Question about CRNA requirements

skipaway · Mar 18, 2005

I was just wondering..I'll be working while going through as a PCT in a icu. Does this count as the one year experience you need towards the admissions requirements.

You must have your RN and work as an RN in a acute care setting for it to count. So, if you are a student RN and PCT is what? Patient Care Tech? then no this does not count.

Okay. Thanks. Yes, I am a Patient CareTech. I figured that I would have to work in a acute setting as an RN for year as well, but I thought it would look even better if I had a year or two experience as tech. Thanks for responding...

Being a PCT for a couple of years would look good when you try for an ICU job, it has very little bearing on getting into anesthesia school. Good luck to you.
