Wow! That is pretty insane. Not even close to the average 110 applicants I dug up.

Hi everyone! Would you all happen to know how many applicants get offered an interview? I dug up that about an average of 110 apply; but, not sure how many are invited to interview.

Is the trend changing because of the health reform? Or is it something inevitable that was going to happen? I do see a lot more CRNA's in our hospital and an outpatient facility where I PRN. Usually less than handful of anesthesiologist.

Yes, I have been a PICU nurse since 2011. That was my thought process as well; but, just want to make sure I weigh out options you know? Especially since its pretty much life changing decision and a huge commitment with either route.

Great to hear your feedback! Oh yeah definitely heard the "nurses don't need to be smart"... if only it was that easy to be a nurse. I am glad to hear your enjoying your practice and have no regrets.

Yes since 2011.

Hi everyone! I am finishing up Biochemistry this semester and am in the probably all too common debate of pursuing CRNA vs. MD. My hope is to get feedback from current CRNA's as far as work-life balance, job satisfaction, school experience etc. Do or have any of you possibly regretted not pursuing MD? I am aware this is a nursing forum and am not trying to cause any issues; so, if this is not allowed or will cause negativity to come about please delete or ignore my post. However, I am optimistic I can hear back from you all in hopes of helping me through my decision. Thank you in advance! :)
