Hello,
I am graduated College with a degree in Biology, decent grades (not applying myself) and I now work in Finance. I started off with a finance company and was promoted to branch manager for 1.5yrs and I'm now a Mortgage loan officer for another company. I'm looking at trying to become a (CRNA) Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist. And my main drive is for the money. My mother and grandmother are both RN's so I've been around the environment all my life. MY main questions are, short of meeting with an admissions advisor, what all is involved in me becoming an RN? I Know schooling but would my previous degree save me on a lot of the prereq's? From what I have gathered the process would involve me becoming an RN, at least 1yr ICU/ER work, then apply for CNRA program of 24-36 months depending on the program.
The bottom line is I have the POTENTIAL (key word) to make the same amount of money at my current job, but it's a lot of calling and to be honest it's almost like cold calling, except for it's current customer leads. 100k+ is really appealing to me AND I love science/biology work.
Any advise would be greatly appreciated, I have been tossing this idea around for about two weeks now and I've discussed it with my Fiancé` and she's very supportive as is my mother. Thanks!

I will not lie, being a RN has allowed me the opportunity to travel and work overseas. Never would I have imagined when I graduated that I would work in Australia yet alone relocating back for the second time. Being a RN can be a very challenging job, physically, mentally and emotionally. I have had patients tell me that they can tell when a nurse is in it because she (or he) loves the profession and cares about others or is in it to make a quick buck.
