The dust has settled, you’ve made it through school, you’ve nailed the dream job… so NOW WHAT? What does a day in the life of a CRNA really look like? While it can feel so far away, it’s vitally important that you get familiar with how you’ll be spending your days.

It’s a career that takes heart, passion, and grit. Shadowing (as early as possible) and gathering information from current CRNAs and SRNAs about the profession is crucial to gauge whether or not the CRNA path is for you.

In today’s episode, we dig into:

  • The different types of schedules that are available to you (and how to choose what works best for you when looking for a position)
  • An overview of getting your day started
  • Tips for preparing for your cases ahead of time
  • An in-depth look at the induction of anesthesia, navigating the maintenance phase of surgeries, and crafting a smooth emergence for your patients
  • The importance of being a proactive member of your team by communicating effectively and assisting others

Happy shadowing, future CRNA!
