Nurse anesthetist is a growing specialty

gongyuanhou11

It's a nursing specialty that nurses are proud to say dates back to the battlefields of the Civil War. As the first professional group to administer anesthesia services in the United States, nurse anesthetists are considered the first clinical nursing specialty, according to the American Association of Nurse Anesthetists Web site.
Today, more than 30,0000 certified registered nurse anesthetists, a certification that began in 1956, work on teams with medical doctors at hospitals across the country providing anesthesia services to 27 million patients each year, according an AANA report in 2005. Dr. Thomas Bladek, chairman of the department of anesthesiology at St. Vincent's Medical Center in Bridgeport, said the hospital employs 18 full-time CRNAs and 12 full-time board certified anesthesiologists.
"Certified registered nurse anesthetists have been around for quite some time," said Bladek, recalling how St. Vincent's had three CRNAs when he joined the hospital in the 1960s. "Virtually every hospital has them in operating rooms, some have more than others.
"The more rural the hospital, the more CRNAs are employed," he said.
CRNAs are usually under the direct supervision of medical doctors, he said, although in some areas they are in independent practices.
At St. Vincent's, both CRNAs and medical doctors are in the operating rooms administrating anesthesia, except for open heart surgeries and major surgical cases that require intense monitoring, when only MDs are allowed, Bladek said
"This practice is different in other hospitals," he said.
Across town at Bridgeport Hospital, CRNAs are allowed in high-risk surgeries, including heart surgeries, but always with a medical doctor, said Nancy Moriber, director for the Bridgeport Hospital and Fairfield University certified registered nurse anesthetist program, one of three in the state. "In most hospitals, nurse anesthetists work in a team approach. Every patient has a minimum of two anesthesia providers. That has always been my choice of practice," said Moriber.
The road to becoming a CRNA is a long and intense one. It may be a job not everyone is familiar with and with the current nursing shortage that only promises to get worse, it's a growing specialty that is attracting a growing number of both men and women. "It's a 29-month program and the candidates [for the program] must be registered nurses with a bachelor of science in nursing and a minimum of one year of critical care experience," said Moriber, noting that candidates must have a GPA higher than 3.0. There are 104 CRNA programs nationally, she said, graduating more than 2,000 students each year, and across the board, these programs have to turn people way. Each Bridgeport Hospital/Fairfield University class takes 12 students per year and is always full, said Moriber, 42, who received her CRNA from Columbia University in New York in 1990 when she was 24, a relatively young age. Most students in the program are between 27 and 35 or in their late 40s or 50s, she said. Graduates receive a master's degree in nursing in addition to the certification. It is also one nursing specialty that attracts a high number of men — about 50 percent of CRNAs are men, she said. In general, only 4 percent of nurses are male.
The pay is also a draw, said Moriber. While a new registered nurse may expect $60,000 in salary, a CRNA can make between $100,000 and $150,000, she said. But, it is still less than what an anesthesiologist commands, which is between $250,000 and $500,000 a year, she said. Bridgeport Hospital employs 34 CRNAs. With one medical doctor supervising two to four CRNAs, this team approach can help lower medical bills, Moriber said.
"Nurses produce safe care at a reduced cost," she said.
For Moriber, the high-pressure job was always appealing. "I thrive on stress," she said. "I like the patient contact, the one-on-one; you have control of the patient. I look at it as caring for the patient while someone else is doing the curing."
Starting with the pre-op interview to waking the patient in recovery, CRNAs work on all types of cases, including orthopedics, neurosurgery, vascular surgery, ob/gyn cases and general surgery, providing epidural and spinal anesthesia when needed, said Donna Nunno, a CRNA at St. Vincent's.
A nurse for 17 years before going back to school for her CRNA, Nunno, 39, graduated from the CRNA program at the Hospital of St. Raphael's in New Haven in 2006, earning a master's degree in biological science/anesthesia. The Milford resident said she became interested in the specialty while working as a nurse in St. Vincent's intensive care unit. The training she got was similar to a doctor's residency, she said.
"It's very intense. We do on-call and work many hours," she explained. "It's a great clinical experience at St. Raphael's. The first year was just academics to get my master's then 17 months of clinical training and testing for boards."
There are oral comprehensive boards and national boards to take to become licensed, she said.
On the job, she works a rotating schedule with three, 12-hour shifts a week, she said.
"We always have supervision, from beginning to end," she said. [The doctors] will come in frequently to check on how things are going and offer advice as needed. We have a very close working relationship."
Nunno agrees it's a growing profession and finds that patients are very open to it.
"There are some people who don't know what an anesthetist is, but I never met anyone who felt uncomfortable [with me]," she said. "They know we work with the doctors."

