Good work! Please do consider advancing your education. Nursing needs more leaders. There are many distance ed opportunities for nursing graduate ed. You will find that Regents/Excelsior graduates are uniquely positioned for leadership position due their proven ability to operate under the most intense situations and shine. A graduate education, coupled with your Excelsior experience will position you for a world of opportunities as a major player in nursing.

Good for you. CRNA's are definitely the jet fighter pilots of nursing. I'm curious does your service do ALS/critical care transports too? If you do critical care transports as an RN on the rigs, won't that meet the experience required by CRNA program for critical care exp? If so, by the time you have your BSN, you'd be ready to apply for CRNA school without having to upheave your life too much. Just a thought.
