Director's Message
------------------------------------------------------------
Hello UB Participants,

Now that the 23-24 Academic Year has begun, I'd like to take the time and welcome you to another year with UB. In our office August tends to be a gathering month where we close out the previous year and prepare for the new one. In the very near future (by that I mean two or three weeks), the UB staff will be sharing the various activities that will be planned during this upcoming year. Be on the lookout for a Senior Saturday Session by the end of September or early October. Soon after we'll host the first in-person Saturday Session for the year. Advising at the school sites should start mid-September.

For now, should you have a need to meet with our staff contact your AD or HSC directly and they'll be glad to set up an appointment. Remember that it's important to start the year off strong, build your foundation, and keep the momentum moving forward. If you've noticed that your falling behind, get organized and make adjustments now. The last thing you want is to play catch-up as the semester progresses.

Thank you again for your participation with UB.

Career of the Month: Nurse Anesthetist
------------------------------------------------------------

A nurse anesthetist (CRNA) works along with doctors, anesthesiologists, and surgeons to provide pain medication for patients before, during, and after surgery. The difference between a nurse anesthetist and an anesthesiologist is the amount of education required. As a CRNA, you are required at least one year of critical care experience and a master's degree, meanwhile, an anesthesiologist requires four years of medical school and years of residency. To become a CRNA you must first complete a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, pass the National Council Licensure Exam (NCLEX-RN) to obtain your RN License, complete a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists Program (CRNA) and finally pass the National Certification Examination for Nurse Anesthetists.

The main duties of a nurse anesthetist range from physically assessing and preoperative teaching patients, identifying risks to patient (including allergies and overdose), and administering precise dosages. This job also incudes administrative tasks such as financial management, risk management, department meetings and staff development. CRNA's typically working in hospital operating rooms, emergency rooms, intensive care unites, cardiac care, or outpatient surgical clinics. Given the intense work environment and amount of education needed to pursue this career, the median salary is $195,610. In Riverside, California, the average salary is $283,550 for a CRNA.
