Strengthen Your Skills as a CRNA in Army Medicine
If you are looking to pursue a career in nursing that combines science with patient care, being a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) and Officer in the U.S. Army Nurse Corps offers both, and much more. As a member of the Army health care team, you will provide specialized care to patients requiring general anesthesia, respiratory care, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and fluid therapy. You will be making a difference in the health of servicemembers, retirees, and their families.
Whether you choose the Active Duty path or the Army Reserve, you will work alongside professionals at the top of their fields while helping expand the boundaries of medicine. Reserve members can continue to work in their community and serve when called upon.
