I’m a prelim surgery intern and worked 80.5 hours last week. Yea it sucks, but I can already tell a difference when it comes to writing notes and my efficiency in managing patients on my service. I remember during nurse anesthesia school, the most I ever worked in one week was 48+ by doing two 24-hour shifts on OB. Sure, you could read, study, and take all the exams to become knowledgeable, but there’s something to be said about the repetition you get when working those kind of hours. With that being said, could nursing education in any specialty even attempt to do this?
