- Plunging into the unknown is always a little scary. Let's talk about what it's like to go from an ICU nurse to suddenly learning anesthesiology and a whole new scope of practice. Is it hard, does it take a while to feel comfortable in the new role?

I'm in my last 2 semesters of nursing school, and I still keep coming back to your videos and debating what I want to do with my future in nursing. I know I want to work in the ICU (hopefully a few different ICU settings) but I don't know what kind of advanced practice nurse I want to be, and I won't know until I get experience in the field. Thank you for your content and transparency on the journey to and career of a CRNA. It's truly invaluable, and I'm so grateful that there are CRNAs like you taking care of people. 🙌
Thanks Cryo. You've got time to decide what you want out there.
Not going to lie, all of the scary responsibilities you listed at the beginning of the video only made me more excited to pursue becoming a CRNA.
This video couldn’t have been released at a better time! I’m a new grad icu nurse with the dream of becoming a CRNA down the road. I feel that incompetence every day at work but with every passing day I do feel more confident and my clinical judgment is being refined and sharpened. I have been following your videos ever since I started nursing school. You are an encouragement and I look up to you.
Thanks Luke!
Did you get in the program??
This is probably the best video to help decide and gauge whether or not CRNA school is a good match for someone.
Been a PACU recovery room nurse for 20 years. I could never stand the stress of putting a patient to sleep and then waking him up. I just go cold at the thought of a patient not waking up because it’s my fault. I have learned also that the most important person in the operating room is not the surgeon, it is your anesthesiologist…. he or she is the one who’s going to bring you back, although the surgeon seems to get all the glory.
Got to love PACU nurses!
I can't. Not for me. High respect for everyone on this path
Sometimes just knowing what isn't the right path for you helps reveal the best one for you.
@@BoltCRNA For me these paths like CRNA, Physician, even just a normal nurse, have to come straight from the heart. At least in an ideal world. You have to feel it in your bones that you want this. I have no idea how someone could go on in life just viewing it as, "Just my job someones gotta do it, great pay and benefits." The reality is that is true and there are likely lots of people in the field for those reasons. But for me that sounds miserable. It's just not in my heart.
I agree. you absolutely have to do that mental shift from RN to CRNA. you have too much responsibility on your plate to worry about regular nursing. it’s vital to focus on the anesthesia ….it’s so fraught with peril things could go wrong at every damn turn.
If the patient fails to wake up then you’ve essentially killed that patient. I could never live with that so much kudos and luck to you
Thanks for a real perspective on the pressures associated with CRNA. I think so many people focus on title they forget the immense responsibility that comes with. I’m a ER nurse, I’ve been a nurse 11 years . I’ve been contemplating CRNA because of the complexity of the job, it seems very interesting. I feel like like NP would become redundant and dull after a while.
I appreciate your insights to the anesthesia world. I just stumbled across this video but it's really nice to see what it's actually like as a CRNA. I am working on my MSN and my whole goal is to become an ICU nurse and ultimately a CRNA.
Good day Dr. Bolt! I took some time recently to watch a couple other CRNA channels, and to quite honest, they can't put a patch on your rear end. You are the MAN, keep up the good work, your channel is very well thought out and presented well...
Thank you kindly
Lmaoooo he’s not a doctor
He’s a ducking nurse
Nurse anesthesia resident isn’t a thing lol
He’s literally still the same thing
A nurse.
This guy is a clown 🤡
Hey guy….
CRNA school = Nurse school
And you aren’t the airway expert
You are the assistant to make workflow better
The physician is the expert
@@cs7623well unfortunately he is. Doctoral is a PhD degree. Lol.
@@yukisong1259 get butt hurt some more
Everyone knows in a health care setting, MD is the doctor.
I can get my PhD in basket weaving you think I should go to the nearest hospital and start making people address me as doctor?
Nah. The only people I call doctor is MD
He’s défini not a doctor and he’s very misleading for portraying himself in this manner on RUclips.
Shadowed a CRNA named Clint this week for the day and loved it!
very interesting to have a mind set where you have to change what you used to learn but also need to learn what you already know, looks like I need to step up myself and realized this is what I wanna do and this is what to be expected since everyone is so used to working with others there's fairly any independent work.
