I know this is redundant, but I am sick and tired of Donald Trump disrespecting Canada. I cannot and will never be neutral on this issue.

This is Canada's new federal minister of health - and first nurse, to my knowledge, to hold this position.

It sounds like you also gained the experience to be an excellent advanced practice nurse!

Absolutely agree. The Canadian healthcare system is in dire need of change and improvement.

Yes - advanced practice nurses such as nurse anesthetists and nurse practitioners decide medication administration as they can function as independent practitioners and can delegate care. NPs do the same in Canada.

I want to reiterate why I am advocating for this is because a family member of mine (a paediatric patient) did not receive the care he needed due a lack of anesthesiologists. Again, that is unacceptable and a low standard of care.

I think “irresponsible “ is a dangerous misnomer. What the media is doing is presenting an alternative solution to something that has been broken for a long time. As a point, Nurse practitioners were also a solution brought to Canada from the US in the 1960s to help primary care access.

Regarding “lowering standards” - nurse anesthetists work in some of the best hospitals in the world providing high quality and safe anesthesia care. The alternative in Canada? Cancelled surgeries, long waits, and closed OB services. To me that’s unacceptable for my family in Canada.

Before receiving advanced graduate education in anesthesia (3 yr program), CRNAs spend over 2 years working as an RN in an ICU. Before I became a nurse anesthetist, I was an RN for over 10 years in emergency and ICU settings. Can we and do we run codes? Absolutely we do. We also save patient lives

Hi there! I feel this is an opportune moment to provide some education . We are advanced practice nurses who have been specializing in anesthesia for over 150 years (even before physicians).

When I was at Mayo Rochester, I was training in oncology, but the history of nurse anesthesia was part of the non-academic Mayo culture curriculum.
Nurse anesthesia is part of Mayo practice since 1890s.
libraryguides.mayo.edu/historicalun...
When Dr. William Worrell Mayo his two sons, Dr. William J Mayo and Charles mayo began practising medicine Rochester Manitoba, techniques for administering anesthesia were crude and assistance was needed for this to be done properly The hiring and training of Nurse anaesthetist was vital properly and safely perform surgery and procedures. Three Nurse anaesthetist to revival in the early Edith Graham, Mayo, Alice Magaw Castle, and Florence Henderson

Canada needs more anesthesiologists to keep up with demand. I heard from more than a dozen Canadian nurse anesthetists who work in the U.S., many of which say nurse anesthetists would be able to help out. But Canada doesn’t have nurse anesthetists. More here: www.cbc.ca/radio/whitec...

We work as collaborative anesthesia teams with physician anesthesiologists. The answer is not for CRNAs to replace anesthesiologists in Canada, but to help improve access by utilizing our expertise and creating efficient care models
