Hi, I know that some people have very strong opinions on this topic so I would like if this remained civil. If you are a doctor or resident I would love to hear how you feel about the CRNA’s that you work with or have worked with. What is your general impression of them? Do you feel they provide safe care? Do they help ease the workload off of physicians? Do you respect the CRNA’s in your workplace and do you trust them? I’m a college student in nursing at the moment (getting my BSN), but I’ve also thought about taking my pre-med requirements because I’m only a few classes away from being eligible to take the MCAT and apply to med school. I’ve always wanted to work in anesthesia and I think both the CRNA route and the Anesthesiologist route look like good career paths. To summarize what I’m asking, how do you feel about working with a CRNA and do you get along with one another? My main concern is that I’ve seen a lot of hostility from people on this website regarding this profession and I didn’t know if that’s how they are truly treated at their job everyday. (So again this discussion isn’t to ask who’s better or cause any fights between these two careers.) Thank you to anyone who decides to leave a comment!
