A day in the life as an Anesthesiologist Assistant - My 24 Hour Shift
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ธ.ค. 2020
- Hey everyone! Since I promised to release a youtube video when I reached 1000 followers on my instagram... here it is! I had a 24 hour shift back in October and filmed some things through out the day and night. I'm not allowed to record much of whats happening in the operating room, especially if there's a patient present. But you do get a glimpse of some typical things I do are (anesthesia set up) and how a day could be like as an anesthesiologist assistant. NOTE: not all days are like this - this is a weekend which is why there aren't many people around.
For those of you who don't know me, I am a certified anesthesiologist assistant and I have been working for about 3 years. My goal is to spread the word about this profession to aspiring students in the medical field - comment down below and follow me on instagram if you have any questions!
To my current followers, thanks so much for your support!

Great video Sally!! Awesome content! Thanks for the inspiration ! 💕
Amazing content ❤🔥 keep killin it you're an inspiration!
Best thing ever. Gives an insight into day to day work of AA. Hope to see more videos like these.
Awesome video. Definitely cool to see the difference in technology between Emory’s OR and the rural hospital’s OR I shadowed at.
I really appreciate what you do 😊
Awesome video! I definitely want to look more into the CAA profession! It looks like its right up my ally!
I am so glad I came across your page! I’m about to graduate respiratory therapy school and have such an interest in anesthesia (eventually of course)
Love your content and I just followed you on insta ✨
Thanks for sharing love the videos you have posted!
Great vid! Can’t wait to see more
God bless you all 2019 had a pneumothorax thorax 2020 I had asophageal cancer surgery watching your shift a give you and your colleges alot of respect I have to get upper GI every 6 months almost 3 years in remission ❤ thank you so much for sharing and God bless 🙏
This is eye opening I love it
Interesting. Learn something new everyday. Never knew there were Anesthesiologist Assistants. Awesome
Thank you so much for sharing!! Also, side note … your skin is GLOWINGGG. DROP THAT SKIN CARE ROUTINE!!
Thank you for sharing this. I'm looking into this career. Great video and great work you're doing!

I enjoyed watching this so much ! You are a gem !
Thank you so much!
Can I like this a million times? 🥺🥺. I've been so indecisive of my career path after my undergraduate studies, but I think my mind is made up now! Thank you so much ❤️
You got this!
Love this video!
Awesome video! Need more CAA content creators. I’m in my second year currently on rotations in Georgia. My girlfriend is looking into AA school and this was a great resource to show her some aspects of what we do since shadowing is so difficult now during COVID. Keep up the great work!!
I'm looking at schools in georgia right now! Did you go to Emory or South? I'd love to hear what your experience was like!
thanks for posting these must be really hard with your schedule. graduating as a nurse in a few weeks, hope to get into anesthesia
Hello, are you a nurse or an anesthesiologist's assistant?
Great great content, we need more of these to inspire more students into different fields of medicine.
Thanks so much dear ❤️
Thanks a ton

This is AWESOME! Holy shit. Literally perfect.
Just started looking into this profession (anesthesiologist assistant) . I have been interested in the health field my entire life. Only interested in several fields. Though now I'm much older than probably most. I'm very interested in the this line of work. Always have been. Sometimes some of us will put our needs, wants, dreams well behind others. This is what got me to my older age and nothing to say for it for myself. Though I have little one in raising now. It's also time I start taking time to listen to my own desires. This happens to be one of them. Thank you for sharing this video. Didn't know if they allowed assistance to intubate patients or not.
I’m proud of you
My busiest 24hr shift so far in training was: whipples procedure, appendectomy, C-section, tracheostomy, 2 more dont remember exactly but one was spinal anesthesia and another was a GA case. 😊
All this on a public holiday. 😅
Thank you so much for making this video! I’m a sophomore in high school still trying to figure out what I want to do... an AA seems pretty cool
th-cam.com/video/qQTmHGGI_Ug/w-d-xo.html
Same!
you should go for it!!
