1. I chose this profession when I was in nursing school. I spent the summer in the operating room. The anesthetist was competent and her work fascinated me. 2.4 years to earn my bachelor of science then 27 months for my graduate degree. Now they will require 36 months to earn a Doctorate of Nursing Practice. 3. I worked as a registered nurse in several areas for eight years. You must include 1 year of some level of an intensive care unit experience to be a nurse anesthetist . 4. The time you spend in college will help you decide on a PhD career route. 5. Refer to answer 2 6. See the answer to question 3. 7. Yes I shadowed a nurse anesthetist aft the hospital I worked at. That is usually good to put on your application to go into anesthesia training. Have the person you shadow write about your day with them. 8. Yes usually professionals join their professional organizations. I belong to the American Association Nurse Anesthesiology 9.
