Day in the Life of a Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist (SRNA)

[@LimaBabeX3]

Goalllsss! I’m a new grad nurse in nyc trying to find a job (ICU) so I can specialize in anesthesia. This reminds me to keep pushing 👊🏿

[@antoniowebbmd]

Keep going!

[@nigeriannurse2819]

Typically New grads do not get hired in the ICU or CCU... you would have to start your career on a med-surg floor or lower before becoming eligible for an ICU unit to look at your resume. After you spend a year or so in the ICU or CCU you may take the next steps to apply to a CRNA program... My aunt is an Anesthesiologist MD that is what was explained to me by her and other colleagues. If anyone has heard different please advise me otherwise... Thank you fellow Healthcare Providers :-)

[@tylermathews6668]

Hey @halimafarouk I’m finishing up my last semester of nursing school, looking for great ICU experience. Can you suggest any hospitals in the nyc area

[@LimaBabeX3]

Nigerian Nurse yes I’m definitely applying to other positions aside from ICU.

[@LimaBabeX3]

All the trauma 1 hospitals are really good.. Bellevue, Lincoln , elmhurst, Kings county, Jacobi. But honestly any hospitals in Nyc is good

[@DrAdnan]

It’s cool how CRNA’s allow more patients to be seen, and help with costs and other things too.

[@rockyjohnson860]

lol how do they help with costs? you literally have no idea what youre talking about. Anesthesia reimbursement doesnt change depending on who is proving the care. stop drinking the cool aid that crnas want you to drink.

[@shonuff157]

rocky johnson quit ur jibba jabber. Spitting salty spit. U mad that u just study it and don’t practice it. Leave nurses alone. They be the true heroes while u be shining ur title

This was amazing! You’re so smart and inspiring. I’m gonna show your video to my 11 year old to encourage her. I live in the Buffalo area so it was cool to see the roads in your video and actually know the area. Best of luck in finishing up school, I’m sure you will have no issue finding a position. ❤️

Perfect timing!!! I researched this all last week. Thanks 🙌🏿

[@delightful5165]

Miaeisha Coln Aisha SRNA and Bolt SRNA have great KZbin channels documenting their studies in CRNA school. I recommend you check them out. I just watch for general interest.

[@JaeChristineOfficial]

Goals 😍😍😍.....I pray I can become a CRNA. I have two small children to care for in addition to the program. I'm feeling intimidated but hopeful!! I am definitely concerned that I'll miss the deadline and need my Doctorate degree however, which means even more schooling.

[@SwagGirl91]

Nature's Addiction ... I’m with you 👍🏾 It’s a lot to balance but imagine the accomplishment... You’ve got this! I just wonder what schools you might be considering and why?

[@Destiny_detroitdoc]

Wow I enjoyed this! Suddenly I'm eyeing anesthesia after my endoscopic procedure. I have never been soo excited about medicine until my experience with a CRNA! Neverrr thought i would consider this field. 2nd yr med student btw!

[@michelleflores8072]

I enjoyed your video and how you explained things. You could make a great teacher for future CRNA I guess I just find your voice very soothing and your informative . I can't wait to get to become a CRNA I got a ways to go but Im going to stay focused and goal oriented :)

[@stephaniewells6495]

I love it! Thank you for posting your video, very inspiring!

[@Miaonroblox]

Why is it recommended that you get experience in ICU, NICU etc to do anesthesia? Thank you

[@justelynnnjoelle]

To understand the tremendous amount of pressure that will be placed on you while on assignment for a case. ICU experience is required prior for CRNA school applications so that the evaluating board knows that the applicants are somewhat familiar with the mental taxation that will be placed on them. It is also required because in addition to the mental fatigue, you will have a much more specific scope of practice which will carry more responsibility and weigh more on legality since you are essentially responsible for keeping the patient at ease and sensationally unharmed prior and post operation. CRNAs will need to have extensive knowledge in MANY drug types and understand the timing and usage for each one depending on the current state of the patient.

[@bettysmith4527]

What was that yellow labeled stuff you dumped into the machine? Was it Isoflurane? I always thought the actual gas was stored in the hospital like they store oxygen. I never thought I would hear the "C" word again.... ugh, care plans!

[@chigasaki06]

Awesome! My brother attended UB. Great school.

[@antoniowebbmd]

Awesome!

[@Miaonroblox]

So CRNA you just need a bachelors? Then complete the program? No masters?

[@justelynnnjoelle]

No, many CRNA programs are phasing out the Masters of Nurse Anesthesia and are converting to DNP programs. I would suggest you watch some of BoltCRNA and Rhianna Ferial's videos. They cover a wide-breadth of topics including personal finance for CRNAs and of course how to get into CRNA school.

[@khaldounarabeyat6536]

Hallo.. I have diploma in anesthesia and recovery and bachelors degree in nursing. Is that enough to be CRNA ? I have 20 years experience anesthesia technician. Thanks

[@valeriee8211]

So I'm indecisive and kind of want to become a registered nurse. How hard do you consider this profession? I really need to take a route asap and want to become a nurse but is the job hard or stressful to accomplish?

