Advice for future CRNA

Hi everyone I will be starting school this August for my ADN. I know I have while but I was thinking of eventually going for my CRNA. I have to admit I am a little nervous. Only bc I have scoliosis. Sometimes my back starts cramping up really bad is I stand for to long. I've been working out my core and that seemed to help a lot. I was wondering what everyone feeling are about my situation. I really apperciate everyone input:rolleyes:

    I am a licensed massage therapist as well as a RN, BSN from a very well respected Christian university and have a few years of MICU/SICU/CCU experience as well as med surg/cardiac stepdown exp. (woo, for me right, all that and 10 buck buys me about 2.5 gallons of gas, lol. my lil sis the bartender makes twice what i do) But anyhoo, all that just to hopefully lend credibility and background to my answer concerning your back issues.

    1) Rotations, occasional shifts in OR = (at my hospital anyways) CRNA gets a stool or chair. >80% cases

    2) You'll get downtime. no worries, it's not med surg nursing where u are literally standingrunningwalking all day and truly forget to eat, sit, or pee.

    3. Soooo many options to address this pain issue. Ask your physician for his/her helpfor treating this.