The road to becoming a CRNA is a long and intense one. It may be a job not everyone is familiar with and with the current nursing shortage that only promises to get worse, it's a growing specialty that is attracting a growing number of both men and women.

成为一个注册的护理麻醉师是要经过很长的时间和艰辛的路。这个工作可能不是每个人都熟悉的，目前护士的短缺的情况可能使得情况更糟，这个专业在不断的发展，并且不断吸引了更多的男人和女人（不同性别的人）。“这个认证程序需要29个月时间，而且候选人必须是拥有护理本科学位的注册护士，而且最少一年的重症监护经验”Moriber说道，并指明候选人的GPA必须高于3.0分。 她说在全国有104个这样的认证过程（或者程序:Program），每年有超过2000名学生毕业，而程序委员会会刷掉一些人。

Each Bridgeport Hospital/Fairfield University class takes 12 students per year and is always full, said Moriber, 42, who received her CRNA from Columbia University in New York in 1990 when she was 24, a relatively young age.

每年每个Fairfield大学的班级招收12名学生，42随的Moriber说道。1990年当她24岁的时候她从纽约哥伦比亚大学获得了CRNA（注册护理麻醉师），是相当年轻的。在这个认证程序中，很多学生是在27到35岁之间，大多是40后或者50后。毕业的学士除了获得认证外还可以获得护理硕士学位。这也是个吸引相当多男性的护理专业---大约50%的CRNA是男性。通常情况下，4%的护士是女性。

收入也是也因素，Moriber说。一个新注册的护士的收入大概是60000美元，一个CRNA的收入可达到100000到15000美元之间，她说道。但是，比起麻醉师的250000到500000美元的年收入还是少。Bridgeport医院雇佣了34个CRNA，一个医疗医生管理2到4个CRNA，这样的一个团队规模可以减低医疗费用（成本）。
“护士能够在降低成本的情况下提供安全的照护”，她说道

对Moriber来说这种高压力工作曾经也是一直很吸引人的。“我在压力下成长”她说。“我喜欢和患者一对一的沟通；你能管控患者。我把这些看作是对患者的照护，而当其他人同时也在治愈患者”
Starting with the pre-op interview to waking the patient in recovery, CRNAs work on all types of cases, including orthopedics, neurosurgery, vascular surgery, ob/gyn cases and general surgery, providing epidural and spinal anesthesia when needed, said Donna Nunno, a CRNA at St. Vincent's.
从术前与患者的会谈到患者最后康复，CRNA处理各种状况，包括外科整形, 神经外科,血管手术，妇科安定普外，当需要的时候提供硬膜外和脊髓麻醉。St. Vincent's的CRNA Donna Nunno提到这些。
A nurse for 17 years before going back to school for her CRNA, Nunno, 39, graduated from the CRNA program at the Hospital of St. Raphael's in New Haven in 2006, earning a master's degree in biological science/anesthesia.

Nunno 39岁，2006毕业于新天堂St. Raphal's的CRNA项目组，在回到学院攻读CRNA之前已经做了17护士，最终获得生物可续/麻醉的硕士学位。Milford说她在St.Vicent ICU工作的时候开始对这个专业产生了兴趣。她以往所得到的培训类似于住院医师培训。（此段翻译有些问题。希望各位指出）

“It's very intense. We do on-call and work many hours," she explained. "It's a great clinical experience at St. Raphael's. The first year was just academics to get my master's then 17 months of clinical training and testing for boards."
“很好很强大。我们随时待命并且要工作数小时”她解释到“在St. Raphael有非常棒的临床实践。第一年只是纯理论的学习以获取硕士学位，然后是17个月的临床培训和测试”
There are oral comprehensive boards and national boards to take to become licensed, she said.
她说要通过口头综合测试和全国委员会的测试才能获得认证。
On the job, she works a rotating schedule with three, 12-hour shifts a week, she said.
"We always have supervision, from beginning to end," she said. [The doctors] will come in frequently to check on how things are going and offer advice as needed. We have a very close working relationship."
在这个工作上她每周轮班3次，每次12小时。
“从头到尾我们一直在监管之下”她说，医生会经常过来检查工作状况并在需要的时候提出建议。我们有着非常紧密的工作关系。（或者：我们紧密的工作在一起）
Nunno agrees it's a growing profession and finds that patients are very open to it.
"There are some people who don't know what an anesthetist is, but I never met anyone who felt uncomfortable [with me]," she said. "They know we work with the doctors."
Nunno同意这个专业一直在进步并且发现患者对此非常理解。
“有些人不知道麻醉师是干什么的，但我从来没有碰见谁不喜欢我”她说道“他们知道我们和医生一起工作”
