Got my denial d/t not meeting app requirements. Nursing CAS said an interview with a CRNA is OK, website said 8hrs shadowing. Submitted 16 hrs of shadowing with a MD Anesthesiologist as well as my phone interview with a CRNA because I didn't have access to shadow a local CRNA—my hospital system doesn't utilize RN anesthetist.
