    Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    The patient was restless and gasping for air. The registered nurses quickly responded to the emergency by calling for an emergent intubation. Immediately after calling for assistance, a male wearing a surgical cap and a badge that read CRNA showed up. Though I was amazed by the entire experience, The Certified Nurse Anesthetist truly captured my attention. The encounter was intriguing to watch, as he took control of the chaotic situation and demonstrated passion, autonomy and knowledge. For example, he asked pertinent questions regarding the patients’ electrolytes and history demonstrating a strong foundation in his practice. After watching the Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA), I was eager to learn more about Nurse Anesthetist as a profession. I spent countless of time researching what it takes to become a successful CRNA. While still in nursing school, I strived to obtain a strong academic foundation. Though my overall GPA is 3.3, I was inducted into Sigma Theta Tau Nursing International Honor Society. Following nursing school graduation, I was still hungry to learn more about the profession. I began working in an 32-bed ICU in a rural area. I was fascinated with the amount of critical thinking skills required to care for ill patients. Less than a year, I was thirsting for more challenges. I relocated to UT Southwesten Medical Center. A biomedical Institution.. At this…
