2. Nurse Anesthetist Job Description: Administers anesthesia prior to surgery or delivery; monitors levels of anesthesia during the procedure and adjusts accordingly.
FYI- most RN make close to that amount per hour as we work 12h shift and get time and a half after 8. Additionally, most hospitals are short staffed so we get time and half to double for overtime. We are professional and the eyes and ears of the patient care arena.
You failed to mention Anesthesiology Physician Assistants. I am a retired "PA" and find it strange that PA's graduate from medical schools, not nursing schools, and are left out of this commentary on healthcare delivery. PA's are taught by the same faculties as physicians in schools of medicine; not technical schools. Please re-do your homework and send me an explanation. Thanks. Marshall Miller, PA-C Retired.
