Hello, I am an RT that will be returning back to school to finish up my BSN. I have always loved the idea of administering anesthetic's as a CRNA. I think it is a very cool and extremely rewarding career! Do you feel alone in the O.R.? Granted, you have a job to do. As a therapist, I have collegues that i can ask questions of and/or express my feelings about a certain situation. My fear is that since everyone in the O.R. is a physician except for the O.R. Nurse and yourselves, can you express to anyone about the case you just finished up? Obviously, if you work with a team of CRNA's that will work out, but what if your one of a handful of CRNA's in a group? I sometimes think, (please don't be offended) that as a CRNA everyone will be cold to me. I know as an RT, the very few times that I have stayed in the O.R. the personalities were extremely cold. I always felt as if I was in everyones way. I am just worried. If I don't like where I work, I cannot appreciate the job. To me enviroment plays a large role in my happiness.
