The CRNAs are really nice and give you a lot of autonomy. Once you know what you are doing they let you induce the patients and run the case. You get plenty of a-lines, neuro cases, and trauma. Even a major trauma every once and a while.
Harris is overall a good/great clinical site. We work Monday-Friday 5:15ish to whenever your room is done–usually between 3-5 p.m. I normally have between 52-60 hours/week. No call shifts. There are always about 11-12 residents from TWU/TCU combined. We rotate working evening shifts (3-11). Every 2 weeks it’s someone else’s turn.
Good clinical site. I already have all my case numbers except for hearts. You get a good amount of central lines and art lines. Good staff. MDAs are ok. A few are a pain, but you get that every where.
Great experience.. You work 65-80 hours a week, 45 on a good week.. You are on call 4-6 x a month including a 24h call on weekends. Experience is amazing. Patients are mainly ASA 3-4. The only thing is that we don’t get that many hearts, but we do lots of thoracics, neuro, spines, and GI cases like whipples!
This is a small rural 2 OR facility with a GI room. Closely-knit staff. Slow pace. Complicated comorbidities may cause the case to be cancelled. Dr. Juan Quintana is the clinical coordination, Region 7 director of AANA.
