Thinking About Becoming a CRNA?

Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists play a critical role in patient care. What’s drawing you to this specialty?

I figured out if CRNA was for me by asking the OR scheduler to let me “shadow a CRNA for one 6 a.m.–noon block,” then jotting the induction meds and airway steps to study after; if your hospital blocks shadows, catch PACU handoffs instead. What access do you have to the OR right now?
