CRNA prep

Where can an aspiring CRNA go after nursing school to get the best clinical preperation before starting a CRNA program? Should I go into the ER, CCU or what????? Also, what is the MAT like and is it really different than the GRE?

Read the sticky at the top.. very good info.

You should try to go to a high acuity ICU - that is what is accepted at all schools. Whatever ICU gets the most swans, vents, vasoactive drips - that is where you want to be. Also if you are near a level one trauma, teaching hospital - that seems to be the best learning experience.

Good luck.

Thanks for the info. I just found this site yesterday and love it, just reading what you guys have to say is so interesting. I've got to do this, I know its for me. I'm pretty much getting my RN only to pursue either anesthesia or trauma nursing. I do live near a level 1 trauma and learning hospital, I will make sure to use it to my advantage. THANKS! Any more advice would be appreciated!
