Why CRNA? What type of nursing are you interesed in?

Published

I hear so much about future nurses on this board saying they want their CRNA. Whats the big attraction? The high pay wage? Always being in the surgery area? I now work at a level 1 trauma hospital as a nurses aide and I float the whole hospital. I know I don't want to be a psych nurse and OB and PEDS can be had by those who really want that speciality, not me. I think I want to work in the ICU. My best friend is a ICU nurse and is travel nursing in California right now. So I have had a dose of what I'm getting myself into here. My friend whos a travel nurse says its not worth it pay wise to get her BSN right now but she will when she's ready to move to a desk job she says. I know I at least want my BSN (I think I'll do it part-time after I graduate with my RN) so when my knees give out or I'm tired of floor nursing I have it. And I know I want it because I don't want to be turned down for a job I see in the future because I don't have it and someone else does.

Wow...I'm actually embarrassed for you.

You obviously know very little about anesthesiology.

You're hopelessly ill-informed and I give up.

i think you are the first person to be full on rude here to me.

i've seen what anesthesiologists do. i've been in surgery numerous times; ive had the anesthesiologist explain what they are doing when they are doing it and it's BORING. i could never do it, but like i said before, im sure that some people find it to be endlessly facinating. obviously you do.

That's way too childish. No one can say what's exciting for another person, if you find it exciting, fine.

Your comment is uncalled for. Do you come here looking for ppl to attack?
