They administer every type of anesthesia, work in every type of practice setting, and provide care for every type of operation or procedure – from open-heart surgery to pain management programs. Nurse anesthetists have been providing anesthesia in the U.S. for over 125 years, beginning with the care of wounded soldiers during the Civil War. In this paper I will be addressing three main points about nurse anesthetists. ("Explore Health Careers.") What and how much schooling is needed, the three different procedures of anesthesia and how they are delivered, and how much power and money they get and the different ways to increase their salary.
There are three different components of schooling for nurse anesthetists. The first part is becoming a registered nurse, which takes four years to accomplish. The second is doing a one-year internship in the operating room. The last and final part of schooling that Nurse Anesthetists need is anesthesiology school that can last from...

Behavioral Genetic Determinism: Do Genes Equal Behavior? Human behavior is a loosely defined foundation for individuality, generally considered to be influenced and developed by the environment. However, recent molecular studies have exposed genetic factors that suggest a more biological origin for behavior. Gene segments in the genome of humans and other animals have been identified and associated with particular behavioral traits. Is it possible that the presence or absence of even a single
