as someone who knows for a fact that i want to apply to grad school next year, i think this was a perfect summary video! it’s really confirmed for me this is what i want to do. well done!
Thank you so much for your helpful, informative content. Your channel is a gem of UA-cam for going into detail about this career. I’m in the process of submitting my application now and am extremely excited to get into this field!
I have been a Respiratory Therapist for 10+ yrs and am getting interested in completing these pre-reqs and going back to Grad school and through what sounds like a very very rigorous challenging programs!
I wanted to be a CRNA, Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist but I didn’t finish nursing school due to multiple issues going on in my life at the time. I was 6 months away from getting my BSN when I dropped out. It was painful knowing I was this close but couldn’t finish.
I talk about other jobs CAAs do in this video: ua-cam.com/video/revvi9NvQBc/v-deo.html There is a general ceiling to the income at this time, but I talk about why I'm still satisfied compared to the physician route in this video: ua-cam.com/video/Rj6_3elyTiU/v-deo.html

Hi! Question, would you think I would be considered for a AA program? 6 years ago in my early twenties I went into the nursing programs for the wrong reasons (followed my ex career path) and had to withdraw (twice)because I wasn’t 100% in. Worked some financial jobs for a while and then joined the military. Now I got out with a computer science degree and still have my anatomy prerequisites. But I’m all in for this field and want to apply but I don’t know if I would be considered at all due to my past failings. Long winded sorry. But what do you think? I’m getting my emt to work and volunteer and shadow AA for at least 40 hours. If not way more.
This is gonna be crazy question. I know you said if you want something bad enough to go after it. But 20 to 25 years ago don’t be a priest, but I don’t know if I have what it takes because the learning disability and all that but since I’ve been in the hospital here and there lately they make it seem so easy just like I wanna do this now it should be all hands-on without biology and chemistry and whatever other courses of there are. Is there anything I could do . I like to learn about anesthesia, but is there anything I could do to work around the schooling?
Ive been working in sterile processing for years now and i keep getting more interested in anesthesiology very intensly. As a 29 year old do you think its worth starting school and going through the 6 years of school?
technically with the amount of flexibility you have, like only having to work 2 days a week (or maybe even less), you can get another job with other skills you have right? would that be possible? if so that sounds actually very exciting
I’m wondering if I can work as a CAA in Oregon or California…I’m really interested in anesthesiology and my major right now is biochem. I’m planning to attend a PA school to be a CAA. Does this sound like a good plan?

Hey, Alexis! Great question. As a native NYer I whole heartedly want to see this profession expand into every state. That is part of the reason why I started this channel. In addition, I donate to the legislative fund in order to support the lobbyists who work towards advancing AA into more states. Advancing this profession requires financial support. Last year AAs raised 50k to support legislative efforts. There is ongoing lobbying that will take place in 2024. This is the link to donate: paylink.paytrace.com/Payment Lastly, I know of more than one CAA from Tennessee and they work in Georgia! I hope I answered your question :)
I compare the CAA route versus medical school route in this video and why I'm satisfied with my choice: ua-cam.com/video/Rj6_3elyTiU/v-deo.html But I can elaborate on this more in a different video!
Im a senior in high school on the ropes about pursuing a career in medicine and if so, I have my mind on anesthesia, dont know anyone personally in that field and I have questions about Anesthesia tech but don’t trust google, any help?
Hi mam, Im from India and I'm very interested to do CAA course. As I've been surfing websites and media your the most trusted person to ask. Mam may know what are the requirements for international students to CAA course mam ? I'm currently studying bsc. Anaesthesia technology and Im in my internship year.
@howto...9289 it is not necessary to be a nurse. CAAs and CRNAs are used interchangeably in the anesthesia care team and the safety is comparable! Check out more information with this playlist ua-cam.com/play/PLnA73D8ZlTdvXztgTaa_hmdQCLFuf5AVC.html&si=ShVClqsyjDXTr20x
I’ve met many providers (doctors, PAs, nurses, etc.) who have shared that sentiment. That is part of why I try to showcase this profession. I believe more people would pursue this route if they knew about it.
@@CAALifestyle oh I see! Yeah that’s no problem for me mine would only be 3 classes and I love science so it doesn’t worry me :) thanks for answering I was nervous I got my info wrong about a nurse applying haha
This job is very procedure heavy and the training focuses on both pharmacology and physiology and the many procedures CAAs do. Pharmacists have very different training but can apply and grow through AA school in order to do the same work.
What’s the alternative you suggest? I have stayed hours past my shift in high acuity cases and have followed up with patients beyond their pacu stay (including months after). I also believe in time off to reset as it helps me to continue to deliver great care for every patient.
Fair enough and perhaps you are an exception to the rule… That said - if I had the answer to fixing this horrible healthcare system I assure I WOULD NOT be here on UA-cam commenting on anything! But the fact remains that I, as a patient have suffered by the “shift work” structure from pa’s, NP, the hospitalist and the like… that’s all I got