[@bellefeu4933]

Only the things that are stressful and difficult are worth accomplishing. Never take the short road.

[@Stoneface_]

Alex Dorman agreed

[@mstrawder66]

Nursing school is very hard, I’m currently a nursing student keep pushing it will be worth it

[@youtubeyamiyibi5023]

Every job in life is hard and stressful just think about it that way. Please never take the short route. Go straight

[@MultiFireworkz]

Maybe try to shadow someone so you can get some firsthand experience :) I’ve just completed my first year of nursing and I’m still a bit indecisive but I do like it. All the best x

[@paulddearing]

Oh jeez you have it way more together than I do...my time in CRNA school has just been chaos so far...inspiring 😀

[@IamMe9121]

What are the differences between CRNA and Anesthiology Assistant (AA)? Also, since CRNA programs are shifting to doctorate degrees, will AA programs switch to doctorate too or will they be phased out?

[@JustCharnelle]

A CRNA is a registered nurse with a bachelors degree in nursing and at least 1-2 years of critical care experience plus 2-3 years of additional schooling for a masters or doctorate degree. AAs are required to have a bachelors degree (in any major) plus some premed courses. They are not required to have any experience. They then go through about 2 years of schooling. Once completed, AA’s are required to work under the direction of a anesthesiologist. Currently, they are only allowed to practice in 16 states.

[@IamMe9121]

Also, since CRNAs will now have doctorates will they have full equivalency to actual Anesthesiologists (MDs and DOs)? I wonder how this will change the profession and affect the specialty of anesthesiology

[@LigmaMale69]

They won't, the DNP is being pushed so that CRNA's can be prepared to teach and be a better researcher for implementing evidence based practice. It doesn't make them able to practice independently in states that currently don't allow it or anything. I personally think it's a waste, I want to go back to be a CRNA, but won't be able to make it in before the DNP requirement is implemented. I have no plans on teaching or doing research, so it's just an extra time and financial cost.

[@ericrenteriaear]

IamMe9121 A DNP (Doctorate in nursing) is a lot different then being a medical doctor. Just like an English professor with a PhD is different than an MD. Disclaimer: My mom has a DNP

[@JustCharnelle]

CRNAs are trained and have the ability to do the same job as an anesthesiologist. There are CRNA-only facilities where the CRNA does everything from regional to cardiac anesthesia without an anesthesiologist being present. However a DNP is a nursing doctorate degree which is different from a medical doctor degree. So in terms of the degree received, that’s not equivalent.

[@87docbrad]

@@JustCharnelle Although Anesthesiologists and CRNAs both provide anesthesia, they have significantly different roles and funds of knowledge. Anesthesiologists are Physicians first and able to manage all aspects of patient care including managing ICU's and taking care of extremely sick patients. The care-team model works quite well.

[@Stoneface_]

[@MARGARITA444]

I think it depends where you are located, in Indiana all you need is a bachelors In nursing

[@al3xis777]

Hey! After you earn your BSN, you can get your DNP without your MSN. In order to get into CRNA school, they usually require one to two years of experience in the ICU.

[@ghanamafia7199]

So whats the diff. btwn a CRNA and perfusionist?...cuz it seems like a CRNA does the perfusionist's job to a degree.

[@JustCharnelle]

A perfusionist manages ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) or the cardiopulmonary bypass machine during cardiac or other surgeries. The CRNA does not use these devices. In the OR, we manage the ventilator and administration of anesthetic gases as well as monitoring the patient and vital signs throughout.

[@ghanamafia7199]

@@JustCharnelle Is perfusion a career worth pursuing? I hear the bypass devices perfusionist's use will soon become automated...meaning, there will eventually be no need for perfusionists..I heard it's a dying field....Based on what you've observed, do you think this is true? If you don't want to give a brutally honest answer on youtube, please email me at "taymuglier @ hotmail . com" ....I need some serious advice...Please help me.

How long does it take to become a registered nurse anesthetist

[@antoniowebbmd]

Usually have to become an RN first which is 4 years. Work in ICU for 2 years and then apply. CRNA school is 2-3 years

[@girlletstalk5709]

How many years total???

[@chasef1077]

Total years? Around 8. Bachelors degree plus now most CRNA programs I know of are 4 years so around 8 total.

The college I’m going to has a nursing program, but it is for an associates, though you do receive your RN. Will I need to enroll in another college when I am finished to obtain a bachelors? Thank you! Great vid btw

[@ZSpear_Airsoft]

Quirky Q : there’s a ton of BSN schools that you can complete online after your ADN, RN. You’ll need to get a BSN if you want to do your masters, NP or CRNA since these are doctorate programs. Hope this helps!

Sorry to say, but the CRNA that did my epidural ruled over the 2 that I had done by anesthesiologists. Don't know if it was a fluke or what but the anesthesiologists didn't even help the pain 50%.
