CRNA vs ACNP

Published

Has any other applicants to CRNA programs been torn between the two types of programs and roles?

I like the challenge of a CRNA program but wondering if I would miss the patient contact as a ICU NP.

Any thoughts?

There were several reasons for my choice, one being a huge pay differential. The second was I have no interest in seing someone forever for a hangnail. God love patients but there are times it hard for me to tolerate them for the assesment. I think just bite your tounge in 15 min asleep and silent.

I think job disatisfaction is related to autonomy,I have completer autonomy so I am pretty happy, I do not do well with authority, but that is my personality. Some are happy being tightly directed some need little direction so much depends on your temperment.

think hard and long and good luck.

LOL! I feel the same way sometimes. How long were you a nurse before becoming a CRNA?
