Hey All, I have been looking into a career track to getting my CRNA. I've been a nurse for 5 years now and worked in many different settings. Currently in critical care. I have always had an interest in airway management and really enjoy the art of sedation. When I was younger I almost enlisted in the military for multiple personal reasons and now that I am considering a track into grad school I am once again reconsidering enlistment as an officer. I was wondering if any current or previous servicemen or servicewomen would be willing to speak with me a little bit about their experience and some of the benefits vs the drawbacks of pursuing a career as a CRNA in the military either by reply or personal message. Any information is greatly appreciated! Thank you for reading.

Just my 2 cents: 1. before uncapping the syringetwist the needle to make sure it is tightly secured (then uncap) 2. insert the syringe directly into the center of the ampoule turning the ampoule upside down once inserted hold the needle and ampule with one hand wrapping the pinky andring finger around the syringe and the thumb and index holding the ampoule. 3.use the nondominant hand to draw up the solution at eye level 4. withdraw the the syringe and flick to remove any air bubbles 5. push the plunger up to remove any excess air and for an exact reading (all at eye level) 6. hopefully the cap is on a countertop.... place the syringe in the cap on the table (scooping) up the cap and then press the cap firmly Hope this helps

21 now and entering my junior year as for the past comment on whether the increase in "little old ladies retiring" will cause for an increase in nursing grads.. i sadly think that is a no only because it is difficult to find teachers which creates the small and competative nursing programs so unless something changes in the edu system i see no real growth in nursing grads which will leave a higher patient-nurse ratio with the baby boomers and also the rapid retirement of those baby boomer nurses I accept the challenge!
