What is unique about your job ? It ’ s unique in that you can do this job for five to ten years and never feel comfortable or at the top of your game . The rules are always changing . One of the most rewarding things is helping providers understand why their documentation matters and that we are on the same team . A unique challenge is trying to explain that although they could document a certain way in the past , the requirements change , and we need to be sure that our documentation truly reflects the care we give and supports the diagnoses we capture on the patient ’ s record . This role allows me to be a liaison between providers and coders . It includes detective work , critical thinking , knowledge of coding rules and regulations and knowledge of disease processes and treatments . I enjoy collaborating with other departments to work toward better outcomes for patients and improving our data to reflect the severity of illness of our patient population .

difference in a workplace environment . At Women & Infants , I ’ m happy to say I work with the best team of nurses and wouldn ’ t be the nurse I am today without them . A successful nursing team shares the same goal , and our team ’ s goal is to deliver high-quality care and advocacy to our patients and do everything in our power for a healthy mom and baby . I ’ m able to call out for help at any time and have labor and delivery nurses bedside with me , help me in emergencies , provide care and answer questions for my patient as if they were assigned to them as well .

reinforce why I chose this profession . They provide me with the tools to work to my full potential while sharing the same enthusiasm , vision and values when it comes to providing safe and high-quality anesthesia care . Not to mention an amazing work-life balance . Besides working full-time , I do missionary work in the Dominican Republic every year , an amazing privilege that strengthens my passion and love for patient care .
What is the most rewarding part of the job ?
I always refer to CRNAs as health care ninjas . We provide impeccable anesthesia care and most of our patients never know we were there or remember us , which is how we know we did a good job . While my profession is very humbling , there is nothing more rewarding than safely transferring a patient — stable and free of any pain or discomfort — to the recovery room after a surgical procedure . This is the best part of my job and I sleep well at night knowing that my dedication to my profession , patients and colleagues are absolute and unwavering . 🆁
