Anesthesiologist or Nurse Anesthetist?? |
Can someone explain everything about those two jobs. What each one does exactly, the work environment, the pay, how long does it take to become one, and what you do when your planning to become one. I also want to know which one you think is a better choice because I want to be one. I have no idea which one I'd rather be. My choice would probably be based on the work environment like how a day in each position would be. If you have any other information than what I asked for, then I'd really appreciate it. Thanks In the United States, anesthesiology or anesthesia care is provided by two specialty groups, nurse anesthetists and anesthesiologists (physicians). Nurse anesthetists or certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNA) are licensed professional nurses (RNs) who undergo extensive training, become nationally certified by exam after graduation, and then provide services similar to an anesthesiologist. CRNAs can be licensed and practice in all fifty states. Anesthesiologists are physicians which after medical school (medicine or osteopathy), complete a one year internship and a three year residency in anesthesia. Prior to 1 July 1986, a two year residency was required. Following residency, they are considered board eligible in anesthesiology. Anesthesiologists have the option of becoming board certified. However, physician board certification is becoming compulsory by many medical or credentialing centers in order to obtain or maintain staff privileges. As a whole, the nurse anesthesia profession is 'silent.' Very few nonmedical layman, students, or professionals know of it's existence. Usually, only medical professionals actively involved in surgical services are keenly aware of nurse anesthesia activities. |