Same
That’s awesome that you go to icu transports. My ICU it’s just the nurse and the RT
Awesome video!
It would be cool to see something about those vent circuits you use at Emory.
Loved the vlogggg, btw your skin is glowinggggg🥰
Thank you!!!! All my skincare products finally starting to work 😂
@@Anesthesiasal ❤️❤️❤️😂welcome hun
Thank you this was very informative your beautiful and talented and I wish you success
As soon as you said the Q-word I knew you'd be in for a wild night
PLEASE DO MORE OF THESE!!
th-cam.com/video/qQTmHGGI_Ug/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for making this!! It's so helpful to see content on the internet about CAA! Keep going!
Wow, this was so cool! Good to see the different responsibilities you have. Reminds me of being the only RT with the ER pager at night 😂.
Been that RT!
Thanks for the video... I am doing Bs anesthesia technology ... fresh student ...
Great video!! Would you mind making a video describing the differences between your job and CRNA’s?
I am sure she will do a video on this! But, mainly the differences are schooling, pay, and autonomy. As far as the workday goes, they are very similar. I guess if you are wanting to do anesthesia and trying to decide between the two think about what you want to do in undergrad and if autonomy is something that you care about. I am currently in a BSN-RN program and am going to go to CRNA school. If you do not want to go to nursing school, AA Is the way to go. CRNA school requires a BSN and RN licensure as well as two years of RN ICU experience, some schools require less, depends on location/school. I believe that AAs require a science-related Bachelors's and some shadow experience, but I do not think that AA programs require work experience. Again, I am more familiar with the CRNA side of things, but I hope this helps a little bit.
@@rebeccatemple2550 hi im a BSN-RN, would it be backwards if i aim to become an AA instead of a CRNA ? Is being an AA generally easier than a CRNA?
@@mikmiklicayan4483 Hi, hoping I can provide a good answer since I have a BSN and previous background in the sciences. For AA programs they generally prefer science pre-req courses that a pre-med would normally take like Gen. Physics, bio, gen Chem, orgo- Chem, human anatomy, and biochem along with a Bachelor’s degree of any kind. Most of those classes are normally not part of the RN curriculum, so it may be more difficult when it comes to the prework to apply.
I have also shadowed both AAs and CRNAs and the jobs are basically the same. However there is MUCH greater independence on the CRNA side and they can practice in all 50 states as well as being able to practice without supervision in certain opt-out states. However, CRNA programs will all require 36+ months of school by 2025 while AA only requires around 25-27 months. You could definitely switch to AA with a BSN, just be prepared to take higher level science courses.
Hi Sally! Im also in Atlanta and am looking into applying to Emory's AA program, but am unsure if my resume is strong enough. Your videos have been so helpful and I hope you continue to post! :)
Hey!!! Dm me on Instagram. I can see if you need to boost a certain area. I will try to keep making videos!!
Also, could you make a video for prospective AA students? (going in depth about your undergrad education, gpa, MCAT, GRE, shadowing, interviews, etc.) Thank you!!
This was super helpful!! I’m a sophomore in undergrad for a bachelors in health science ( Pre PA) but this interests me as well! I was looking at programs and the prerequisites are the ones i’m already taking :)
Good luck!!!! 👏
woah this is literally me right now! may i ask which pathway you decided to pursue?
@@nailsbyLPme too 😊❤
I subscribed! :3 I'm looking to be a CAA in North Carolina! Thank you for making this video
Hello, did you become an anesthesiologist's assistant or not?❤😊
I'm just starting my perioperative role soon as a grad. When the time comes and with every separate procedure on a different patient eg putting in new iv/breathing lines, do you have to change scrubs for cross contamination/hygiene reasons or do you just wear the same scrubs if they don't get dirty? Great video!
