Hi All, If you are seriously thinking about entering the humbling world of nurse anesthesia education, there's something that you should read. A couple of senior nurse anesthesia students have designed a web site for SRNA's as part of their capstone project. The address is - http://www.srnas.com Click on "Expert's Corner" and read the commentary by Dr. Haas. This man has a wealth of experience as both an educator and anesthetist, and he gives it to you straight in a concise, though extremely informative manner. Do yourself a favor - If you're thinking about getting into a program (I'm in my first semester), then do read Dr. Haas' words. He speaks the truth. While you are there, do these guys a favor and log in and do a posting or two on their discussion boards. You don't have to set up camp there - just help them out. Peer support is a large part of anesthesia education, and we should support their project as we would like to be supported when is is our turn to complete a thesis or capstone. There you have it. My only advice from the first semester point of view - get your affairs in order EARLY at home. Remember - Life doesn't stop when you enter anesthesia school - it INTENSIFIES. Good Luck to all! DB
