For others to use this title is an attempt to deceive. Shame on you for being so small minded regarding your profession. The profession needs alot less nurses like you…. If you earn a Doctorate…. That statement alone shows that you have no concept of reality. Learn to be a professional before you try and claim to be. In this model, an MD anesthesiologist supervises up to four CRNAs who work in up to four different operating rooms simultaneously. The responsibility for the anesthesia care in this model resides with the supervising MD anesthesiologist.
This care is personally provided by or directed by the anesthesiologist. The primary motivation for this change was the fact that hospitals in rural communities had inadequate numbers of physician anesthesiologists. Empowering CRNAs to work alone made surgery more accessible to patients in these rural areas. I have no personal connection to or communication with the Watertown Regional Medical Center, but a small community like the one in Watertown Wisconsin likely was unable to recruit or retain a full lineup of MD anesthesiologists, so they were forced to staff with CRNAs.
There is. This study has been widely discussed. Meanwhile, the CRNAs are the ones that are administering the anesthesia. Our interactions with surgeons diminish to the point where they feel the CRNAs are doing all the work and no physician anesthesiologist is needed. I disagree that MD anesthesiologists will be pushed out the doors nationwide. Easy anesthetic cases can be done by either MDs or CRNAs, but complex cases open heart surgery, brain surgery, neonatal surgery, surgery on patients with multiple medical comorbidities will nearly always require physician anesthesiologists.
Becoming an MD is not the only way to make a good living working in healthcare. Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists overlap with the duties of anesthesiologists in many regards, and may make you wonder if the lifestyle and process of becoming an MD is really what you want out of your career.
This will further help you understand why you may want to specifically become a doctor, and also help you become more familiar with the professional environment that doctors practice in. Exploration of other healthcare fields may also lead you to a different realization of what you want out of your career. When exploring other jobs in healthcare you may find that a different pursuit may save you a lot of time, money, and stress while providing you with many of the same rewards you were hoping to find in on the other side of your residency.
On top of this, the education for an MD is much more financially burdensome throughout those years. I want to take care of them and their families. That's a big reason I went into nursing in the beginning is because it's meaningful work, as I mentioned in previous videos. It really makes me feel fulfilled and I feel like I'm making a difference in the world. Reason 2 is I could work all throughout nursing school. I could save up enough money to pay my tuition as I went.
I got my associates degree. It's more flexible as far as working goes and that's something that's very important to me. That's not really something that made my decision, but it's something that I think is important to consider. Another huge reason is work is not my life and I need a work-like balance. As much as I love nursing, anesthesia, and everything that I'm doing, I also love a lot of other things like travel, animals, my husband, and doing things outside of work.
I don't want to have work consuming my life. A lot of doctors, surgeons, and specialists -- just doctors overall -- are at work all the time. They're always on call. They always have to be available. I don't want that to be my life. I want to do my work, leave, and then have my own personal time that doesn't have anything to do with work.
I don't want to be worrying about people calling me and having to go back in. That's a huge benefit of nursing to me is you get to have that patient interaction. You get to specialize. You get to do all that stuff. But also once you leave, another nurse is there. They take your place and you're not responsible for things when you're at home.
There are a lot of perks about nursing that people don't realize. I made a video about the top 10 reasons why nursing is awesome and I'll link that in the description below. But just to quickly go over some of that stuff, if you haven't seen that video, is we have flexible work schedules.
We're able to work whatever shifts and hours we want. We're able to switch specialties if we get bored, burnt out of one, or realize we're passionate about something else. We're able to pursue a higher education if we want to, but we don't have to because we're perfectly fine with just having an associates, bachelors, and being a registered nurse.
But if you do want to go further, it's very easy. A lot of times, the hospital will pay for you to do that and you can continue working throughout the process.
