I have not started nursing school....yet. I still am undecided whether or not I want to be a CRNA or MD. I've always wanted to do anesthesia, for as long as I can remember. Part of me wants to be a CRNA, but the other part wants to be a MD. I think i'd be happy being either. If I did go to med school i'd probably not do anesthesia, although I can't say for sure. I believe i'd like to get into Cardiothoracic or Transplant surgery. I have thought about doing this: Going through Nursing school, and while going take the prereqs for med school also, apply for med school after MCAT. And when the time comes to be able to apply to anesthesia school apply, and try to get it to one of them. What does this sound like? I know it probably sounds like a "What-if" situation, but it's not! Please tell me your thoughts on this and if you had trouble deciding CRNA or MD.
Thanks,
Brett