@@CAALifestyle question what’s the difference between anaesthesia technician and anesthesia assistant?
@@aliquran7535Great question
@@aliquran7535the tech helps the crna, CAA, or anesthesiologist maintain the equipment for use but can’t give the anesthesia

I am SO PROUD OF YOU!!! ❤
My big fear is hurting someone or making a mistake. 😢one bad day might mean a lifetime of sorrow…. And I can’t get over that fear
To me that means you care about doing a good job (:
Wow I chose the wrong career. I only have 3 weeks off and make way less. You won in life

🫂 this is me to but I was going to get my AS RN
I’m in the same position. I wonder if this would affect the application process of AA schools
You can do it
@ 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Go back to school
Great vid!
I love your videos! they're so helpful!
A 60 hour work week seems too much for any person who MUST stay vigilant and concentrated to perform a delicate job. Same applies to doctors.
Can AA work in cometic surgery clincs in florida?
Hi! Can you share which program you graduated from? Average course workload with balancing a family/work life in addition to the program?
Once you become an CAA, Is there any sort of ladder you can climb in terms of rank and/or income or is this profession capped at a certain level?
The scope is limited. You can teach, be an equipment and anesthesia sales manager, go back to medical school..

@@CAALifestyle why?
Ive been working in sterile processing for years now and i keep getting more interested in anesthesiology very intensly. As a 29 year old do you think its worth starting school and going through the 6 years of school?
the time will pass either way! might as well get into something you’ll love ❤
have you had, to work on someone you knew or family member? ifso, how was the experience?
technically with the amount of flexibility you have, like only having to work 2 days a week (or maybe even less), you can get another job with other skills you have right? would that be possible? if so that sounds actually very exciting
I talk about nonclinical positions CAAs do in this video:
ua-cam.com/video/revvi9NvQBc/v-deo.html
You may work 2 days but you're working 40 hours in 2 days. So you'll need 2 days to recover from that at least.
@@msheehandub there are people who work two days and 8, 10, or 12 hour shifts (under a 40 hour work week). Everyone's situation is different.

Idk if I missed it, did you say you work 60 hours a week to obtain your >$200k salary? Or how much do you work to obtain that?
Do you think CAA’s will be eligible to work in more states in the future? Because I’m from Tennessee and they aren’t eligible here .

Is this Canada or USA?
Must one first be a nurse before going into anesthesiology? Is it safer and better?

I would reach out to the programs and find out :)
can i study this after completing advanced diploma in respiratory therapy?

hi mam , im from india
is anesthesia technologist same as anesthesiologist assistant?
No
Hey guyz I'm form india can anybody tell me how i can become an anesthesia tech in uk my experience is 3years
You have a computer in your hand…Google.
I met a lot of nurses who said they wish they went CAA
I’ve met many providers (doctors, PAs, nurses, etc.) who have shared that sentiment. That is part of why I try to showcase this profession. I believe more people would pursue this route if they knew about it.
@CAALifestyle yes! I was in medical school for 3 years and I never heard of it!
As a nurse you can still go into this though right? That’s why I am planned (3 yr nurse, no ICU and not interested in CRNA right now)
@@Amber-zh1hh yes nurses can apply if they have the pre-reqs, but they were not interested in going back to school to complete the pre-reqs.
@@CAALifestyle oh I see! Yeah that’s no problem for me mine would only be 3 classes and I love science so it doesn’t worry me :) thanks for answering I was nervous I got my info wrong about a nurse applying haha
Why wouldn’t they just offer this to pharmacists instead. Doesn’t make sense
This job is very procedure heavy and the training focuses on both pharmacology and physiology and the many procedures CAAs do. Pharmacists have very different training but can apply and grow through AA school in order to do the same work.
Hello are there any liability issues in this field? Thanks :)
Do they also call you, “doctor”?
I am not a doctor so there would be no reason to :)
India total different
you're beautiful 😍
“Shift work” that’s part of the problem with healthcare providers… That’s all I will say
What’s the alternative you suggest? I have stayed hours past my shift in high acuity cases and have followed up with patients beyond their pacu stay (including months after). I also believe in time off to reset as it helps me to continue to deliver great care for every patient.
Who tf are you?
Fair enough and perhaps you are an exception to the rule… That said - if I had the answer to fixing this horrible healthcare system I assure I WOULD NOT be here on UA-cam commenting on anything! But the fact remains that I, as a patient have suffered by the “shift work” structure from pa’s, NP, the hospitalist and the like… that’s all I got
@@msheehandub excuse me?!
I understand your frustration better now and I’m sorry to hear you had a bad experience.
Do you see lots of blood?
It depends on the type of surgery but I can.
