- Abstract
Countrywide it has been established that there is a major shortage of Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists, which is compounded by a relatively high attrition rate of student nurse anesthetists. A major factor found to influence the attrition rate of student nurse anesthetists has been the failure to be properly socialized into the profession. The purpose of this study was to identify patterns of socialization among graduate students of nurse anesthesia. Specifically, the aims were to identify periods within the professional socialization process where students may be at an increased risk for attrition. Overall, the study found that there is an identifiable time period (12-18 months of enrollment) where students are most vulnerable to attrition.
