This is what I have so far in my paper:
Nurses are the heartbeat of the health care industry. They tend to a patient every need at the bedside, collaborate with other healthcare professionals, and communicate important information with patients’ and their families. With the nursing field constantly evolving, there’s a huge variety of different types of specialties to choose from and several career paths to go down. With this paper, you’ll have the opportunity to learn about one of these types of nursing jobs.
Out of the several nurse specialties that exist, becoming a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist has the most appeal. For a long time, working close to a surgeon in the operating rooms has always been a dream. Not only are you able to work with and help people, but you’re fortunate to focus on one patient at a time, prepare them, and keep them safe during surgery.
