<p>I wasnt asking for an explanation for myself - only pointing out that admissions officers will probably want one - just trying to be helpful so you come across the right way. To state on an undergrad app that you want to be a NA without a good reason could make you sound superficial. The desire to be present during surgeries is the key thing to mention. There are many nurse practioner fields where nurses assume the traditional roles of doctors so just saying that you first wanted to be a doctor doesnt cover the anesthetist part. Sounds like you have a real interest in the field - just urging you to convey it in a way that really reflects your passion…</p>
