hehe

went with the fold up option, a little more out of the social security check, but it was worth it!

Re: CRNA or Medical School

It sounds like you have a big decision to make. I have some repetative advice that others have stated. I think that it is very important for you to shadow CRNAs & also physicians. I am not sure what kind of specialty you are looking into but I will put this bug out there. In my area of PA, the CRNAs make the same (or more) money than the family physicians in the area. If you are that close to completing your BSN, it sounds like you are already leaning toward a future in nursing. CRNA is an advanced practice and definitely a step up, not a lateral move as some have tried to tell you. It is important to know if you are willing to move or are staying put because independence & job availability will vary. Do your research and compare all aspects: hours, pay, education, available jobs, call time, assistance with school, and what is it that makes you the happiest.
Good luck
