If you’re a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) looking to combine continuing education (CE) credits with a dream vacation, a Disney Cruise continuing education seminar is the perfect way to do it. One of the highlights of these sailings is Castaway Cay, Disney’s private island in the Bahamas.
This tropical paradise offers the perfect mix of relaxation, adventure, and Disney magic—ideal for CRNAs interested in earning CEUs while traveling. Here’s how to make the most of your time on Castaway Cay.
