- Many of times people ask me what career should they choose in Anesthesia? In this video I go over the three main careers and how do the lifestyle and pay compare. Because what career should you choose in anesthesia is important it is very important for you to get all the facts and see what I go through daily as an anesthesiologist, as other videos on my channel show .
** there is a small typo my editor made during the video, towards the end he spelled patience wrong. Just note this guys, sorry for that. I didn't catch it in time.
My name is Dr. Karen Francois and I am a 5th year Attending physician based out of NY. These stories will chronicle my life with Anesthesia, as an Anesthesiologist and home life with my husband and 3 children. Through these glimpses into my life I hope to inspire and motivate young women or men into seriously considering Anesthesia as a career choice.
I am a Doctor and I as born and raised in the projects of the Bronx NY and I made it to become of highly respected physician , if I can do it then any one else in my situation can do the same.

Thank you so much for producing this content! It’s motivating seeing an African American woman like myself working in the field. I’ve been doing research between a CRNA and an Anesthesiologist so your video came right on time.
🙌🏾
Me too! I need more advice since I’m a mom of two and have to start front the beginning to get better grades!
I love your braids. So classy and your hair looks so healthy.
Thanks so much!!
I'm applying to med school this summer; I love learning about pain physiology & pharm, so, gas is on my radar :)
You’re videos are awesome! As I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized that medical school is a game of patience. I’m 29 and married with 3 kids. Just starting my pre-reqs for medical school. Getting my RN and having the extra income NOW sounds very appealing because money is tight. This is also a reason why I think so many start off on a pre-medical path but eventually steer elsewhere. If you think about it though, the timeline is about the same. 4 Years for your BSN, 2-3 ICU years and then 3 years for CRNA school. Give or take an extra 1 or 2 years for completing other required classes and not getting into ICU right out of Nursing school. I’n Essence it’s the same. It’s just a matter of what you have the patience for :).
Yeah it's pretty much the same if you ask me..
Check AA school out
No anesthesiologist is 3-4 more years
Team Future CRNA ❤️❤️ Thank you for the amazing video
Great video Dr. Francois! It was very informative on the careers as we need to make an informed decision on what we want to do in medicine.
Thanks for this video I just started nursing school and really considering crna school
Inspiring words
Waoooo very very informative. Thanks 🙏🏽 a lot for sharing ❤️🥰😘😍
AAs work within the surgical team but like you said ICU and trauma are great areas for AAs skill set. They have extensive training in airway control and are often called upon for intubation. Also on average they make 160-180k range
Thanks for this info! Sounds like a great career
Thanks again for another amazing video this was very helpful. I absolutely think since I’m pre- nursing now that CRNA is the best path for me.
I enjoy bedside care and the ICU is the specialty I want to choose as a nurse. My goal is to work on the CCU and get at least 2 yrs of experience then apply for CRNA school. I loved this video. I didn’t even know Anesthesia assistant existed.
Shayla, you’re already well on your way to becoming a CRNA, a career I think you’d be wildly happy with! Keep going..it will definitely pay off! All the best to you!
Dr Karen Francois, MD
Aww thank you so much for all you do! Keep up the great work and your videos inspires people more than you know. 😘🥰
I love your videos you have inspired me to follow my dream to be a doctor l am in the 8 grade
You can do it!! ❤️
SAME
You are an able reprdentatative of the black awesomeness. Can you please post a video on dental anestheoogist highlighting an average day, outlook and Salaries.
hey I've enjoyed all your videos that I've watched , however how can I be sure anesthesia is for me?
Thanks for putting out this video! I’m a 3rd year medical student that is applying to anesthesiology residency this cycle. I’ve been told by residents that there is a shortage of both anesthesiologists and CRNAs but I have classmates that continue bring up the question of job security because of CRNA’s. Also the VA allowing CRNA’s to have full practice authority is concerning. Could you address the prospective job security of physician anesthesiologists?
It's not personal, it's just the cost of doing an Anesthesia business. I don' t believe the position will go anywhere in the future but the salaries and bargaining power will come down in the favorable area
@ALightSwitch very valid concerns..I think those kind of changes are at the forefront of Anesthesiologist worries, and it’s a topic worthy of its own video..For the most part these types of care models are necessary in under-served areas and in the VA system, if there aren’t enough physician anesthesiologists. It’s a regional thing..my area of practice(NY state) had suspended required physician supervision of CRNAs during the recent peak of COVID-19 cases-because there was such demand for skills. It will be an interesting future, but I’m very confident my job will be secure.
From what I've witnessed, the scarcity mentality tends to bring out the most polarizing angles in what should be healthy discourse among the interdisciplinary team. There's enough at the table for everyone to eat.
Hello I’m currently in school to become an RN but I’m thinking about becoming an AA I have my medical Assistant but I’m trying to see should I continue with nursing. How do I get on the path to become an AA?
What about a critical care fellowship? What does that entail?
I'm a third year medical student thinking about anesthesiology. Are you concerned on the future of anesthesiology? with increasing rights for CNRAs etc?
Hi Joseph, glad to hear it! No, I’m not. Yes, healthcare is evolving but I am confident in the job stability for physicians. All the best to you!
@@3anesthesiame40 Thank you for much for the reply! It's been a challenging decision between general surgery or anesthesia
All the best with the decision-making process..but really the choice is obvious!😉
Anesthesiologists Assistants (CAAs) are Anesthetists that do the same thing as CRNAs. It would have been fair to mention them too. However, they only currently practice in some states.
