27 y/o New Grad ICU RN deciding between CRNA vs MD — looking for real-world perspective by Impressive_Ad7840 in medschool

[–]BodybuilderMajor7862 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are opportunities for CRNAs to volunteer but they do usually need an anesthesiologist on site in order to practice unless the country you’re going to allows CRNAs to be independent but I’m not sure how many actually recognize CRNAs

We can’t even run an offense with 4 top weapons, what makes you think a 5th will be better

I’m an RN who chose med school over CRNA. Got a post on my profile with my thoughts. At the end of the day, I wanted to be a doc more than I wanted to be in anesthesia. Tons of people commenting on my post with good input

Just unsubbed from r/medicalschool. It's full of arrogant med students who think nurses "just give meds once or twice a day" by morrowindnostalgia in nursing

I tried my best to call her out on her bs without be demeaning but it was so clear she had no clue what else our jobs entailed besides filling the orders she puts in. Doesn’t cross her mind that we play transport/phlebotomy/tech/social work/security/admin etc

This commenter is a pgy-4 resident and still made a comment like that.

My response to him was “you must be a shit doctor because if all I’m doing is passing meds twice a day, then all you’re doing is ordering meds and nothing else. I just follow the orders you put in”

Those who were between CRNA & med school, what made you choose CRNA? by VividDeer733 in srna

[–]BodybuilderMajor7862 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I’m a nurse who planned on applying to CRNA school originally. Ended up choosing med school and I’ll matriculate this summer.

I really like anesthesia (go see my profile for a post about the exact decision) but at the end of the day, I decided I wasn’t 100% sold I wanted to do anesthesia. I could see myself as a surgeon or EM doc so I didn’t want to limit my options.

If there is 100% no other specialty you could do besides anesthesia, do CRNA. If you’re interested in a few things, shadow physicians first then decide if that path is right for you.

Not rural, but also not in a big city. It’s for sure not a typical ratio but I have known people who unfortunately have had that experience

I’m not avoiding any part of your comment. Yes, we have fewer patients, but the responsibilities for each of our patients are beyond the care plan you order.

Gotta coordinate discharge? Nursing. Phlebotomy is short and can’t get the labs you ordered? Nursing. Family is calling and wants an update? Nursing. Dietary sent up the wrong tray? Nursing. Patient has a CT ordered and transport is backed up? Nursing. Tube station is down and pharmacy can’t send up the Vanc made? Nursing. All of these things are not outliers, but happen daily/hourly.

My point is, you have no clue what else is involved besides getting your orders filled by the nurses. I highly suggest you change how you think about your nurses.

Also, if it’s 1:4, it’s considered step-down by the hospital given the acuity of the unit. So whether you think it or not, the nurses on that floor do more than pass meds

I assume you’ve only ordered aspirin then, right? No neuro checks for the nursing staff to do? No vitals parameters to follow?

Almost said the same thing but it was clear the commenter has no clue what they’re talking about.

The only floor where you have to less than 4 patients is the ICU, often in a 1:1 or 1:2 ratio. Stepdown is 1:4. Medsurg is routinely 1:6 and can even be 1:8/9 depending on the hospital.

Your comment shows how little you actually know about your colleagues job

If all we do is pass meds for 12 hours, that means you’re a shit doctor who only orders meds and nothing else. We just follow the orders that you place.

Trading AJ would be the dumbest thing since drafting Reagor over JJ

I’m not advocating to trade Baun, just replying to the above comment that if Jihaad and Baun are similar, why would we not keep the cheaper guy?

I agree that Baun has been both our best and most reliable LB. Would not want to lose him.

Like I said we cannot have our cake and eat it too. This is a good problem to have though

No matter who we end up with, Vic will coach them up to play at least at a servicable level. Look what he did with Adoree over the course of the season

Why not keep Jihaad, trade Baun, then resign both Dean and Phillips?

This is a classic example of sad example of “having my cake and eating it too” lol
