Hey! I know I'm a little late to the thread but I've been reading your past posts and have a lot of similar questions as you did and was wondering if you could pass on some of the wisdom you've acquired as you've started your nursing career? I just graduated with my BSN and have a job lined up in the burn ICU at a hospital. I chose this unit because I've always LOVED Microbiology and thought it would be a good unit for that. I have been very interested in pursing a career thats focused in Microbiology but I, like you, am more interested in the research side of things. I've had a meeting with an ID NP and am going to shadow her and some docs on their Microbiology rounds, but I was interested in hearing about your journey in figuring out what sort of advanced career path you might take and how you ended up choosing to pursue CRNA? Any and all info/ insights are appreciated! Thank you for your time ?
