will mdas really be out of the job?
Doesn't the nursing profession have a chronic shortage of people going into it?
Isn't it true that the only country in the world that provides more nurses than it needs is the Phillipines?
Do all nurses that qualify want to be CRNA's?
Isn't there enough work to go around?
In the UK we dont have anyone else who can administer general anaesthesia except an anaesthetist (which is what we call anaesthesiologists - very long word!).
and even then i dont think any of them would claim to 'run the recovery room'.
How? if you're in an op?
ooh you guys, you shouyld really try to love the nurses, it so is the shortcut to an easier life.
In the UK the medical profession made the mistake of stating that it alone would be the regulator of what other professions could and could not do. especially nursing. the result being a huge workload for them. unfortunately in this day and agethe medical profession now wants more time off, however they are not willing to let anything go clnically perhaps for fear of being boosted out, perhaps for genuine patient concern but we are in a glut here, where the nursing profession is desperate for advancement but the medical profession won't let them have anything that will make a real difference and so the case goes on.
in a way US medics have it easier because there is someone else who can do that job. you have shown us that medicine doesn't have to be the exclusive decider in a patients care. furthermore it becomes clear that doctors arent gods. something that's at least 5 years behind across the pond.
but seriously though, dont worry about being shoved out, the chances of that happening are so astronomically small that to even consider it is a complete waste of time.
