SRNA clinical tactics


Here's a question..... when an SRNA brings in food for the OR is it thoughtful appreciation or shameless brown-nosing?
Any opinions?

If you spend a lot of time with the OR crew and know them fairly well, than it's no different than bringing treats to work. If is was the SRNA's first day, and he didn't know anyone , then it's a total suckup move.

Who cares. Brown nosing or not the food will be appreciated.

Being a great employee and clinician earns you respect.

Being a great employee, a great clinician and playing the game and increasing your likeability can really get you places many times. Dont hate the player hate the game ya heard me.

This thread saddens me. In my day the CRNAs brought food in for the students. I remember many a call night when the team ordered out and refused my offer to pay. Everyone knew students were on limited income and there was a feeling that helping them was a professional courtesy.

What a shame things have reversed. My current clinical site doesn't have students. But you can bet that if I get a chance in the future, I'll do what I can to reverse this trend and restore the "good old days". Maybe some of you soon-to-be CRNAs will consider doing the same.

Yesterday was my last day of cardiac.... and the surgeon said "oh yeah, on your last day you are supposed to treat everyone to lunch." I told him that would be no problem if he wanted to feed my family this week.

In fact, not too long ago I had a CRNA tell me that I should replace a jar of peanut butter because I helped myself to some on some crackers from a "community" jar in the lounge. (Earlier, a different CRNA had told me to help myself) Geez....

Thank you loisane for your comments. I will try to remember that when I am practicing. In fact, I look forward to the day I can afford to treat a hungry student. Meanwhile, the staff will just have to buy their own lunches!

now- that kind of stuff has never - never happened to me and i feel is quite inappropriate... i must say that as a student - everyone knew we were poor and would buy us lunches frequently - telling us to remember to do the same for our students down the road.
