Interview Experienced CRNA

[wlow96]

Hello. I started CRNA school this Fall. We need to interview 3 CRNAs (with 10 preset questions) as an assignment. However, we do not start OR rotations until January. Are any of you CRNAs out there willing to answer a few questions for me?

If so, I can PM you the questions. I would really appreciate it.

What is your favorite PONV cocktail?
