Just wondering if any of you NP's ever considered nurse anesthesia and why you may have chosen the NP field. I would like to hear some of your positive feedback from being an NP. It is no secret that CRNA's make more money but one of my fears is the high level of stress and the limited pt contact as compared to an NP. Did any of you ever face a dilemma choosing between CRNA school or NP school?
As a full time agency nurse I have made 75k for last three years, no benefits of course but a lot of flexibility. Some concerns I have for the NP field is lack of flexibility.
Part of me thinks it would be exciting to work in the OR and part of me wants to also help the community. I speak spanish fluently so I think that this would be a big asset as an NP. I would appreciate any feedback. I appreciate the posts on this forum, however, some have been not so positive about the NP profession. i.e salary, available jobs,etc.
