Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is to not stop questioning.

watchfull care: a history of America's nurse Anesthetist

"WATCH FULL CARE: A HISTORY OF AMERICA'S NURSE ANESTHETISTS" by Marinanne Bankert

I would definitely recommend this book to anyone in CRNA school, or anyone thinking about going to CRNA school and our physician counterparts as well.
Basically, it goes over the field of anesthesia from infancy to the turn of the century. From doctors seeking competent staff who would devote their attention to the patient instead of novice residents who were more concerned with what the surgeon was doing, then paying attention to the anesthetize patient. To building formal nurse anesthesia programs, to seeking accreditation, and maintaining the viability of the profession.

Read it in about 3 days. Would of taken less time, but was a little distracted. Check it out. For those going to your CRNA interview, it might come in handy.

Peace out, Y'all

  1. I really feel your pain and frustration with school. With hard work and dedication you will become something that you have always wanted to be and that's very special...I salute you and I appreciate people like you for striving for a better life and never give up. Keep doing what you are doing and stay focused & be strong. You are in the right path to accomplish your goals. Twenty years from now you will not be disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor, catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore, Dream, Discover. " Good luck with school and may GOD blessed your heart...Mr Colorado...
