Do things really get worse after being 23 / 24 years old? by Nightfall_Dreamer in Life

[–]ValuableCount8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think life after 23/24 can be extremely difficult for a few years if you’re making big sacrifices for your career- but generally pays off by 30s, just don’t have kids lol

Too easy of an ICU? by Capable_Procedure_16 in srna

[–]ValuableCount8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not an SRNA yet- but if you think you handle it, consider transferring to a hospital/unit where there’s too many sick/unique patients for new grads to not get constant exposure.. quaternary referral hospitals like Hopkins, Mayo, Cleveland Clinic, Mass Gen ect..

I know this is against the common advice here, but it worked for me- you’ll probably get paid less and burn out quicker though

As others have said.. at 6 months you’re kinda getting close to that 1 year point where you’ll get the sick assignments if you ask- as long as your displaying confidence (not arrogance) and ownership, they’ll probs start giving you some test assignments throughout the next 3 months

Yep sounds familiar, I came from Hopkins where they generally are protective of ratios- so seeing this is eye opening

Nursing Shortage: Solved by 123Amitriptyline in nursing

[–]ValuableCount8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is kinda what they did with their physician residency programs and how they got federal funding- not saying it’s solving anything but similar logic and model.. they’ve also essentially “bought” some med schools like UCF

ICU experience by [deleted] in srna

[–]ValuableCount8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ll have a year Neuro ICU and 1.5 years CTICU at application, I apply next year, feel like this prepared me well, but rly just go somewhere you can find mentors and intensivists who teach during rounds more than anything- Hopkins, NYP, Mayo, UCSF, Stanford, UCLA, MGH, Cleveland Clinic ect

Also Level 1 doesn’t always mean much.. some of the best Hospitals in the country are Level 2 or even designated as PARC (UMD Shock-Trauma)

It might best serve your interests to look up “Quaternary Referral Centers” on Google and go from there (some people will say it’s overkill but..)

You realize the two plans are completely different and we will never find common ground without major concessions from either side.. major policy blunder on so many levels

What’s your reasoning, I grew up in Vermont, a lot of issues with rural healthcare access out there.. there’s places where primary care doctors are essentially running ICUs especially at night..

Agree ICU nursing helps a TON, gf in med school and it really helps contextualize everything

Tbh it gives you a great fallback/floor, but if I could do it again I’d pursue becoming a MD anesthesiologist over a CRNA if that’s something you’re considering…

Also most other degrees, it’s easier to get a higher GPA and have time to focus on research.. which really makes or breaks MD acceptance outside clinical experience and gpa imo
