I am currently a nurse in the Neuro ICU, trying to decide what between becoming a CRNA and an Acute Care NP in the ICU. I am very much interested in both. As crazy as this sounds, I am actually considering getting my Masters for ACNP then getting a post masters for CRNA. Is this is waste of time or would I actually be able to use both degrees, doing part of the month in the OR and part of the month in the ICU? The hospital I currently work for would help me pay for the ACNP degree, which would help. I would like to try to make a decision so I can apply to start school in Fall 2011, thus I would need to start applying and getting everthing in order. I appreciate any feedback and words of wisdom! Thanks!!!!
