Hello and good afternoon. I thank you for taking the time to respond to my initial inquiry. I do have some specific questions. For example. I understand that all Registered Nurses must have knowledge of Dosage Calculation. From basic to the more advanced calculations. For a CRNA, however, where do the Dosage Calculations branch off into more intricate and complex calculations? Typically, what types of medications ( yes I know its anesthesia ) would you say a CRNA typically uses daily on the regular? Such as for any surgical operations? Could you give me a broad description of the daily life of a CRNA might look like on the job? I am pretty familiar with the steps to become a CRNA and I am beginning to differentiate the work/life balance but I would love any experiences that you guys may have had. For example. I am even considering, if I choose to pursue a CRNA license, possibly become a travel CRNA. A very important question that I have is actually the outlook for employment in terms of a CRNA. What is the projected job outlook like? Is the percentage of CRNA positions decreasing or is there a high chance of an increase? Thank you again for your time.

Hey there! There's a LOT of routes you can go once you become a CRNA; pain clinics, hospitals, independent practice... I've even interviewed CRNAs who've gone into aesthetics and legal areas! 🙂

CRNAs also remain in high demand-- check out this article on the projected Job outlook for CRNA: https://crnaschoolprepacademy.com/blog-is-CRNA-over-saturated-plus-new-CRNA-schools

PS- 22 new CRNA Programs opened in the last year or so; that alone should speak to the Outlook of the profession. Here's more details on those: https://crnaschoolprepacademy.com/podcast/new-CRNA-programs-opening-in-2024-2025-should-you-apply