Thanks for watching! If not in this video, I definitely mentioned CAAs in my video on “Careers in Anesthesia”
CAAs cannot do the same thing as CRNAs because if that was the case they would be able to practice independently like CRNAs
I am still contemplating whether nursing is the best path first. I know pre-med is a track. Nursing is major. I keep seeing that pre-med is better for students who want to prepare for the MCAT/medical school. I have always wanted to become an anesthesiologist since middle school. I am 21 and I just want to feel situated and relieved. I changed my major to nursing 3 times. I am now doing pre-med at a community college for an associate in science and feel a lot more relieved, but not all the way. I am afraid I will regret nursing first because it will give me a job after school. and let me know whether I am capable of going to medical school. I have looked into CRNA and it's not the path I want. I know if I go to med school I will be in debt. Any advice.
Listen to your gut, you changed your major several times. Once you made the decision to go premed, close the door to nursing and don't look back. Work your tail off in undergrad and get your shadowing and volunteer hours. Study for the mcat in your last year of science classes. Take the mcat and apply broadly. You are young and have plenty of time. Do NOT give up!
Google Anesthesiologist Assistants. This sounds like it may be the right path for you.
@@frosty_teacup thank you! I will look into Anesthesiologist Assistants. I appreciate your comment and advice. 😊
@@Lena1023 thank you Lena. I will try to job shadow an Anesthesiologist if I can sooner or later. I’ve learned over the years no matter how hard the career is that you want to pursue you can not deny that career because it’s too hard or you won’t make it. I will definitely not give up. I know what worked and what did not. I will move on to pre-med.
@@Karen-tt3dt Yes! Reach for the stars! I wish I did 10 years ago.
Were you a traditional student? This is my dream medical specialty but I fear I am too old.
Non-traditional student here! Hope you saw my video on the topic! Thanks so much for watching!
Hello, I have a Bachelor’s degree in Anesthesia Technologist. How do I obtain a free scholarship to study a master’s degree in Anesthesia in America or any country? I am a diligent student and I would like to provide a service to people now and in the future
Omg. You work at west heater medical center? I grew up in westchester
Do you have like Facebook or instagram because I wanted to ask some question about anesthesiology
Yes my Instagram is @3anesthesiaandme
CRNA here- thank you for making this video. I was a military CRNA, so I am a completely independent provider making ALL decisions, treatments, etc on my own.
However all programs will be 36 months by 2025
Thank you for the information. I wanted to ask, if you wanted to become a CRNA, and you wanted to bridge over to become a Physician in Anesthesiology after graduating as a CRNA, how long would it take? Sorry about how I worded the question.
Arthrentia Arizpe you would need to go back to school to take the prerequisites for medical school, then take the MCAT and apply to med school. Do the four years of med school to become a doctor and then hopefully get into an anesthesiology residency. That’s the only way. You can’t “bridge” from CRNA to become a doctor
Arthrentia Arizpe, the question you posed is a unique path not commonly followed, but coincidentally; Dr. Jane C.K. Smith president of the ASA (American Society of Anesthesiologists) began her anesthesia career as a CRNA, who went back to complete medical school followed by an anesthesia residency. Here’s a quote from the ASA page: “As a former nurse anesthetist, Dr. Fitch will bring a unique perspective to her presidency,” said ASA Immediate Past President John M. Zerwas, M.D. “She understands the important role of having a physician anesthesiologist lead other members of the anesthesia care team, including anesthesiologist assistants and nurse anesthetists, to provide the highest-quality and safest patient care available.” Pretty neat, huh ☺️
I think adapting the "physician anesthesiologist" phrasing is damaging. Anesthesiologist = someone with MD or DO degree who specialized in the field. Its like saying physician surgeon. "Nurse anesthesiologist" is being pushed by nurse group for political reasons.
Great Talk. But never seen this beutiful talk in the practical field. I do not want a CRNA to do a case if I am involved in decision making, but I want an anesthesiologists an expert in handling anesthesia on any type of patients even those who have multiple comorbidities.
Would you please STOP making such
" talk the talk " vedios and misleading common public people.
I am a nurse 28 yrs. Critical Care Nurse for 18 yrs altogether in three different States IL , TX and FL in different types hospital governed by federal Government, State Government, profit making private and non profit making corporate hospitals and even for home health as case manager for few months for convenience for family all through my carrier
Worked in PACU 5.8 yrs altogether in two different states.
I have seen only 20 % of CRNA does a good hob in OR .Seen all the drama played by CRNA and their mismanagement of cases in OR and then as a result patients in PACU develop complications and lots of narcotic drug waste smuggling stories by CRNA 's from OR.
If CRNA 's are that expert as you explained why don't they manage PACU ??????
They are only responsible to place an initial PACU common set orders which already established in the system . If any other comications developed in the PACU as a result of mismanagement of sedatives , paralytics , other drugs and fluids by CRNA in OR , Attending Anesthesiologists must be called to take care of that complications. Every PACU has this same policy in USA
What an easy job for a CRNA !!!!!!!
For 80 % of the cases , CRNA oversedate the patients if patient has other comorbidities.
Why ??????
That is because CRNA do not study anatomy and physiology , pharmacology, drug to drug interaction in depth how an Anesthesiologists studied over those years of being a Doctor .
Give some respect to those Anesthesiologists at least for those years they spend to become an expert for the well being of humanity.
you stink
I was taught not to make money off the weak and suffering
I message you on Instagram.
