Abstract
In this article, the writer points out that in the U.S.A., anesthesiology or anesthesia care is generally provided by two specialized groups of people: certified registered nurse anesthetists, or CRNA, and anesthesiologists, or physicians. The writer then discusses the issue of Medicare reimbursement for student nurse anesthetists and anesthesiology residents. The writer mentions that one of the foremost problems is the failure to fund health care adequately, and the fact that Medicare and Medicaid have not kept up with the escalating costs and the rate of inflation. The writer concludes that no one knows today what the future direction of the Medicare or Medicaid Reimbursement Difference Bill for student nurse anesthetists vs. anesthesiology residents will take, and one can only hope that it does not exacerbate and aggravate the already existing nursing shortage in the country.
From the Paper
"It is not surprising, said Hinchey, that there is a nursing shortage in the United States. New York would have a shortage of 12,640 RNs within a period of two years, and by the year 2010, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics the nursing shortage would most probably grow to one million nurses in the United States of America. One of the foremost problems is the failure to adequately fund health care, and the fact that Medicare and Medicaid have not kept up with the escalating costs, and the rate of inflation. For example, when statistics reveal that the costs of providing health care has increased by about 22.4 percent over the past few years, the Medicare reimbursements for nurses at one hospital had only increased by 7.2%, and this gap has serious consequences indeed for the nursing community. It must be stated that the health care system, therefore, needs an increased funding for Medicare and Medicaid from Washington, but the Republican leadership in Congress has not made any efforts to implement this."

The paper provides a brief history of advanced nursing and nurse anesthetists and examines the situation and status of Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs). The paper predicts a bright outlook for this professional specialization in the nursing profession.
Outline:
Introduction and Overview
Brief History of Advanced Nursing and Nurse Anesthetists
Situation and Status of CRNAs
Licensure and Legal Requirements
Conclusion
From the Paper
"If one considers the historical development of nursing and particularly advanced nursing practices, it becomes evident that until fairly recently nursing was considered more as an adjunct to the medical profession and an extension of the healthcare environment than an independent profession. However the concept and reality of the nursing profession has undergone radical change in the last century. In the first instance nursing has become more holistic in nature and has also entered into more technologically orientated areas of medical expertise that were previously reserved for specialists."

Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists, 2004.
This paper discusses the need for Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNA) in rural health care.

Abstract
This paper explains that, because of the lack of physician anesthesiologists in rural areas, the utilization of CRNAs in the rural health care setting is a perfect match. The author points out that the federal government through the Health Care Financing Administration has recently removed the federal requirement that nurse anesthetists be supervised by physicians when caring for Medicare patients. The paper stresses that CRNAs are a wise choice for medically under-served populations because they also can provide services outside of the operating room, such as pain management, obstetrical services, intubations, the initiation of intravenous lines, and lumbar punctures.
From the Paper
"In the recent past, the Bureau of Health Professions in the Health Resources and Services division of the US Department of Human Services administered important programs, which were meant to help alleviate the problem of the shortage of trained healthcare professionals in rural America. These programs allowed for the recruiting and retention of qualified health professionals of all disciplines for practice in rural and classically underserved areas. It is therefore unfortunate that funding for the Health Professions acquisitions programs has decreased to the point where the programs were severely under-funded and unable to accomplish goals set in Title VII of the Public Health Services Act. In addition to the woeful under funding of health professions programs, entitlements were made subject to yearly review and justification and the inability of program administrators to adequately forecast funds made each position opened one of uncertainty, causing a lack of long term stability in the provision of quality health care."

Abstract
Nurse Anesthetist
References
From the Paper
"Malpractices while administering anesthesia are responsible for a huge amount of cases of medical malpractice. Compensation emanating from errors of anesthesia is damaging, thus sometimes leading to lasting injury, intense damage of the brain or loss of life. Proving the carelessness of the anesthesiologist or the anesthesia personnel is complicated as well, since the plaintiff is sometimes in comatose condition or under the influence of medicines and untrustworthy accounts are sometimes the remaining sources of information. Whereas injuries related to anesthesia are in majority of the situations contemplated as happening inside the operating room, it can also happen in a broad diversity of environments, inclusive of pre-operative and recovery rooms, in any procedure rooms, during labor and delivery, at the time of medication in case of dental procedures, and also at the time of broad range of out-patient medical processes in surgical clinics and also in the offices of doctors.

