My First List

• Job shadow a nurse anesthetist. Nurse anesthesia programs stress that it's important to have a genuine interest in an anesthesia career. Programs suggest that prospective students shadow CRNAs before applying in order to see what the job is really like on a day-to-day basis.
• Best advice I can give you when you’re in high school is to do well in math and science (chemistry especially – statistics is really the only math class you need to do well in and you won’t take that till college). Once you’re in college, keep your GPA above a 3.0 and keep your science classes above a 3.0 as well. Ideally, you should maintain a GPA of 3.5 or higher.
