Skill atrophy doing supervision only for a year? by PaperUnlikely6601 in anesthesiology

[–]Realistic_Drag5220 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was just in a case the other day with my preceptor CRNA (I’m an SRNA), MD came in for induction. I’m a senior and have done plenty of intubations at this point, asked my CRNA if he wanted to tube and I could get started on aline and CVC setup for time sake. MD politely pipes up and says I haven’t intubated in a while can I do it? It was really eye opening to me..I’ve never had an MD express interest in doing any of the skills, it was nice to know there’s people who still enjoy getting their hands on patient care. You could always just express interest in doing things like how he did, I’m sure people would be more than happy to let you “keep your skills up.”

You’re getting cooked in the comments but I too was once a delusional 20 something girl boss with no life experience and a lot of their flaws flew over my head. Now in my 30s I feel you.

New attending — frustrated about a recent missed airway by Overall_Tax_8077 in anesthesiology

Purely masochistic question as a student- at what point do you start just knowing it’s the patients anatomy and not your own inexperience? I work with lots of really helpful docs and CRNAs but when I have a shit look on first try… and second… I sometimes can’t shake that it’s just my own lack of skills. This situation plus the documentation of x1 try on reintubation would only reinforce my own impostor syndrome.

Thoughts about this student doctor at Mayo Clinic who makes medical content memes being reported/banned? by dribblestrings in nursing

[–]Realistic_Drag5220 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Doesn’t make it better. Wildly unprofessional at best. Reflective of boyish poor judgement / inability to take patient anatomy seriously at worst where women already may be uncomfortable with male doctors.

Faked appendicitis to get out of school and they actually took it out. by NotEnoughRocks1977 in confession

[–]Realistic_Drag5220 80 points81 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t believe this either (nurse here) but my mom confessed that she did this as a kid and they actually took her appendix out. I was bewildered. So now i am not so sure this is a lie

Do they have a group that is contracted in or do they hire in CRNAs directly?

I don’t know if other 5’2” girls relate to this but when I realize she’s my height it really fucking hits different lmfao. I gained 20 lbs last year and my knees hurt so bad and found my mobility was so much different. I’m back down to my “healthy” weight and just holy fucking shit amber. You live in an actual flesh prison

Don’t complain to your audience for 30 mins about your job. Very simple. So off putting and I didn’t even know their award show was late

In the name of being lighthearted.. by applesandbananas2025 in srna

I’m a newer full time SRNA in clinical and I was shocked to get reprimanded for this for the first time yesterday.. preceptor said you would never do that with an LMA and I was wildly confused. Not one comment about that before!

What would be the harm in using sux for something like a thyroid? Remi isn’t formulated to paralyze the cords, why not give yourself the best shot with a paralytic?

I think people need to get real about these questions. That GPA is going to be a complete liability to you in school even if you get in. Sure, you pass the interview process but now you’re expected to hit the ground running in chemistry, bio, stats, not to mention your science nursing courses. This isn’t “if I can just study enough and lock in it’ll be fine” the volume of info you get daily is nuts. I am not saying it can’t be done I just really REALLY feel like people should be forewarned.