Abstract
This paper addresses the role of nurse anesthetists in administering anesthesia to patients, looking at their education and training as well as the care that they give to their patients.
From the Paper
"It may be useful to begin with a definition of a certified registered nurse anesthetist. A nurse anesthetist must complete two to three years of a post-graduate program in anesthesia and have graduated from an accredited nurse anesthesia program. In addition she or he must have passed the national certification exam for nurse anesthetists.
Nurse anesthetists are qualified to administer any type of anesthesia that a patient may need during the course of treatment, including general anesthesia as well as spinal, epidural, regional, or local anesthesia. Certified registered nurse anesthetists now administer between 65% and 70% of the 26 million anesthetics given each year in the United States today. "

From the Paper
"During World War II, the United States interned Japanese residents of the Western states in internment camps such as that at Manzanar in California. The reason was indicated in Executive Order 9066, signed in 1942 by President Roosevelt to give authority to the War Department to define military areas in the western states and to exclude anyone who might be seen as threatening the war effort (Houston and Houston xi-xii). Japanese living in the Western states were seen as potential subversives and were summarily removed to camps to prevent this. The camps operated until after the surrender of Japan, though the U.S. Supreme Court ruled at the end of 1944 that loyal citizens could not be held in detention camps against their will (Houston and Houston, 1973, xii). The United States was wrong to place any Japanese who had not committed any offense into..."

Abstract
This paper discusses the recent controversy surrounding the passage of the Medicare Teaching Anesthesiology Funding Restoration Act of 2006, which puts nurse anesthetists in-training at a funding disadvantage compared to anesthesiology physician residents. The paper briefly provides an historical and legal background of the current situation, discusses the consequences of such a bill on the specialty and outlines measures that must be taken to avert this.
From the Paper
"The gradual overlap of some medical and nursing professions has sparked some controversies regarding professional boundaries, respective duties and responsibilities and their places in the health care system. In particular, Medicare/Medicaid reimbursement for students - nurse anesthetists and anesthesiologists in-training - has become a bone of contention for several reasons. Recently, the introduction of H.R. 5246 and 5348 in Congress and S. 2990 in the Senate (Medical Teaching Anesthesiology Funding Restoration Act of 2006) aims to address the inadequate compensation and funding of anesthesiology trainee programs in order to bolster the decreasing ranks of anesthesiologists (U.S. Congress, 2006; U.S. Senate, 2006)."

Abstract
Some Manitoba politicians have argued that the province's average resident is economically better off than his or her British Columbia counterpart. At first glance, this might appear to be unusual in light of the understanding that British Columbia is a much larger province in terms of population and has achieved strong growth during recent years as a result of a robust market for the province's natural resource exports. With this in mind, the purpose of this paper will be to examine this particular claim. An assessment will be made of the merits of this claim using primary data sources, most notably the information that is provided by Statistics Canada.

Abstract
This paper presents an analysis of senior residences and care options. The writer explores several choices for the care of senior citizens and discusses the positive and negative aspects of each one. The paper includes statistics about the age and percentages of elderly people in society. In addition, the writer presents a literature review on studies and other published works regarding the issue. The literature establishes that long term residential acute care and living assisted care, place a financial burden on the families and the government. The writer concludes by arguing that it is necessary to re-evaluate and revamp the residential and care facilities currently available.
From the Paper
"Over the past fifty years advances in medical science have allowed people to live longer than ever before. The average lifespan is expanding, as is the quality of life for those who reach the golden years. There are many contributing factors to the needs of the elderly with a primary focus on residential care. Senior citizens often find themselves in need of residential care, whether that care is full service, or assisted living. The nation?s care options have been scrutinized for years and some shocking results have come out of the studies"

Agatha Hodgins: Nurse Anesthetist Pioneer, 2007.
This paper discusses the work and contributions of Agatha Hodgins, a pioneer in the field of nurse anesthesia.
1,385 words (approx. 5.5 pages), 4 sources, APA, £ 32.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that, in the early years, until the use of certified specialty nurse anesthetists, many patients died or had severe complications during and after surgery because the person administering the anesthesia had little training and the physician had to divide his attention between the anesthesia and the actual surgery. The author points out that Agatha Hodgins did much more than teach nurses how to administer anesthesia under combat conditions because she also looked to the future of the profession and where it could go. The paper relates that, in 1939, Agatha Hodgins established the American Association of Nurse Anesthetists, which lead to the first national certification exam in 1945 and continues today as Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNA), professional licensed nurses who have extensive training in nurse anesthesia required after obtaining a Registered Nurse (RN) degree.
From the Paper
"During World War I, Agatha Hodgins served in France from 1914 to 1915. It was during this time that she helped train physicians and nurses from France and England in the administration of anesthesia. At this time the United States had not yet entered the war. Thank to the efforts of Agatha Hodgins and those she trained, nurse anesthetists have been the primary anesthesia administrators in combat areas. This has been the case in every war the United States has fought since World War I."

