CRNA stands for certified registered nurse anesthetist. They administer anesthia.......Like an anesthsiologist, only cooler b/c they were a nurse first!!

Thank you everyone for your replies. Elenaster, I will definaltley take you up on your offer. Tommy the closer I get to graduation the more I'll need your insight. Also , good luck with your program!!:roll

Thanks for your response NCgirl! I did mean Neonatal. I am from Charleston WV and want to move back there eventually so I will apply to CAMC's program. I have been on camcare's web site and i know what the minimum requirements are, but if any one is currently going there or has been accepted to CAMC's NA program I would love to hear what you think made you the best candidate!!! :) Thanks !!!!!

Hi! I am currently in a BSN program and have been compiling information on becoming a CRNA. I went into nursing knowing I wanted to do this. I have been on the AANA website many times. I know that I have to have at least one year of acute care nursing under my belt before I can apply to a NA program. I have read on here many times that the bigger the ICU the better. I want to work in the NICU. The question that I have is this..How do I knowif the hospitals ICU or NICU is big enough to make me a competitive canidate? I will most likely work at Uk Chandler medical center in Lexington Ky. Thank you in advance!
