What's going to keep you motivated????

Specialties CRNA

Published

I start CRNA school this August at ODU and I know it's going to be all that everyone says and more, but what is the one thing that will keep you motivated when the going gets tougher than tough. I have a pitcure of a nice big house that I want with the mega master bedroom and bath, the big body benz...and vacations in the carribean, and college fund for my kids, shopping, shopping, and shopping....you all get the pitcure right? Oh yeah, and autonomy and no more but wiping or denture cleaning! What's the one thing for you that will make it all worth it?:roll

"Big body Benz", "mega master bedroom"? You must be from the hood or someone of color. Relax, I'm a minority too, and I recognize that type of thinking, not to mention the vernacular. You shouldn't choose a profession based on monitary rewards. Especially one in which you could cost someone their life. The life you describe is one similar to celebs, and I can't imagine the fustration you'll feel if you find out you can't live like P Diddy. I try to tell the young people in my neighborhood it's important to have aspirations based on realistic expectations. Sorry if I offended you.

Let me guess London..um you're not a minority, so I wouldn't expect you to understand how ignorant thinking can hold a culture back. I do however respect your post via exclamation mark. After all, it is a free country where we can voice our opinion...humm, I thought that's what I was doing in the first place. P.S., feel free to have the last word, as I feel I've stated my argument without enimty.

So now you think you know wether or not I am a minority? Just look at the assumptions you continue to make! I am not going to respond any further however I will agree with you that this is a free country and that you can feel free to humiliate yourself and the so called "minority" group that you believe you are relating to. Just remember that minorities are not just in the "hood".

30andconfused, I am a woman of color and I was offended by what you wrote. It is a shame that you, as a minority, would make generalizations about an entire race, especially against your own race if in fact you are a person of color.:o

The thing that is keeping me motivated during my time in anesthesia school is the fact that I am blessed to have been given this wonderful oppotunity to pursue my dream of becoming a CRNA. It has been very challenging, but keeping this in mind helps me to continue working hard and doing what is necessary to be successful. :)

hey - i too started this semester and with final less than 2 weeks away i can say the motivation really kicked in once the clinical rotation began. there is NOTHING like sitting @ the head of the table bringing a person to the edge of life sustaining them there, then bringing them back to baseline.

it's the ultimate in micromanaging a patient. i loved being a nurse, i Really love being a SRNA - there is no other job - its the tits!

Oh Gawd! Thats such BS! Why dont you become a cop or a peace core volunteer if you want a "wonderful opportunity?" Its so funny that your "blessing" and your "dream" includes making 160k+ a year. You guys kill me...:roll

first of all - most CRNA's don't make 160+ per year...we do make good money - but the responsibility we carry far outweighs the money we are paid. don't really know about you but i have been a nurse for years - was paid very very very well - but grew to hate my job. i will honestly tell you that i would be a CRNA for regular nurse pay - it is that great... so before you spout off what you think other's motives are ... you might want consider that you are talking to people who have dedicated their life to other people and taking care of them...and most of us have done it for years upon years without making 160+ per year...

now...does anyone have any intelligent offerings?

If you look at this person's postings in the past, they are mostly about finances and how much people make. Don't feed the trolls.
