Curious BSN student

Published

Hello everyone, I have a question and a request. I go to a Nursing school which also happens to be a teaching hospital so I have opportunities to shadow CRNA but everytime I email the person in-charge to set up a shadow appointment, they never get back to me again. Should i be persistant and keep emailing them back? I don't want to come across as bothersome.

Secondly, now that my semester has come to and end, I can relax, Can someone provide me with lecture notes/powerpoints from your CRNA program to feed my curiosity?

Thanks!

Hi, I would continue to contact them and just let them know that you are being persistent because it's really something you are interested in. Can you call them so you can speak with them personally? Is the person in charge of the shadowing an actual CRNA? If not, are you in a unit at the hospital where you see anesthesia personnel? I would try to ask some of them too. Usually we are pretty helpful when people show interest.

As far as lecture notes....there are several different subjects you go over in anesthesia school, so not sure what you would be looking for as far as notes to look at. Basics of Anesthesia (your first class in anesthesia school), cardiac anesthesia, respiratory, OB, pediatrics, neuro, physics, chemistry, pharmacology, regional anesthesia (epidurals, spinals, caudals, nerve blocks).....and many more.
