I was reading your posting in regards to you being in NP school. Did you finish? I currently am in NP school and have had CRNA school in the back of my mind. I have less than 1 year of NP school left. I need guidance. Thank you for your time.

But how often are these stressful moments?

Is this career a stressful one? How often to problems occur. The anesthesiologist at my work says the career is not stressful only when you have a problem. He says if a problem arises that an anesthesiologist can be paged.

I am a recent BSN new grad and have only worked for 8 months. I am considering pursing my master's this coming spring. I am weary about asking my manager for a recommendation letter. I fear he will regret hiring me because I want to further my education and that I will eventually leave. I feel that I may be treated differently from management as well my co-workers. I currently work 36 hours and plan to decrease my hours to at least 24 hours once I start the program. Regardless I have to tell my manager I am in the program because he will want to know why I need to decrease my hours and have a set schedule. Or should I even tell anyone at work. I would appreciate any advice you have.

I am a new grad working in the ICU and aspired to pursue CRNA but I am concerned about the stress. I am under the assumption that there is a lot of stress and I am leaning more towards NP. How stressful is a CRNA job?

I have tried PICU. I enjoyed the preceptorship. I need to try Adult ICU before I can make that decision. Thanks!

How did you know whether or not you liked Adult ICU or peds ICU?

It's such a great site. How do you like sicu?
