14. CRNA To MD

    PilotJim68 replied to rigor0313's topic in CRNA

    This thread kinda reminds me of the old "I just want to get my CNA or LPN to see if I like it, then I will get my R.N. and then BSN and eventually my ARNP." Why not just go straight for the R.N. from the get go? Sounds like a similar mind set to me...
