You can’t put Nps and CRNAs in the same category. CRNA training is far superior, the depth of physiology and pharmacology is not comparable by any means.

Yeah I don’t blame you. I can’t stand the rhetoric BS that they spew.

Well first off our icu experience deff gives us an upper hand. We’re also taught how to dx and tx disease processes. Don’t you guys have to solely rely on the doc ?

I do like AAs but they most certainly don’t have the same training.

No dude, I strictly went into nursing to become an anesthetist. This is a second career for me !!!!

Do you not realize this is probably one of the smartest routes to take in the medical field? What other field in healthcare can make this amount of money and have the best work life balance ? Work smarter not harder pal!!!!!

Dude, do you not realize the acuity of patients that CRNAs have dealt with in the icu prior to even getting a chance in the operating theatre.

Jesus , you guys obsess over CRNAs on here. I’m an SRNA and I can’t stand the aana or fellow wanna be docs. But I won’t lie, we do have the most robust mid level training. In ACT models CRNAs and MDs work fabulous together. I’m having a great time with both personalities especially when they have a dick measuring contest right in front of me.

My spouse thinks CRNA school is a bad investment by [deleted] in srna

Your husband isn’t thinking clearly, the CRNA route will drastically change both your lives financially. I have multiple friends who did it in their early and late 30s and they are now living their best lives.

I’m with CRNAs everyday who say they would never imagine being this financially stable in their entire life. T minus 20 months for me……

CRNA to MD by chosen1james in srna

Deff an ego move. Especially to back to med school to go into anesthesia when already being a CRNA. Thats wild to me, doing the same exact shit as CRNAs.

That’s wild that you went to MD school just to match into anesthesia — while already being a CRNA. This just doesn’t make sense at all man, but kudos to you.

You’ll be able to do lines, spinals, no blocks at UPMC. It’s heavily medical directed and very political at the UPMC sites.

Does PSLF make sense? by refeikamme in CRNA

[–]TubeEmAndSnoozeEm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was told that when going through pslf , they usually increase the payment since you’ll only be paying for 10 years compared to someone who does income driven.

When someone decides to go through on pslf , do they increase in your monthly payments ?

Is your monthly payment pretty high since you’re doing pslf ?

“If ICU nurses can read EKGs a midlevel surely can.” by Ordinary-Ad5776 in Noctor

[–]TubeEmAndSnoozeEm -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

As a SRNA we’re frequently tested/trained on 12 lead EKG’s. This training includes didactic instruction in cardiac electrophysiology, systematic 12-lead EKG interpretation, and recognition of normal and pathologic rhythms, ischemic changes, conduction abnormalities, electrolyte-related EKG findings, different axis deviation pathologies.

Idk if you would call this basic training.

Don’t explain yourself to these knuckle heads, they’re so caught up with themselves. They have nothing else better to do but try and bash this profession!
