Asked to provide anesthesia for a case you weren't comfortable with??

[nurseflip26, CRNA]

I'm certainly not trying to stir any debate on morality of certain procedures on not so please don't turn this post into that. I am looking for responses from currents SRNAs or CRNA that graduated recently. I am planning to start CRNA school soon and am wondering if any of you have been asked to perform an anesthetic for a procedure that you REALLY did have a moral objection to. If so what happened? I taking about a deeply held belief not just "I don't feel like doing Dr. X's anesthetic so I suddenly morally object to hip sugeries, etc."

Just to speak plainly, I would not be comfortable doing anesthesia for a procedure that actively ends life (you can put two and two together). Again I'm not seeking to stir the water just asking what happens in a situation like this. I realize that once I graduate, I can simply use discretion at what facilities I work at and avoid the situation altogether. However during school I don't have that freedom nearly as much.

A student should have no expectations that moral considerations will be considered. You are there to learn. Everything. You also should have no expectations that doing one of those procedures is avoidable. It might just not be avoidable. As horrible as one may or may feel about those cases, if you are on call you would be expected to do your duty. By all means work at places where you just won't have to decide, if it is the important to you. But to choose not to do a legal and indicated case on moral grounds can and will get you terminated
