Wow......

No attempt at accuracy, for CRNA's or other advance practice nurses. I hope others will email them as quickly as possible to correct the site info.

Per
http://www.collegeboard.com/csearch/majors_careers/profiles/majors/51.1604.html,
the College Board states:

"Major:
Nurse Anesthetist

This program is for registered nurses (RNs) who want to specialize in giving anesthesia and caring for patients before, during, and after anesthesia. They study biochemistry, physics, anatomy, and physiology. They also learn about medications, pain management, emergency procedures, legal issues, and more."

Much better. Albeit a simplistic description, it is certainly an improvement from the aforementioned.
