I'm finishing high school & just have some concerns about becoming a CRNA. Please, I'm just in the research phase right now & you have to start some where. I've looked on here for answers & found SOME of what I need but not exactly what I wanted to know and I find it easier one on one asking. I know it's very dangerous, don't get me wrong about that but does the nervousness ever go away? Are you constantly paranoid you're going to kill or paralyze somebody? I know you're super busy but does the actual task of putting a needle in somebodies spine ever get easier and routine? Do you have any horror stories about being on the job or messing up? Like what are the chances of me screwing up atleast once or more my entire career? As far as SERIOUS screw ups go is what I mean. Last question... Do you need to get accepted to University or is it possible to do this from College and if so, is it the same? Same salary, same opportunities? I would really appreciate it if anybody experienced could give me some advice on all of this as I'm finding it tough to get certain answers Like when I ask how long it will take and some people say 3-4... then others say 3-4 after 6 years of doing "this" ....HOW LONG FROM START TO FINISH! Thank you very much for your time as well.
