How I Survived Crna School And You Can Too

This book is written by a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) for anyone who aspires to become a CRNA. It contains answers to the many questions about the journey to becoming a CRNA, such as applying to nurse anesthesia school, the interview process, shadowing a CRNA, getting accepted into a program, the life of a Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist and so much more. This book is full of knowledge that will assist the reader in the transition from wanting to become a CRNA to actually becoming one. As a Registered Nurse, the author had many questions about what CRNAs do on a daily basis and how he could achieve his goals to pursue the same career. This book was written to bridge the gap between RN and CRNA.

If you've made it into CRNA school or are considering applying, you probably know how difficult it will be getting from orientation day to graduation day. As a successful graduate of nurse anesthesia school, I will provide some insight into what it takes to go from a student to a CRNA. Some of these things I learned while I was in school, while others I picked up on after I started working as a nurse anesthetist. It was not an easy road for me, and it won't be for you either. But I hope you can learn from my mistakes and perhaps some of the bumps along the way will be a little smaller. The aim of this book is not to teach you anesthesia itself. Rather, it is to teach you how to survive while learning the art of anesthesia.

Nurse anesthetists work closely with surgeons and physicians to provide pain-free, safe treatment to patients around the world. Nurses were the first to administer anesthetics to wounded soldiers during the United States Civil War (1860-1865) and continue to be the primary anesthesiology to U.S. military servicemembers around the world.The Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CNRA) is one of the more difficult certifications an RN can receive, requiring years of post-graduate study and clinical experience. Students entering CRNA programs today will graduate with the title "Doctor of Nursing Practice," the highest scholastic award available to nurses.Becoming a CRNA is a long and arduous journey that begins with admission to one of the nation's colleges with CRNA programs. Acceptance in a program is limited to those with superior scholastic records and experience in the delivery of intensive or critical care.

Anesthesia Crash Course is uniquely positioned to address the needs of new trainees in anesthesia. This book is written in a conversational tone, avoiding unnecessary jargon and distilling the key concepts of anesthesia into easy-to-remember tidbits - an approach in increasing demand by medical students and junior physicians. The audience for this book is chiefly new anesthesia residents, interns, medical students who rotate through anesthesia services, and nurse anesthetists. By demystifying the world of anesthesia, it provides a welcome resource to medical students and RNs who are considering additional training in this popular but poorly understood specialty. Surgical residents who feel they're not up to speed with what's happening on the other side of the "ether screen" would certainly also benefit from reading Anesthesia Crash Course. New anesthesia trainees face an extremely daunting learning curve. As they progress through training, they will read longer and more detailed treatises on every aspect of modern anesthesia. It is not realistic to imagine that someone might finish such a book in the first week of his or her training! Anesthesia Crash Course wil serve as a bridge between a trainee's pre-anesthesia experience and more formal training. It can be read in the last month of internship, or in evenings while completing the first few weeks of anesthesia training. It can also serve as a medical student's accompaniment for a two-week anesthesia elective.
