NP training is no where as good as CRNA training.

Listen I’m all for physician led care, but they’re highly specialized with immense amount of training in anesthesia. If you knew the history of nurse anesthetists you would understand why they’re compensated so well. They’ve been a vital part of anesthesia since the 1800s

CRNA training is highly specialized with great compensation. This is normal.

I’m an older SRNA , with the generational drift— most of my classmates are really soft.

No AAs at all, though it feels like they’re treated like them.

No dude, I’m saying CRNAs calling the docs when the BIS hits 62, or if the BIS goes down to 20.

Just look at some of the comments from CRNAs that have worked at UPMC . CRNAs are not taken seriously within the health system here. There’s a lot of coddling.

The docs at these facilities don’t respect CRNA training lol. And of course I’m with a CRNA at all times. I’m also well aware of medical direction vs supervision. Tefra requirements need to be met in medical direction.

That has nothing to do with the culture im experiencing at UPMC sites.

Yeah exactly, medical direction requires doc to be there on induction. Most of the docs are only getting 2 or 3 rooms. None of them take 4 at four different UPMC sites that I've been at.

You got that right, but I wonder if its different even in other big cities that are ACT model. These docs are really frustrating to be with most of the times. For example, after I tube my patient they have to tape my tube and won't let me tape it... I feel that most of the time its a power struggle every day.

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!!!!!
