It was you I spoke with, and yes there were a lot of questions that were asked, and I already knew the path to nursing because I started out this path, and was just a few classes shy of applying for nursing school. my end goal was CRNA, that is why my questions were geared towards that as for the legislative question they were asked because I wanted to do VA work to work with veterans but all the articles I found were negative about CRNAs and anesthesiologists in the VA. That is the only reason those questions were asked if you know what you want to end up as you might as well know the end goal, and if there were going to be a lot of those issues I didn’t want to deal with that. As for the group you are referring to as me shadowing I’m not sure who all is still there as I shadowed between 04-06. And the hospital would have the record of it as the patient had to sign the consent to let me watch his back surgery in the operating room. I was very disappointed in their approach to your questions about me and it only further fueled my thoughts about this role. The accusations were proven in a court of law to be false and I don’t think that someone should be judged by a accusation especially when they proved it to false. You have my email I would be more than happy To discuss further. I’m not one for publicly bashing someone and I have had enough of that as you can imagine. I mean no harm or hate towards you or anyone else, If you want to talk further about this please shoot me an email. I will not reach out to you given the circumstances.
To wrap up, CRNA was a long time goal for me it started when I worked in hospital but life takes us all down several paths, mine was a winding path that eventually led me to the conclusion that i was not in a position to stop working and spend that much time away from my family to obtain this degree. I changed my major last year from medical to business and moved on. To each their own. We all have to figure out what’s best for us and our families. I decided CRNA was not in my future. Have a good day and I wish all the new potential CRNAs the best of Luck
