As a freshman in college, there are many different majors and careers I could choose from. I, however, have chosen the medical field. More specifically, I would love to become a surgeon. My goal to become a surgeon started after I job shadowed a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA). A nurse anesthetist is similar to an anesthesiologist but goes to school for less years and also gets paid less. I wanted to learn more about what the CRNA does so my plan was to follow a CRNA for the day. I got to witness a total of five different surgeries in a matter of six hours.
While spectating the surgeries, I caught myself watching the surgeons and not the CRNA. I watched very closely to see how they moved their hands and how they operated so smoothy. Then it hit me; I knew that the surgeries are what I want to do and it was my goal to become a surgeon. I learned that my career is not meant to stand in a surgery room watching the patient's vitals and making sure they stay asleep, but it is to help the patients being operated on and save many lives.
