are very detail oriented), and caring for everyone.

greatest decisions I have made in my life. The profession is fascinating and rewarding. I
go to work everyday loving my job! I get to care for people and perform some of the most
extraordinary tasks every day! If you are interested in the profession, then I would
shadow a CRNA to see if it is something that may fascinate you as well!
