No Rest is Worth Anything, Except The Rest That Is Earned
"Who Am I" ∞
Many things can describe a person but im not one of those things, Yes i have many skills, values, self-esteem, and learning styles, but not only one word can describe me. One of my many skills is doing arts and crafts, i love to do art on my free time. Another skill would be sports, im good at certain sports that i like. My values now thats a another topic, I value cross country, My family, food, religious services, and clothes, just a few things that are absoloutly important to me. My self-esteem is mostly high, I'm my very own individual and always confident i can accomplish task after task. Finally my learning style, i have a very different learning style, i like to do things like projects or anything that involves with making things or putting together a presentation, i love learning that is fun! Overall if i had to use one word to describe myself it would be Outgoing. I believe all of these things should be considered when finding a career because it helps the interviewer find out what kind of person you are, it also helps them decide if they want a person like you at their buisness.

MY CAREER AS A NURSE ANESTHETIST & JOB DESCRIPTION
A CRNA is a registered nurse and advanced practice nurse who works in collaboration with anesthesiologists, surgeons and other physicians and medical professionals to deliver anesthesia for medical and surgical procedures.
CLUSTER & MEDIAN SALARY & JOB OUTLOOK & EVIRONMENT
This job has a Median Pay of 156,000 dollars, and the Top Pay is considered to be 206,000 dollars.
The prospects for finding a good job in this field are excellent for the foreseeable future: According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, there is a significant and growing need for CRNAs across the country.
CRNAs practice in almost every health care setting where anesthesia is needed, including hospitals, outpatient surgery centers and government and public health facilities. They can also be found in the offices of surgeons, dentists, ophthalmologists, palliative care specialists and podiatrists.
Depending on state law, nurse anesthetists either work independently or within a collaborative team of health care professionals. According to the American Association of Anesthetist, (AANA), they are the only anesthesia professionals working in over 60% of rural hospitals and the primary anesthesia providers for members of the U.S. armed forces and pregnant women.
WORK SCHEDULE & FACTS
Nurse anesthetist that work at a hospital may end up working 8 hour shifts, 10 hour shifts, 12 hour shifts , 16 hour shifts or 24 hour shifts depending on the needs of the hospital and the agreements they have made with their employer.
Since hospitals are open 24 /7 nurse anesthetist may work any time of the day or night and can end up working 40 – 50 hours or more per week.
Nurses that work shorter shifts (around 8 – 12 hours a day) may an average of 4 – 5 days per week, while anesthetist that work longer shifts such a 24 hour rotation shift may only work 2 – 3 days per week.
Because most surgeries are performed in the daytime, CRNAs generally work regular business hours. However, they often spend nights, weekends and holidays on call and can be summoned at any time in the event of an emergency.
Something interesting about this job, I think, is that there are all different kinds of flavors of gas to take before surgery.
"How Do I Get There"
I chose this college because i have always wanted to live in Texas, it is beautiful, and they have great education programs, every college will have the type of education i need for my career, The University of Texas is also considered the center of Health Science. But other that the education Texas is also just one of my favorite's. This college is fairly far away from where i'm living now.
The requirements for becoming a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) mainly include having a bachelor's degree in nursing (or other appropriate baccalaureate degree), Registered Nurse license, a minimum of one year acute care experience (for example, ICU or ER), and the successful completion of both an accredited nurse anesthesia educational program and the national certification examination.
For Texas residents the cost per hour is 216 dollars.
A couple of degrees I am hoping to accomplish are a bachelors, masters, or even doctorate degree.
