I am really impressed and have enjoyed this personal perspective into the field that I haven't found on other NA websites including the AANA. Reading through this blog has been a real treat and I consider it half pleasure reading and half personal research into a field that I have increasing interest in. When I was a nursing student, I must admit that I found the profession to be boring and full of magazine reading. Now as a nurse working in a neurosurgical-surgical-trauma ICU, I admit that I had no idea of the awesome responsibility and greatly expanded knowledge base of the CRNA. Gaining experience with mechanically ventilated patients receiving anesthetic and analgesic drips, I am beginning to realize just how little I know and how much more I want to know about anesthesia. This once seemingly "boring" profession is starting to become so very interesting to me as I read websites such as this and as I care for post-surgical ventilated and sedated patients. I also enjoy picking the brains of the anesthesia residents as they do rotations on our unit and find them to be quite knowledgeable. I apologize for the long personal story, but I just wanted to say thank you for the great insight of all those who have contributed to this site from every step of the journey. David, I must congratulate you on your hard earned achievements! Reading through the older blogs gives us an idea of how strenuous this journey really is. The great tips on applying to CRNA school and surviving once your in...have been helpful to many I'm sure. Finally, living so close to USC in neighboring San Bernardino county I can't help but inquire if you or your colleagues would be interested in taking on yet another "shadow." Please e-mail me when you find some free time. Thanks again. Wes Hello Everyone,

Now I feel that same way about applying to Nurse anesthesia school. There is a fire in my belly- It's that same excitement I had wanting to work in the SICU at LA county. Jerry Hi
