    From the time of the American Civil War until now, the specialized field of the nurse anesthetist has cared for people dealing with their most difficult healthcare issues. Around 150 years later, the specialty has grown from the first nurse to administer anesthesia to more than 44,000 across the country.

    Today, certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs) are the primary providers of anesthesia care in rural America like Michigan, enabling healthcare facilities in many underserved areas to offer obstetrical, surgical, pain management, and trauma stabilizing services. In many instances, CRNAs are the sole providers in nearly all rural hospitals.

    The advanced practice nursing specialty brings with it great responsibility and challenges but the rewards are high. Unlike other nursing fields, the anesthetist cares for only one patient at a time and can enjoy a satisfying sense of autonomy while they practice their skills. This high degree of independence is one of the most attractive reasons many people have made this type of career choice.