I've been a nurse for about 7 years now. My ASN GPA is horrible but I did graduate Summa Cum Laude with my BSN. I have experience in the ED and ICU. I've been traveling as an ICU RN for over 2 years now. I've worked in FL, TX, CA, and now I'm in NY. I'm wondering if I should take the CCRN exam or if I might as well go ahead and apply to see if I can get an interview. Any advice?
I think other graduate nursing programs encourage the mindset of being the responsible provider. Some people just like to consult others, but an ARNP is taught they are the responsible provider, just like a physician.
Stress?!? Stress is the madness you go through just to get accepted into a CRNA program!!!!
What is the stats on crna's getting cancer from working in and around radiation all the time?
Do you know if many crna programs would consider critical care transport nursing “icu experience”? I do everything that is done in a hospital icu, and then some (manage ventilators, US IV trained, Multiple titratable drugs, LVAD/impella/iabp/ecmo, high risk OB, and some occasional peds)- only difference is I do it in the back of the ambulance. I am also RSI certified and get quarterly airway training, cadaver labs, and OR intubation time.
@@kalebgriffin1993 It would be up to the program but if you have no ICU experience it’s most likely a no.
@@BoltCRNA I also have ER and icu background. Just currently doing critical care transport
This is a great video very informative
Just started my job as a new grad in HVICU and am really enjoying it so far, so I was curious as to how things would change during the ICU to SRNA transition. Thanks for making this video!
Your content is amazing, thanks so much for all your efforts. I've just recently found your channel and I haven't as yet seen my question answered so here it is. In your experience, and in your conversations with others like you, how do CRNA schools look at travel ICU nursing as your required "1-2 years" of experience. All other things being equal, is the travel ICU pathway considered inferior in any way to a more traditional staff position at the same hospital for 1-2 years?
You'll need a couple years of staff ICU experience before you go travel ICU so that usually covers both sides for you, travel and staff experience.
Hy, I’m a fisrt year nurse in Belgium, it’s too stressfull! There’s a lot to study, thnks for the video! I hope I’ll graduate but I doubt abt my self😭
Great video Dr. Bolt, I tried to go to college to be a Anesthesiologist, after I graduated high school in 2008, but It was gonna be too hard for me because of my cerebral palsy! I learned a lot about Anesthesiologist! I’m 31
is being CRNA sustainable? like still being able to take care of your family, working out, and other stuff.
Hey Bolt, what textbooks or classes would you recommend to help prepare for crna school?
Thanks man.
Nagelhout
@@Srna2024 thanks!
Watchful Care is the only book I recommend reading before the program starts.
@@BoltCRNA taking notes
Do you or generally all crna set Central line or nerve block?
Yes, it’s included in our training and part of our skill set.
Is CAA training very different from CRNA training 🤷🏽♀️
I would say I look to RT’s to get difficult air ways first
CRNAs don’t complete “residency” why misrepresent the profession?
My comment still isn't showing up, maybe it's because I posted a link. But I've been reading up on it, and apparently some do a residency.
Hi, are you a nurse working in Australia?
Good stuff man!👌🔥
Glad you enjoyed!
Hi Dr. Bolt, are you able to disclose your CRNA school that you attended? I’m looking for CRNA programs to apply to that will prepare me well to succeed in the career and licensing exam. So far I have Texas Wesleyan University of my radar because of all the clinical locations across the country.
Yes, absolutely. Union University
He isn’t a doctor
CRNA resident isn’t a thing
Understand why your confused cause this guy is a clown but he’s a nurse not a doctor
Shame on him for not correcting
@@cs7623 DNP is a doctorate degree, you’re the clown buddy 😂
@@adarshsidhu529 a doctorate degree is not the same as calling yourself a doctor in a hospital setting. So yes, calling yourself “Dr. Last Name” when you don’t have an MD/DO is disingenuous at best.
It reminds me of when Ross from Friends would call himself “Dr. Geller” in the hospital. Rachael has to tell him to stop because “it means something here.”
Same principle.
ICU Propofol
The autonomy and overall responsibility seems very similar to that of a critical care medic. This gives me hope.
Yes I feel identified I was a medic before an ICU as a medic I was a “provider” even though we were following protocols is way different than being a nurse following orders there is a lot of autonomy as a Paramedic