Abstract
This paper explains that transforming the concept of creating a green building, which interacts with the planet's ecosystem, into a coherent, rational and specific plan and constructing it is a challenge. The author points out that the conditions of a green building design process are low construction impact, resource efficiency through the life of the building, long lasting, nontoxic and aesthetically pleasing. The paper relates that choosing wood, especially large timbers, for a green home may seem odd; however, wood is the greenest of green building materials because it is a dense collection of cellulose that is strong, flexible, and eminently workable and is a renewable resource.

Introduction: A Wealthy Celebrity's Green Dream
The Location: The Inland Pacific Northwest
The Design: Materials and Structure
The Design: Peripheral Systems
Conclusions: The Green Home
From the Paper
"With the client's requirements in mind, the site considerations, and the aforementioned green building criteria, I have determined that the most appropriate building style for this site will be pole construction, in which large round timbers provide the skeletal support structure on which the roof and floors are hung. Pole construction has the benefit of being easily adaptable to most sites, including the steep site that the client owns. In addition, the simplicity of the construction method means that both material and labor costs are reduced dramatically, further limiting resource and energy depletion."

"College Academic Performance as a Function
of Residence: A Research Proposal
Introduction
Disagreement is present in the literature in relation to the impact of residence on the academic performance of college and university students. Almost all studies reported in the literature report on investigations of first.year collegiate experiences. Some of the reported studies investigated narrowly defined segments of student populations, and many failed to assess intervening variables such as academic ability.
Brody (1988, pp. 347.359) found that early.entry freshmen who commuted to classes performed at a higher academic level than did students who lived on campus. Early.entry students, however, are younger (at times substantially so) than the typical first.year college..."

Abstract
This paper relates the accomplishments of Helen Lamb Frost, who revolutionized anesthesiology by establishing the School of Anesthesia in St. Louis, Missouri in 1921 (AANA, 2005). The author points out that School of Anesthesia (1) introduced a new organization to anesthesiology's medical and academic significance in the field of medicine, (2) assisted the emergence professional organization such as the American Association of Nurse Anesthetists or AANA and (3) developed the standards for using anesthesiology in the field of medicine. The paper stresses that Lamb 'humanized' anesthesiology as a science by Lamb, in order making it patients safer thus making them more receptive to the use of anesthesia before undergoing a crucial medical procedure or operation.
From the Paper
"AANA's study on patient safety in the office setting is one such example. Hornsby, in his article entitled, "Anesthesia's New Frontier: Ensuring Patient Safety in the Office Setting," focused on introducing the new method of conducting "office-based surgery." This new concept is presented as a new way in which medical practitioners adapt to the changing lifestyles and environments that people find themselves in everyday. As in the case of most people who work inside offices, Hornsby and the AANA delved on the possibility of promoting safe "surgical and anesthesia care" in the office setting to people who find themselves unable to commit themselves to caring for their health and illnesses for fear of missing out on work."

Abstract
This paper discusses whether police use different standards of severity when dealing with resident versus non-resident drivers in Florida. The paper uses the regression analysis, which estimates the significance of the variation of the dependant phenomenon with the independent and the influence of the latter on the former. The paper explains its analysis and shows that a relationship does exist.
From the Paper
"The hypothesis is tested with the confidence level of 95%, thus the allowed chance of rejecting no relationship between the variables when there is actually this relationship, is 5%. Decreasing the confidence level to 90% will give more errors in the model and the model did not result in better relationship. Having carried out this multifactor regression, the result revealed that there is no statistically significant relationship between the over speeding and the fact that the person is a resident or non resident and the gender of the person. The first problem with the model could be the very data set as out of the 536 observations in the population, only 136 were the cases when people were none residents. Thus, the results could be distorted. The R2 in the model is extremely low and reveals that very little variation in the severity of this crime could be explain by the factors in the model. P-values are low only for the intercept and none-residence factor."
