Why did you become a CRNA?

I am doing some research on CRNAs (maybe something I want to do in my future), and I was wondering why some of you decided to become a CRNA. I currently work as an RN in a PICU, but don't think it's something I want to do forever. Just curious to know what brought you to be a nurse anesthetist. Thanks!:)

I became a CRNA because I wanted to do something more challenging than what I was doing at the time (working as an RN in Critical Care/Recovery Room). I was working on an MSN at the time and one day I asked myself "what am I doing this for?" I was not fulfilled and needed more in my professional life.

I applied to anesthesia school and got accepted. I guess the rest is history. I really enjoy anesthesia and fill I have found my "niche." The monetary aspect is great, but it was not my primary motivation for going into anesthesia. I hope this helps to answer your questions.
