Nurse Anesthetists

Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists are highly trained advanced nursing professionals and have been giving anesthesia for over 100 years. There is no difference in the clinical practice of a CRNA versus a physician anesthesiologist. CRNAs practice in all settings where anesthesia is provided whether as part of a group or in solo private practice. There are more than 35, 000 CRNAs practicing in the United States.

CNRA's have been around for 100 years and are no different than a physician? Stop kidding yourself and get a clue.

@tlsasser What pray tell is a CNRA? Thanks for stopping by.....

Does this national organization recognize the absolute need to BIS or other type awareness units for Generals. I do not care for the ASA as they lied for years about awareness.

@biggseye The AANA Position Statement on anesthesia awareness can be found here: aanaDOTcom/ResourcesDOTaspx?id­=24804

Obviously replace "DOT" both places in the link with a period. Scroll down to PS 2.12

Sheesh! im trying to learn more about nurse anesthetists through the comments but all i see are bunch of arguing and fighting...-__- soo much for being professionals in the medical field whether you went to medical school or not. way to make nurses and doctors look bad.

In my years as a paramedic I've seen doctors that couldn't intubate a patient if their lives depended on it. I've also seen nurses that couldn't tell Vfib from v tach. It's all based on what the student learns and how well they practice medicine. I'm currently a CRNA student and I know for a fact that nurse anesthetists are extremely well prepared to work autonomously in the operating room.

@DrSandmann You are dead wrong. In many underserved rural areas of the country, CRNs work autonomously without anesthesiologists' supervision! You are dumb as fuck!

[k3v015Mk]

this sounds kind of dumb but if a CRNA does pretty much everything that an Anesthestiologiest does then what is the real difference between the two besides one is more money and twice the schooling? thanks just curious

[tlsasser]

@medicvideo simple misspelling, but the point is grasped by others.

[myalouis911]

@DrSandmann OMG stop bashing nurses! If this is how doctors look at nurses then I may reconsider that profession. You said nurses need a doctor supervision because they are not properly trained. Well that is a lie because I am pretty sure that they would not make untrained people become nurses. Plus EVERYONE knows the hospital will not function properly without nurses so stop bashing them. There are some things a nurse can do that a doctor cannot & vice versa. In the year 2015 NP will need a DNP
