Not true. Depending what school you completed your MSN, CRNA in NY you can apply to NY education department to have your MSN CRNA converted to include acute care NP privilege. This has something to do with NY SUNY. I did this and with affidavit from my SUNY university where I earned my MSN CRNA it was no problem at all. :-)
Hey there. I, too, have been a CRNA for 5 years, I don't like it either. I actually kindof miss the ICU. It feels isolated in the OR. Hours of monotony, punctuated by moments of activity. Student loan debt keeps me from considering a career move in the near future :-/
