desperately needed someones help

[babyromo06]

im here because i recently started working as a RNBSN and i want to make more money..i hear how you can go on to CRNA as long as your a RNBSN and i cant go on to do that but i was wondering what else can you go on to with a RNBSN.. i want to make at least a 100,000 a year what medical jobs make that much? that can extend there education from RNBSN and i mean like u have to be a RNBSN to be a CRNA. and you go 2 years for anthesia and your a CRNA. but what else can you do? please help me im a new kid in this whole medical enviorment..thanks!

Well it sounds as if money is the main issue here...Is there a certain reason you want to make at least $100,000 per year other than just "wanting it"? Travel nursing includes bonuses which I am sure can add up...but some places that offer a lot of money may not be worth it due to crappy staffing and administration.

Are you sure you are an RN, BSN??? Or are you interested in becoming a nurse? I would strongly suggest entering the profession for reasons other than solely money! Becoming a nurse anesthetist takes a lot of time, work, and energy. Not only do you have to have a BSN to get accepted into an anesthesia program, but you will also need to have some considerable experience working as an RN (at least one year, if not two) in a critical care environment where you are managing invasive hemodynamic monitoring, advanced airways/ventilators, vasoactive gtts, etc. and not to mention a masters program will want to see in its applicants a motivator other than money for becoming a CRNA..

P.S.... if your only looking to make money in the "medical profession" (say more than $100,000/yr.) and you don't want to become a CRNA, I would suggest going ahead and getting yourself an education... in Medicine :) With your "RNBSN" you can go right ahead and apply to school! Good Luck!

my thoughts exactly. i was wondering if you are an rn or seeking your degree. if you are "new to the field of medicine", then it makes one wonder if you are a nurse. the reason being, if you were already an rn, you would know that this level alone does not make anywhere close to what you desire. now, as bandersonrn stated, crna is much more than bsn and 2 years later you are crna.

you need to do some research on what potential salaries are for bsn nurses as well as crna, nurse practitioner, nurse midwives, clinical nurse specialists...even legal nurse consulting. the potential is far greater than 100 k with these advanced levels of nursing.

good luck in your quest!!!!
