FREE! 8 Steps to Becoming a CRNA: https://www.cspaedu.com/3m9jgffp

Is CRNA similar to ICU nursing? Today we’re answering this common question to help you really understand the expectations of each, and help you make the best decisions for yourself and your career. 

In today’s episode, we highlight the biggest differences between the two, including-

• How to choose the best ICU experience for you (and not just choosing a placement that looks good on paper)
• The key differences between the two in terms of patient numbers, care, and pharmacology 
• The different ways you’ll be expected to assess, evaluate, and plan ahead as a CRNA vs. an ICU nurse 
• How to effectively communicate with your team in a highly independent CRNA position 

So grab a beverage, hit play, and let’s go! Happy listening!
