My name is Caitlin Ritchey. I have enjoyed reading your posts. I am interested in the Nurse Anesthetist profession. I have contacted a few different sources including a medical college, a few hospitals, and an anesthesia group to find information on how I could job shadow a nurse anesthetist. They all told me they couldn't help me with it. Do you know of any nationwide programs or services that would allow me to shadow? I would appreciate any help. Thanks. Hi! My name is Caitlin Ritchey.

Im very excited to find this site. My name is Chona and I'm in the hiring process right now for LAC+USC and will eventually start at MICU. I have research a few sites about Nurse Anesthetist programs and i get cold hands by the excitement that it makes me feel! I wanted to ask you a lot of things! And given that you will notice this message of mine THANK YOU IN ADVANCE! Hopefully I will hear from you soon. A simple background of myself, I graduated 2006 with my BSN from the PHilippines, just got here March of this year, passed my NCLEX-RNthis October 28, 2008. I know that i have a long way to go but i wanted to do it the right way. I know that i need at least a year of experience in ICU but i think i will get more than that and to save money at the same time. I have bumped into few SRNA and CRNA who have their nursing degree from a foreign county and it seems like its harder for them. I come to a point of thinking on entering into an NP or CNS program first, then apply to CRNA so just to make my transcripts or "me as a whole" a desirable candidate. I dont have a great GPA just 3.28 i have it translated to US GPA. And I would love to enter USC too if given a chance. I talked to one of the admission personnel in there and she said that i can contact the program director and shadow a CRNA. But i felt like i wanted to have all my credentials readied like pre-reqs sciences which btw i already have it allbut i wanted to retake them here , experience, gre, certifications etc. Sorry this turned out to be a long post , i just felt so excited that right now i guess my mind is running around thinking on how to do the right thing so i can get in to the program someday. Thank you for your patience reading this and hope to hear from you soon. --Chona Hi David! Im very excited to find this site.
