Read full description

SRNA Buddy is the daily companion built for student nurse anesthetists — and it's better with your cohort. Pool what you each learn about the providers and clinical sites you rotate through, so nobody walks into a room cold. SHARED WITH YOUR COHORT - Keep notes on the CRNAs, surgeons, and anesthesiologists you work with — preferences, quirks, and workflow - Build survival guides for each clinical site: parking, badge access, where to scrub in, who to find - Learn from the classmates who rotated before you — and pass it forward to the ones coming next - No cohort yet? Start solo and invite your class anytime WALK IN READY - Set tomorrow's lineup, then tap any room to pull up the plan and your cohort's notes before you scrub in - Build a library of anesthetic plan templates you can fork and make your own - Keep airway, block, and case notes together in one place TRACK YOUR CASES - Log a case in seconds — each one is automatically sorted into your requirement categories - Watch your progress bars move against targets you set to match your program's COA minimums - Add your own custom requirements, and set your graduation countdown MOVE CASES OVER, FASTER - Copy any case as a clean, formatted block — date, procedure, anesthesia type, ASA, time, specialty, preceptor, site, and more - Paste it into Typhon, Medatrax, or whatever system your program uses, instead of hunting through your notes KNOW YOUR NUMBERS - Break your cases down by type, specialty, and anesthetic to spot gaps early - See at a glance where you stand and what's left before graduation PRIVATE BY DESIGN - No ads, no trackers, no selling your data - Your logs and notes are yours Whether you're a first-year finding your footing or counting down to boards, SRNA Buddy keeps your cohort, your cases, and your prep in one place — so you can focus on becoming the CRNA you're training to be. SRNA Buddy is a personal logging and study companion. Please don't enter protected health information (PHI). Your case counts and targets are for your own tracking and don't replace your program's official records.
