CRNAs have one of the highest salaries among the nursing field. If you are already a licensed registered nurse (RN), you may be qualified to enter a graduate education program to become a CRNA.
CRNAs basically work as an extension of anesthesiologists, delivering anesthesia during surgery. Becoming a CRNA could be a great option for someone who has an interest in surgery or who has good technical skills and is less interested in patient interaction or ongoing patient rapport or continuity, since as a CRNA your patients are “out cold” for most of the time you’re with them. Also in a surgical field, you often do not see the same patient twice.
