Occupational Therapist or Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist or Nurse Practitioner?


I am considering both careers and I can't make up my mind, I would probably do both if I had the time, so can I have some opinions, feedback, etc. Thanks

I am currently a CRNA student and The University of New England, and I would highly recommend it! To be admitted to a training program you must have a bachelor degree in nursing and at least one year of experience working in intensive care as a registered nurse. Typical CRNA programs are around 2 years long. (mine is 27 months) The coursework is very challenging and is comparable to courses you would take in medical school. When you finish the program, you can go on to have a great career (and the pay's not half bad either)

I am studing to become a crna and i find it to be a very rewarding career. I have friends that are crna's and i have shadowed a crna for a day. Very interesting, plus crna's get paid the most from all the nurses.
