aariwa: Nurse anesthetists administer anesthesia services in a wide range of health care facilities, from the hospital emergency room to the dentist's office. On the surface, the steps you need to take to learn how to become a nurse anesthetist would seem fairly self-evident: complete master's-level training in nurse anesthesia and pass a certification exam. Beyond those essential requirements, however, a few other steps are involved. Read on to learn the top 10 steps to take to become a nurse anesthetist. Programs and Education 1. Start with a bachelor's in nursing (BSN) and a registered nursing license (RN) . Many nurse anesthesia master's programs stipulate that applicants hold a BSN and an RN. With that in mind, nursing schools have devised RN-to-BSN programs for current RNs and "second degree bachelor's" programs for non- nursing students with a bachelor's in another field to help them earn a BSN at an accelerated pace. 2. Get experience. As an RN or BSN student, gear your hands-on practice toward acute care, which is usually the type of experience nurse anesthesia master's programs require. Add that to a year or so of experience after you graduate, and you are well on your way to entry in a nurse anesthesia master's program. 3. Take pride in working long hours. Nurse anesthetists start their work with a patient before the procedure ever begins, doing a preoperative screen to determine anesthesia needs. Of course, they observe patients throughout the course of recovery from anesthesia and must be ready to react and respond to ongoing patient needs. 4. Enjoy people. Although they do not see a regular set of patients for health care exams, nurse anesthetists still maintain direct contact with patients, often at some of the most critical times in their lives. The bedside manner, compassion and the sense of skill they render to patients can make a world of difference to surgical outcomes. 5. Feel comfortable around needles and machines. Anesthesia comes in several forms—some inhaled, some given through injection, some taken orally. Along with knowing your way around needles, part of learning how to become a nurse anesthetist means understanding the pharmacology and highly technical machinery used to monitor patients from the beginning of anesthesia administration through recovery. 6. Choose a nurse anesthetist school you like. It might have the best reputation in the history of academic nursing programs, but if the location is bad for you, the cost is too much or you simply don't feel right when you walk around campus, keep looking for another school to teach you how to become a nurse anesthetist. The school you choose should fit your professional interests and goals, not the other way around. 7. Complete your master's degree. It's obvious, but crucial— to become a nurse anesthetist, you must complete a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) degree program. Then you will have to pass a certification exam to call yourself a certified registered nurse anesthetist (CRNA). 8. Prepare to work alone. CRNAs can work in teams with an anesthesiologist but more often than not, you'll work as a sole anesthesia administrator. 9. Get used to opportunities. Advanced practice nurses such as CRNAs have the advantage of providing high quality, cost- effective care at hospitals and other health care facilities. After you learn how to become a nurse anesthetist, you will have to get used to seeing extraordinary job opportunities that suit your credentials just about everywhere you look. 10. Stop worrying about money. Of course, nurses choose their profession for far better reasons than money. But according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics 2016-17 Occupational Outlook Handbook, the median national annual salary for CRNAs is $153,780. Actual salaries may vary greatly based on specialization within the field, location, years of experience and a variety of other factors. National long-term projections of employment growth may not reflect local and/or short- term economic or job conditions, and do not guarantee actual job growth. Without a doubt, CRNAs belong to a profession that pays accordingly for the responsibility and expertise the job requires. 5 Likes |

johnkent:How rigorous is CRNA training in the USA? I am interested. I need a personal account of your work schedule, duties and responsibilities, independence and other important experiences. I have a bachelor's degree in nursing already sir. |
Re: Some Courses To Study In Nigeria Before Coming Over To America by lolawilliams(f): 6:27pm On May 14, 2016 |
Neyoalao:Nice decision dear. Cause science graduate are the most frustrated unemployed graduates in Nigeria. science courses dont sell well here, only professional courses and management and administrative courses do.. And I believe u also know that.. As for your gf, it will be better if she goes for her masters in the states and as for you, physics is a pre medical course, cause American medical schools require courses in chemistry (organic and inorganic), biology, physics, mathematics, and English (with some medical schools requiring other/ additional courses). Cause the way you typed your question, it looks like you wanna switch to a medical field.. So your bsc in physics is not stopping you frm entering the medical field. 1 Like |

Billyjim:Are u thinkin of bringing your cert to work in the states? If thats it, it can't work.. Only if you can boost it up with a master degree, and it must be done here in the states. As for the job, I dont know if you'll get a job but maybe if you can do your masters in either physics careers in healthcare or physics career in technology. You might have a 50/50 % of getting a job. |

Op wat about medical laboratory science....plus is it a nice course cuz i rarely hear pple talkin about it or even mentioning it |
Re: Some Courses To Study In Nigeria Before Coming Over To America by nelszx: 9:47am On Jun 10, 2016 |
CaraJewel: It depends on what you call a nice course. If you'd ask me it's super nice u tend to c whatever is happening to me human right in front of u. People hardly talk about them cos they are basically the "unsung heroes" cos they do the job backstage. The Dr takes the glory of these people cos they profer solutions to ones ailment. In the US it's even a doctorate degree (DCLS) though it's still relatively young as compared other health related courses but it has helped changed the face of medicine from guess work to evidence based |

Re: Some Courses To Study In Nigeria Before Coming Over To America by lolawilliams(f): 3:50pm On Jun 11, 2016 |
jeron1: she needs NCLEX cause the first step to practising as a nurse over there is to apply for a license with a state board of nursing and the NCLEX is required by al state of boards for licensure. The CGFNS exam is for people outside of usa who wish to access their chances of the usa registered nurse licensing exam which is the NCLEX so you can gey licensure to practice as a registered nurse in the states. so you see the CGFNS will be useless without taking the main exam NCLEX. So the answer to your question is NO, cause she wont get licensure to work anywhere with just CGFNS and eng proficiency test. |
Re: Some Courses To Study In Nigeria Before Coming Over To America by jeron1(m): 3:57pm On Jun 11, 2016 |
lolawilliams: thanks, do they write NCLEX exams in Nigeria? |
Re: Some Courses To Study In Nigeria Before Coming Over To America by lolawilliams(f): 4:11pm On Jun 11, 2016 |
