whoever you are supervising is terrible then
There are also a lot more CRNAs being pumped out these days. The quality of their training is worse because they themselves are being trained by relatively inexperienced CRNAs. A lot of bad (weird) habits are being perpetuated. I’ve worked with some really great experienced CRNAs who can make my supervision days a pleasure, but some of these new grad CRNAs are barely functioning at a CA1 level. Those days can be quite stressful. The difference is a CA1 is usually pretty timid, but these new CRNAs are having it ingrained that they are our equal, so they are cocky and make bad decisions. I would much much much rather do my own cases than deal with a 1:4 day supervising a bunch of fresh grad CRNAs.
