@ciaoginabella – Thank you very much. I will check with them.
I’m about to get my Associate Degree in a couple of months.
My problem will be to get a job. I am trying to get at least a job as a technician until I take my board, to get some experience. It looks that nobody is hiring right now…
@monjemb Barry University and FIU have these programs
Where do I go for such a degree in Miami FL?
im going to be a CRNA one day- i can’t wait!
@mightyoak11111 That is wrong about the anesthesia assistants. A medical background is not requried. A bachelor’s degree in science is all that is needed such as Biology. So one can enter AA school without any medical traning.
@Sharlene945 – To become a Registered Nurse you need to earn a 4 year Bachelor’s degree. To become a doctor you’d need to attend a medical school for about 4 years, plus residency (at least a couple of years). Most medical schools require a bachelor’s degree for entry. I’d say both are pretty hard.
I’m getting my Bachelor of Science in Nursing to be eligible to enter a medical school. I’m masochistic like that.
@Sharlene945 its not easy to become a registered nurse:|
It was a great relief that nurses not only bound to the hospital jobs anymore. I’ve been discussing a lot more about nurses career in my site (nursingcareerdotherobodotcom)
Is it easier to become a Doctor or Nurse?
@aburd33 i am a junior in high school who also lives in kansas, im a guy nd know you guys make major bank. is their any cons i should know about and do you have any suggestions if i am going to go to ku as well? thanks
Been a CRNA and an independent practioner in KS for 8 years. KU has a great CRNA program. Ive never relied on a MD or DO to help me in a bleeding or truama situation. Get real people.. Id rather have a CRNA give my anesthesia than a preop DOC anyday.
For the person who was wondering if he is pronouncing “anesthetist” and “anesthesiologist” correctly – No, he is not! Don’t know why so many people are seem to be mispronouncing these & related words lately, but the “th” in both words is correctly pronounced like the “th” in the word “thing” – not like the “t” in “nest”! Same thing with the word “esthetic” – it is not to be pronounced as “estetic”.
In the US, all 3 providers (anesthesiologists, nurse anesthetists, and anesthesia assistants) are trained to give safe anesthesia. However, there are significant differences in the training. Anesthesiologists are physicians/medical doctors with specialized training in anesthesia. Nurse anesthetists are nurses with specialized training in anesthesia. Anesthesia assistants are not nurses but have a medical background and are trained by anesthesiologists in the administration of anesthesia.
Very concise and informational. Thanks for posting! Too bad I couldn’t watch the video for about 1/2 of the time because a Google ad was playing right over the top of it.
