The familiar saying of "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger" highlights well the experiences author Ruby Gardiner had on her journey to becoming a certified registered nurse anesthetist (CRNA).In her new autobiography, Greatness is in You: Testimonials of a Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist, Ruby shares how her witnessing a CRNA intubating to save a person's life inspired her to become a CRNA.However, the road to becoming a nurse anesthetist wasn't an easy one. Considered one of the toughest programs to graduate from, Ruby believed this was where God was leading her and would provide the way for her to get there.Then, one of the darkest times in her life happened: After qualifying and gaining admission into the program and moving to Maine to attend school. She later learned she had been dismissed from the nurse anesthesia program. At the same time, she also learns about her husband's marital infidelity.As she grappled with the reality of the situation, and endured a nasty divorce, Ruby wondered what her next steps would be.But when God spoke to her in a still, small voice to encourage her to continue her pursuit to becoming a nurse anesthetist she did. He reassured her He would open the door for her to attend again. It looked impossible but Ruby decided to trust and lean on God.With very few books sharing an inside glimpse into this intense, yet rewarding program, Ruby hopes Greatness is in You will motivate, encourage and inspire those interested in the nurse anesthesia profession to not let fear deter them. If God has called you to something, wouldn't you trust Him and let Him lead you?
