Well I'm not exactly looking for advice as much as looking to hear about your job. I am still up in the air as far as whether I'd like to become a CRNA or critical care NP. I have looked into both professions quite extensively as well as the training involved. I have also shadowed a CRNA at my hospital. I know that CRNA salary is generally higher than that of an NP but I would really hate for salary to be the deciding factor in which profession I choose since money doesn't mean squat if your miserable at work. What I'm looking for is any acute/critical care NP's who are willing to share info about your job such as what responsibilities you have, what hours you work, where you work, what you would change if you could, and if your willing to share info about pay. Maybe hearing from some more people who do the job for a living will help me out in making my decision. I am also putting a similar posting in the CRNA area. Thank you.
