I remember reading posts about a book on the history of nurse anesthetists, but I can't remember the name of the book or the author!! Oops. I've seen it recommended for anyone interested in pursuing the CRNA career path to read. If anybody knows what book I'm talking about, can you please give me the name and author? And anhy tips on where to find it would be great. Thanks:nuke:

I think the book most often mentioned is Watchful Care, but another really good book is History of Anesthesia With Emphasis on the Nurse Specialist by Virginia Thatcher.
It can be downloaded as a pdf file off the AANA website, it's out of copyright, the address is:

Yes! That's the one! Thanks:)
