Should I become a CRNA or not?

Specialties CRNA

I'm pursuing the CRNA path and have interviews scheduled. I'm getting cold feet and wondering if the aditional years of schooling is worth the time and money. I'm 43 and three years into a new career in nursing and just not quite sure if I'm ready for the next phase which is the CRNA. Could anyone bring some insight to confirm my direction. Thanks!

After my day in the OR I'm a lot more sure I want to do it. I thought I'd be bored stiff since we had two very stable patients, but between watching the surgery, chatting with the CRNA and asking questions about the anesthesia, I had a great day.

The CRNA told me to stop asking the surgeons so many questions though. Oops. :rolleyes: Guess I was a little to eager to learn.
