What would be a routine day for a CRNA? What do they do if they dont administer Anes.? Are they just a plain nurse when they are not helping in a surgery?

Are you a nurse? This seems like a joke but maybe you are serious. SRNA's don't perform as a bedside nurse. You always have cases to perform during your clinical days. Did you ever go to clinicals and not have a patient when you were becoming an RN? I wouldn't think so. When you are an SRNA you are no longer a floor nurse/pacu/icu or whatever during your classes and clinicals. Anyway, I hope that helps.

I just finished my pre reqs at a comminunity college and waiting for my accetance letter to there nursing program. so i dont really know to much about the medical feild, but you guys have some good post around here.

iy0ga, each hospital will be different depending on the number of CRNAs on staff, but in my facility, if my cases are done, I will either be a free person to help out with breaks, emergency cases, etc., or relieve another CRNA who is next on the list to go home. In the afternoon, when alot of CRNAs are finishing their rooms, we start to send people home, making sure there are a couple of free people in case of emergency. CRNAs do not function as "plain nurses" when we are not in surgery. Hope this helps, Lynne

Thanks that was right on the ball.
