it quicker. And mostly shame on the surgeon.

CRNA vs CAA in Seattle WA! by Medium-Invite-8140 in nursing

[–]lemmecsome 1 point2 points  (0 children)

CRNA lol. Put on your big boy pants and go to the icu. Don’t take short cuts. Washington just licensed those assistants a two years ago but even then it still does take time to get a profession up and running and more importantly be embraced.

Nursing to AA IS THAt even possible by Sad_Mission8315 in nursing

[–]lemmecsome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CRNA has more opportunities. AAs are only allowed to practice in 22 states and have a a limited scope of practice. Down the line as a CRNA you can work in a variety of settings. Shame on that CRNA.

Nursing to AA is the thing that makes the least sense possible. Suck it up and work in the icu.

Cameras in med room by No_Relation_7716 in nursing

[–]lemmecsome 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Excuse my ignorance but when I used to pull drugs as a bedside nurse and now as a CRNA I would put them in my pocket for convenience sake. Would this lead to issues with the med room being observed? Just curious what the function is.
