What does a CRNA do?
Hello! I am a rising junior in high school, and am very interested in going into the medical field. However, I am not sure what I want to be. Currently I am looking into CRNAs. I had surgery 6 months ago for my ACL, and the CRNA that worked with me was very kind and comforting. She has inspired me! #medicine #college #healthcare #doctor #medical #CRNA

Hi Athena, I work at Medtronic and would offer that there are many other ways to work in the medical device field as well. I didn't plan to end up in the medical field but have now worked at 2 Medical Device companies and love the mission and that my work directly helps people. Such a rewarding experience, good luck!
Thank you for your response! I will look into it.

CRNA (Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists) are responsible for administering anesthesia to patients. These healthcare professionals work independently, regularly serving as the sole anesthetist within a medical practice or healthcare facility. In fact, the advanced training required puts nurse anesthetists on a level similar to physicians, making this specialty quite unique among other nursing careers.
