The New Anesthesia Student Personal journey Mental preparations Family preparations Potential Financial preparations
And Then School Starts….
THE STAGES OF GRIEF IN ANESTHESIA SCHOOL
Shock & Denial Anesthesia School is easy. I’ll have time for my family. I’ll have time for a life.
Pain & Guilt How fast does CO2 rise? Need Sleep.. Send the kids to grandma’s. Can’t do it, graduation is when?
Anger & Bargaining God smite my MDA. Please grant me the serenity to shut
up.
Depression, Reflection & Loneliness How will I get thru BioChemisty? It’s a dog eat dog world.. Does anyone else feel this way?
The Upward Turn I finished my Research paper. My class load is over. That is not a train…
Reconstruction & Working Thru Putting things together. Preload is wall tension? Negative Pressure Pulmonary Edema?
Acceptance & Hope Graduation in 8 months.
6 months for the Valley Students. I will get thru. I will pass my boards.
The Journey itself Hours of study. Unanswered questions abound. Cliques form.
People you go to for answers. Support.
Other Avenues of Support. Professors. Colleagues Family. Other School Students

useful? Other issues
Would students utilize a blog? If so, how often? Would Instructor involvement preclude usage?
Why I chose this Topic? Struggles of Anesthesia School Nurses not supporting Nurses Lack of a Student Support System Ventilation r/t the “Experience” A Place to Exchange Information.
