What Do You Miss About Bedside Nursing?

Published

Do you miss the continuous interaction with the patient? How much interaction is involved with the patient while performing anesthesia? I love the autonomy that being a CRNA will provide, but would like some follow-up with the patients if possible. Do you all do this? Thanks in advance!:)

That's what I will miss. Being short staffed, being pressured to take more patients. Not having a freaking IV pump that works. (always 1 channel broken). Getting kicked, spit at, cussed at, etc. And those lovely code browns! Let me think a little bit....i'll really miss all that BS!

Here's to higher education!:balloons:

I am still praying for you guys left at the bedside! You're not forgotten.

YOU ARE SOOOO RIGHT! My reason to become a CRNA is to move as far from bedside nursing as possible! :Melody:

Thank you to everyone who posted- I am considering becoming a CRNA. However, my main concern was that I would miss out on patient contact. Now I see that this is not true at all :) Thanks again!

I second that emotion!:)
