-- Posted by 64 Booked at 4:58 pm on Jan. 2, 2009 It seems that from my last topic, the majority agree that general anesthetist, MD, is the more difficult career, compared to general surgeon, MD. Now, with that said, and with the knowledge that THERE ARE specialy trained nurses who administrate anesthesia (Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist; CRNA), should there be some kind of advanced nursing program to teach general surgery to registered nurses? Explain your answer. -- Posted by namefake3 at 4:58 pm on Jan. 2, 2009 no. -- Posted by Kyle92 at 4:59 pm on Jan. 2, 2009 maybe basic stuff in case the surgeon needs help or sumthin happens during the surgery -- Posted by Monroe at 4:59 pm on Jan. 2, 2009 No, a registered nurse is a nurse. A doctor/surgeon, whom goes to college for many years, should be the only one performing surgery. -- Posted by Fouad at 5:00 pm on Jan. 2, 2009 Quote: from namefake3 at 3:58 am on Jan. 3, 2009 no. why? -- Posted by 64 Booked at 9:29 pm on Jan. 2, 2009 Yes, why?
