My name is Chabely. I'm a board Certified Anesthesiologist Assistant with a masters of science in anesthesia providing a glimpse into the CAA lifestyle.
A little about me:
I am a NYC native who always had an interest in medicine and pharmacology. I was heavily considering medical school and specializing in anesthesia until I learned more about advance practice providers in anesthesia. I graduated with my masters of medical science in anesthesia in 2021 and have worked two jobs since then as a board certified anesthesiologist assistant. I hope to raise more awareness about this awesome profession through this content. Outside of anesthesia, I am passionate about financial literacy and independence. I also love traveling and have a love/hate relationship with the gym.

Could I still get in with a really good senior year and internships + good GRE? I.E. Recent academic achievement
Bonus tip: check out the textbook “Anesthesiologist's Manual of Surgical Procedures” to get a better understanding of the anesthetic considerations for surgical procedures 📚
How does she not have loans?
She had financial support from her family :)
What is the top of these carriers? Is it CAA or CRNA?
They’re two different pathways to working as an anesthesia provider without going to medical school! CAAs and CRNAs work alongside each other but CRNAs also can work independently in some settings.
@@CAALifestyle so it means crna is better..I watched some shorts of your channel. Since I am unfamiliar with the terms of your country or abroad I might say, it's a little bit hard to comprehend. That's why I was asking about this. Can a nurse become a CAA as well ?
@@kdrama_enthusiast-h7z it would have been a much longer route for myself and other premeds to go through the nursing pathway to become a CRNA, so for a lot of people CAA is a better fit. It depends on the individual’s circumstances. Both are anesthesia providers and both are paid extremely well. And yes nurses have become CAAs!
Wait wait..! I am new here and wanna know about this field. So that means you actually selected to med school and did your special in anesthesiology or can a nurse become a anesthesiology assistant or a nurse anesthetist
Hey sis! I just wanna know about something about nursing. Actually due to my unexpected lower results of my A/l s, I guess i would be chosen for nursing for my higher studies. After a little investigation, i found this field really interesting. But i wanted to follow molecular biology earlier and be a person whk discovers drugs( idk what is it called). I want to know whether there is a probability of engaging in such a field after completing my nursing degree?
I am bsc anesthesia technician how i can apply CAa
I have no medical field experience.. where should i start? Also, have no school experience. Had to work and now that life has changed and i am 29, i would like to get into school soon. I just dont know where to start
Wow, that’s amazing🙏🏾! Good job to you guys! Happy for the patient!! So, it is possible to work as an AA and take emergency cases ? Does this require extra training or is this something that is taught in the program? Thank you!
As a student my classmates and I rotated through hospitals and were exposed to many surgery types. CAAs are trained to do emergency cases. I worked call on week nights and weekends as a student which helped prepare me for when I was doing it at work! Also in one of the hospitals I rotated at (as a student) I picked up extra call opportunities because I thought I was going to work there and wanted to get as much exposure as I could to what call would be like in that hospital.
@@CAALifestyle Good morning! This is good information to know. I was always curious. Thank you for taking the time to explain and inform me. Have a great day! :)
True story from when I worked from 7 AM - ~1 AM because I was the anesthetist on call that day. While on call I was responsible for providing anesthesia for emergent surgeries after 7 PM. However we were short staffed that day, and so I stayed in the hospital to cover the anesthesia needs past my shift until the last surgery was done and the patient was in the recovery room. The last surgery this day was to treat a patient who had developed a blood clot in their lower back. The patient had recently had spinal surgery and was lifting heavy objects at home. The patient ended up developing a blood clot in their lower back that was causing them to lose feeling in their legs. They needed surgery (and anesthesia care) ASAP to remove the blood clot that was compressing on their spinal nerves. Despite it being very late, the anesthesia and surgical team rallied and provided the patient with the care they needed that day.
I love drugs also 🎉 but also good on you, I’ve been there it’s a hard road! Half of the battle is finding what you want to begin with 😅
I love your vlogs! They are extremely informative!

Women want a man just as successful as them or they will never be happy. Men want a woman who will make them happy.
Yeah she already has a partner who is on her level, sorry you didn't make the cut.

