Re: Will There Be Too Many CRNA's?
No, I don't think so. Those programs want the MOOLAH...however, will there be good CRNAs?
THAT'S the question. I think many anesthesia groups will become pickier. I know the group I work around are discerning between those who've got excellent clinical background (10 plus years in an ICU, TRAUMA) versus those who do the minimal.
The ones who have better experience are getting hired and they are awesome, even as a new CRNA. The ones with minimal ICU experience are very insecure and MISS A LOT. Our anesthesiologists somewhat "babysit" those CRNAs..i.e. keep them close by, visit the OR/room alot, etc.,
