I think if you are asking the question, you already know the answer. :) (Typical nurse). If your family is supportive (if there is one) then yes, probably. (yes I have been to your site, yes I LOVE your site!) You will be down and out a couple of years, and then bam! Right back into the lifestyle you can't afford! :)
(of course I aspire to be a CRNA one day, so I might be biased!)
Good luck with your decision

Hi all. I've been an RN for 24 damn years now, the past 20 in one ICU or another. I like the tech side of the ICU, I like PA lines and toys and drips and all that, and so CRNA sort of seems like the natural outgrowth of that. But do I really want to bust the domestic budget for two years while I go to school full time, just to spend my days in the OR with a bunch of surgeons? I just dunno. Any relevant commentary from the group? Thanks in advance.