Good luck 👍🏼
The song in the beginning is save me of bts💜
I came here coz I will be a doctor in the future. Btw your video is nice and this inspired me to become an anesthesiologist. Thanks!
💜💜💜
Love the intro song 💜
💜💜💜💜💜
Amazing
Please do more vlogs about being an anesthesiologist, love to watch them on my free time
Shes not an anesthesiologist, shes an anesthesiologist assistant which is a PA thats specially trained to work under an anesthesiologist to maintain anesthesia. Just fyi.
@@josphellihsilak4588 I forgot to include that after the word "anesthesiologist," I'm sorry :>
Thank you for pointing out my error. Have a wonderful day.
I agree with you
Ok I was just scrolling and I was like wow her teeth 😍😍😍
I kinda freaked out at the intro song 😅 I saved this in my watch later but didn't know lol but am kinda interested in the profession! Hopefully I can get into the respiratory therapy program in BC, Canada, get some experience then continue into AA :)
SAME!!!
So cool y’all have an airway alert at your facility. I’m an icu nurse and our NPs intubate while we push the drugs.
I have some questions, mind answering?
i’m currently a SAA, so happy to finally see a CAA on youtube! for a while there i thought we were banned from making YT videos 😂
Yeah I have to be really careful about what I record!
i bet, always a microscope on what we do. the content you provide is enough so thank you! we really need more awareness about this profession.
btw do you work a 24 hr weekly or is it more a monthly thing?
@@brittanyedwards8862 My goal is to do it weekly but right now there are 4 people on rotation so about once a month.
What’s an SAA?
15:00 the same feeling that everyone gets when their 24 hour shift is over.
I need to know ur skincare routine damn clear myann
Omg I have BEEN there... I worked as an anesthesia assistant during school and the 24 hour shifts were brutal! Cleaning and wiping down all the wires and EKG leads when you've been on your feet for 20 hours at 4 in the morning was the worst
24 hrs daily?
@@freepalestinanow 24 hrs daily definitely couldn’t be done by any human
You're thinking of anesthesia tech, she's an anesthesiologist assistant. Those are completely different jobs
Are you an anesthesiologist assistant?
How much over time do you take over the regular 40 hours a week work schedule?
By the way, love your content.
finally l found 💔 someone who study anas and doing some videos 💗💗💗
العربية واضحة من تعليقها😂❤
The bts in the beginning 💜
😭 I was hoping someone would notice
I know this may sound dumb, but is. CAA different or the same as a CRNA? Just curious? Love the video!
Wow! you are basically Superwoman in real world!!
Fishburn deck! This video made me miss Emory lol
Thank you so much for this! I’m a prospective AA student, is it common to have 24 hour shifts? Or is that a decision you made?
I decided to do it! Most common shifts are 8, 10 and 12 hours.
Is Emory allowing any shadowing opportunities right now?
I wish they had anesthesiology assistant in every state
Same!!! Ugh
@@Anesthesiasal do they have it in florida?
@@viviana8914 yes they do!
@@viviana8914
States and districts where CAA can practice:
Alabama
Colorado
District of Columbia
Florida
Georgia
Guam
Indiana
Kentucky
Missouri
New Mexico
North Carolina
Ohio
Oklahoma
South Carolina
Vermont
Wisconsin
States where AAs practice through physician delegation:
Michigan
Texas
Sayed I Kentucky is an asterisk tho. You not only need to have a PA degree along with your CAA degree, but it has to be a 4 year PA degree.... 6-6.5 years of schooling post undergrad just to practice in Kentucky. And in Michigan, CAA’s have a presence in traverse city and grand rapids, but not much else.
The intro☺️
Btw I really liked your video, thank you so much for sharing this!! Currently studying anesthesia and I’m just fascinated by how many different jobs this field has, I feel like I falling in love with medicine all over again😌🤍
I am hoping that Emory pays pretty good for this position. Whats the starting pay?
