90% Boredom, 10% Sheer Terror?

[SteveNNP, MSN, NP]

Hi all,

I am in the process of deciding if a NNP or a CRNA MAsters degree is right for me. I am interested in dealing with a diverse population, as I work in a level III NICU right now dealing with preemies. I talked with a CRNA while I was in school for my BSN, and she said that being a CRNA was 90% boredom and 10% sheer terror. Honestly though, am I going to be bored as a CRNA? I am one of those adrenaline junkies you hear about. When a baby's coding, I'm there....I can't stand it when I'm sitting on my thumbs doing nothing. So what's the average shift like for a CRNA? Also, any personal info on Columbia University's CRNA program would be appreciated...

Thanks!
