A quick bio... I am a returning student (mid 20's, male) 2 yrs into an 4 yr RN program. GPA is 3.8, also have EMT-B certification. Have researched CRNA field for about a year and WANT THAT JOB and am willing to accept the sacrifices that I will need to make along the way. What can I be doing now, besides school, to get a leg up in the field? My part time job is patient transport in a hospital but this does not adequately challenge me or allow for networking with CRNA professionals (patient contact aside). I also volunteer as an EMT in my town and plan on getting my cardiac certification this summer. Are there part time jobs that any of you have held that helped to better position you for a future as an CRNA? Are there any types of mentor programs out there for nursing students that do not yet have their RN? Any info is greatly appreciated. Bill