@@carterfranklin1410 Sounds like you. Need more luck than me with your low mindset
Haha “match my freak” is a trend! I’ve been happily dating my bf for 4 years now :)

I'm taking anatomy and physiology now to fulfill the prereqs and its whooping my ass. Pray for me.
🙏🏼🤞🏼
Did she take the Mcat or gre
Love the video!! What kind of jobs did you work, while in school?? Thanks
Chabely, thank you so much for making this content! In a previous video I think that you mentioned that you paid for a cardiology class in order to sharpen your skills. I was looking into taking an online EKG course and was wondering whether this type of class would be similar subject matter that would be useful down the line as a CAA student. Is it possible to make a video that dives into some of the avenues that would be helpful to future students?
Hi that was a very interesting video. I am allergic to succinylcholine, I found this out after they saw my eyes were not opening after the anesthesia was wearing off. I was a little concern when I could hear my surgeon telling me they were going to give me a needle and my eyes should open up so they can take the tubes out of my throat which I was gaging on them. Do a lot of patients that you see have this also? Thank you David
Succinylcholine (a paralytic) usually wears off quickly unless someone has a pseudocholinesterase deficiency! In those cases patients metabolize the medication slower, which can explain an inability to open one’s eyes. I hope you feel better after your experience and I hope this information helps.
@@CAALifestyle My surgeon told me to tell my anesthesiologist never to give me this anesthesia ever. Thank you
As a respiratory therapist this is very helpful and encouraging thank you
Question. What do you. Do when you’re scheduled to work. But there are no surgeries happening? What do y’all do?
There are always surgeries. They are constantly scheduled.
The anesthesia care team (ACT) is used across the United States as a way to increase a patient’s access to safe anesthetic care. Medical school and residency trained physicians typically direct or supervise CAAs and CRNAs across 4 operating rooms. In critical or life-threatening circumstances, a patient has access to two anesthesia providers to deliver life saving anesthestic care.
how to apply to this program , could pleasse send the link for the application with international Nurse with master of nursing science . love this

I believe one American CAA made the transition but I don’t know much about it!
I m looking this program plz help me
Is shadowing before you become an AA student or during the program???
Before you apply!
Does having an associates in respiratory therapy a good start? What bachelors should i shoot for? Are you the one intubating/managing the patient. Does the physician anesthesiologist play a large roll in cases? Or are you managing the patient? Sorry for all the questions
Congratulations… but she looks older than 40. I’m glad she is doing what makes her happy, but we all need to ask what is worth it for us, I don’t know if working 60 hours or more is what is making her look older and overweight. It’s really worth it to sacrifice our health for it? But again, she is living the lifestyle she likes, I just mean that is not for everyone. And maybe instead of college funds her kids would rather more quality time? I don’t know, each family is different right.
At what point does one start shadowing? After the bachelors degree?
Lets get it!!!!!!!!
How long did it take you including the pre req and AA school. I get a mix of 24-28 months and another 6-7 years
Respiratory Therapist without a doubt.
why do you think so? i mostly see people say biology but i would like to know more
@@tanastan123 because Respiratory Therapists already intubate and place arterial lines. Respiratory therapists go over mechanical ventilation in far more depth than what is required for anesthesia. So by being proficient in aspects of anesthesia before you even go to that program. it makes the program less stressful and more enjoyable.
I disagree with the implication that introverts don’t have social skills. Introversion vs extraversion is not a matter of social skills. In fact, your comments about needing to go home and recharge after interacting with people all day is the classic definition of an introvert. Extraverts are energized by interacting with people and don’t need their quiet time like introverts.
Introverts absolutely have social skills. I’ve come across prospective applicants and shadowers that very quiet and seem to prefer less social interaction, so I want people to be aware that this is a very social job before committing to a career in this profession.

Did she have to take some time to complete all the PreReqs?
I also have that dream, although i wanted to be an anesthesiologist, not an anesthesiologist assistant.
Does shadowing count towards this? I’m a sophomore in college and don’t know how to go about getting one of these jobs
Just being an anesthesiologist assistant is six-figure job
Definitely a good job, gotta be on point though.. any minor slip up can be fatal
Not the point tho lol
@@RickyPacksthat’s why they get payed a lot so they can get the best insurance so if anything would happen they can pay for a good lawyer
Is assistant anastheology will become anastheology?
@@meatadventures8182 what's the point then?
She obviously isn't lacking any "motivators"
There are others who may have similar motivators but she still outworks 90+% of the CAAs I know!
Can you still do locum in Georgia if you live in Georgia ?
Yes :)
If I may ask approximately how much do you make a year as a certified AA?
