They are educated for 1 year with clinicals and book learning, then "sit" for an exam. They *can* do everything a PCA, an NA, and a CNA does, but an LPN also administers SubQ injections, passes oral medications, takes vitals, and reports to the R.N. In the 1980s and 1990s, many USA hospitals tried to eliminate all NAs so the hospital could pay one pay rate and benefits (if any) for 1 person to do everything from personal care to medication passes. At the same time, many of these hospitals only wanted a B.S.N.-- a nurse who graduated with a Bachelors in Nursing. Hospitals used L.P.N.s for all the back-breaking work while (many) B.S.N.s did desk duty with charting and paperwork.

As statistics show, there has already been an increase in the cost of health care partially due to the shortage in health care practitioners and the need to offer higher reimbursement for treatments. If predictions are true, and there is a shortage of 125,000 physicians by the year 2025, the cost of health care will increase more rapidly. Because health care and therefore an individual’s life is considered priceless, there are demand shifters that often affect the demand curve of a health care product. As demonstrated in the example above, physician loyalties and experience are just two of the many types of demand shifters. This demand shifters can cause an even steeper rise in health care cost in the real world.
However, once a student graduates nursing school as a registered nurse, “at least one year of critical care experience” is required before advancing to a master’s program, says Shirley Sopko, a nurse anesthetist of eleven years. In addition to work experience, a person interested in becoming a nurse anesthetist must take one of two tests: “the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) [with a score of] 850 or higher or the Miller Analogies Test (MAT) [with a score of] 386 or higher” within five years before applying to graduate school (MSN). Acceptance into the anesthesia program also depends on if the student had a GPA of at least a 3.0 during nursing school (Nurse Anesthesia). Once a student is successfully enrolled into the anesthesia program, which has a “typical length of…around 28 months”, a student will spend at least 400 hours providing anesthesia “to patients undergoing various types of surgery” (Sopko; Shurr). Students must also complete a minimum of 200 hours in the classroom learning the ins-and-outs of anesthesia and its administration, how the body will react to the anesthesia, and the pharmacology of anesthesia (Shurr).
