Equine Anesthesia
Hello all, I am a current nursing student in the US and have some curiosities about veterinary anesthesia. My current career plan is to become a CRNA, but I also am a horse person and have always been interested in the veterinary side of things.
Other than obvious things like prerequisites for vet school, what should I know about the path to equine anesthesia? Is it realistic to hope to focus on equine or large animal anesthesia?
What is the typical work life/salary situation?
For context, I chose CRNA because it combines my love for medicine with the ability to have a great work life balance and income to spend plenty of time on my horse farm with family. But I can’t help but wonder if i’d be a little more satisfied doing the veterinary anesthesia thing.
I’d love to hear from anyone who has answers!
Thanks!
