I've been a BSN for awhile but I haven't worked in an ICU yet (though I am applying for positions)so this is putting the cart before the horse...but, are there SRNAs out there with families and mortgages while they are going to school? How in the world can you take out enough loans to live on and pay for school? This is the biggest obstacle I can see. I have 5 children and a stay-at-home spouse.
Also, I'm sure for many going to anesthetist school requires uprooting the gang and moving to a rental house. I just don't see how a person saddled with a lot of family and financial responsibilities could do it. I have a supportive family and the determination but I'm not sure that will be enough.
I've got the hair up my rear, though, and I'm really stewing over a way I can make it work. I can almost taste the excitement, but I'm worried about how I can make it work.
