Hi everyone. I have been reading this site for months now -- I work in the IT field, because I've always had a nack with computers, and am pretty smart, and taught myself all of this networking stuff. Well, in case you didn't know, the IT field is dying, and not to mention, not having an IT degree hurts me in a lot of ways. So, I'm going back to what I went to college for in the fist place -- Health Care. I'm probably too old to be a doctor now (I'm 31 - it would be probably 2 years until I get in, then 7 years of working until I can start earning -- not to mention the incredible amount of student loans I'd have to pay back.) So, then I thought about nursing -- I really liked the idea of CRNA. But then again, I already have a BS, and why would I want to get another BS(N), then spend time in the ICU, then 3 more years of CRNA school... I really like the idea of AA. Although there are only 2 schools in the US at the moment, I think this has a great chance of catching on, just like PA's have. So, this is what I'm going to do -- it make more sense in my situation. -cosmid:chuckle