Great video!! Do CAA’s actually attend surgery or any operations in the OR or do they prepare for before the procedure? I am considering AA but I don’t really like being present in OR and attend surgeries!
We are in the OR from beginning to end
Can you wear your own scrubs if you choose? or are you required to use the hospital's
LOVE this content!!! love seeing what you guys do. It was indeed busy. Cant get how you ugys do 14 h shifts.... How many days off u get after a 24h ?
I’ve never heard of 14 hr shifts.. only 8,10,12 and 24hrs depending on what you do.
And usually people who work 24hr shifts work 2 days a week.
so weird to you setting up airways and stuff since in the UK this is usually done by an ODP or nurse
Great video. Do they have a sleep room for CAA’s?
Are all shifts 24 hours? What is a typical schedule like for the week and how much flexibility is their if any at all?
omg the intro
thank you so muuch~~~~ I love your videos and you look really young and glowing😭💜💜💜 I'm gonna study hard and smart PRAY FOR ME GUYS HUHUHUHU😭
I’m in nursing school and I wanted to ask, do you recommend a certain drug book to learn these meds and what was your study tactic?
I've started to think about being anesthesiologists recently, but I'm afraid of making mistake😢 I think I'm not good at making quick decision and problem solving that's why I'm hesitating...
Hi is this job same as anaesthetic technician ? Please advise .
Let’s start with how flawless you look!
so cool :), was that lunch box a 16 can or 24 can?
Are there jobs where you can work two 24 hour shifts a week?
What classes do you actually take in the anesthesiologist program? I can’t find answers anywhere
Hi..i loved this video.can you tell me what did you study to have this job?
You look so young and glowing. How old were you when you were finally a certified anesthesiologist assistant?
Aw thank you!!! I was 24 when I graduated
@@Anesthesiasal do you have you to have a bachelors degree in order to be a CAA.
Yes you need a bachelors degree
@@Anesthesiasal thanks for taking time out of your day to answer my questions. I love watching your vids to keep me informed about CAA.
Does it matter what your bachelors degree is in? And how long does it take to get your License?
what wer your scores on the mcat to get accepted or does that not matter as much
Thanks 💗😎😎
I’m going into phlebotomy, I would love to move up the ranks but I absolutely couldn’t do overnight or 24 hour shifts so it puts me off :(
Before college I thought of doing this but I went ahead and went into nursing instead and then CRNA school. Working independently is what sold me on being a CRNA. But both are still awesome jobs that I recommend to anyone that wants a great career and living with less schooling. The education to income ratio is a lot better than most careers.
the shitty thing is CRNA’s now have to get an MD starting in 2025…
@@baileyferguson5862 not an MD but a doctorate.
Everyones different, if she wanted to be a crna, she would be a crna, tbh im attracted to being a CAA bc i dont wany to practice independently, theirs a job for everyone, CAA is hers and CRNA is yours🤞
I hope you're doing well. No videos for a long time. One Love
Just uploaded a new one!!
Hi, I am suppose to get hip replacement do you pee during anesthesia. I am worried about peeing on myself. Thank you!!
Hello ,sal. Have you had a patient with IRIDOCYCLITIS? If so, what was your proper management of care!!
im starting this job on monday as a nurse. since they we dont have cca or inhalo they going to use nurse. IM SCARED!
I'm a 12th pass out ,should I take bsc in anesthesia or mbbs in order to become aa
As soon as I heard save me, I liked the video immediately. Healthcare armys unite!! 💜
💜💜💜💜
💜💜💜
Your so pretty!😘😘😘
HI! I WOULD LIKE TO US IF HOW MANY YEARS DID U STUDY TO BECOME CRNA?
may i ask where you are located? i’m thinking i want to get into this but not sure if i could do this in my state 😅😇💗
Hi. How often do you have to work a 24 hour shift?
how many 24hr shifts do you do a week?
❤❤
