Okay. Hello everyone! I am currently a Junior in High School and I am torn between becoming a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist or a Physician-then-Surgeon (unsure of the specialty I would be interested in as of yet). I have a question concerning each. If you had to choose between them when deciding to go to Medical or Nursing school, which did you choose and why? Also, if I do go ahead and become the Physician-then-Surgeon, how much schooling would I honestly need to take if I wanted to drop down and become a Nurse afterward? I am so torn between them. =/ I enjoy the salary of both, so that's not really an object, and I know I have what it takes to become a Surgeon eventually, but the eleven at LEAST years of schooling is a bit of a killer. Thank you in advance!
