Thank you all. After discussing this concern to my ICU buddy earlier today, I think its best I consider doing NP instead of CRNA. I do not miss ICU and do not wish to jeopardize my health in order to go back for a master's degree.

Thanks Anurseuk for your vote of confidence and support. You're right 4 mos. is not long...guess i'm anxious and frustrated that I haven't had any really complex cases yet. On my days off, I spend time researching things I need more understanding o...
Its a 20 bed unit. Once in awhile I hang vasopressors, work with orally intubated patients. They use us as an overflow unit, so we get pts. of all kinds including resp,medical, surgical. Once in awhile I get a true cardiac case.
