Just looking for advice about crna schooling & overall what the job is like for current crnas! ThanksYou don't know what the job is like but you know you want to be one.How so?
Courtneyrn9317 11 Posts Dec 11, 2017 Do you have nothing else better to do than to write senseless comments lol? Pretty sure any normal person would understand I am INTERESTED in becoming a CRNA and am looking for advice. AND there are different settings where crnas work. In the future, don't bother commenting on my posts if you don't have anything useful to contribute. Thanks!

CowboyMedic, BSN, RN 681 Posts Specializes in SRNA, Med-Surg-Neuro ICU, SDICU, EMS. Has 8 years experience. Dec 12, 2017 The simplest way to find out what a CRNA does is to simply shadow one. I had the fortunate experience when I was doing OR clinicals for my paramedic and thought it would be an awesome career if I didn't get on a career fire department, which was my first passion. I will start shadowing again in the Spring officially for school applications. There is a ton of information out there if your just willing to look and research. Also you will need to be willing to research since that is a big portion of your BSN and later on in CRNA school. You know, Evidence-Based Practice, so it might help you to start using your research skills like many of have already done.
