Beginning the Journey

My name is Chad. I have decided to become a Nurse Anesthetist and want to capture my journey from an unemployed literature major taking nursing prerequisites at a local community college to becoming a fully certified Nurse Anesthetist.

My decision to become a CRNA has now come about easily for me and a number of dreams had to be put on the back burner. But I feel confident that this is a good choice and will continue to move forward as long as it is good for me.

I am becoming a CRNA for these reasons:

1. Job Stability
2. Flexibility in where I can work
3. Being able to help people and see a direct result
4. Working with MSF Doctors Without Borders
5. Travel Nursing

I am beginning my prerequisites for an accelerated BSN program this semester beginning January 25th after being out of college for about 4 years. I am taking:

• Nutrition
• Statistics
• Human Growth and Development
• Anatomy and Physiology 1

And wondering if I should take more on the first semester.
