This book gives readers, especially those who might not have direct access to someone in the field, an introduction to the medical profession from 3000 feet. It provides a no-frills overview and outlines the steps needed to get from Point A to Point B—from curiosity to certification. It also dispels myths about and gives insight into the reality of the profession, with tips for success along the way. All while painting a picture of a typical workday for a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA).
