The decision to go into nursing was a long one. I suppose that I was initially interested in it about three years ago when my wife and I were living in a small town in Oklahoma. At the time I needed a job and the town did not offer many opportunities other than a two year ADN nursing program at the local community college. I applied and was accepted. A good friend of mine that was in medical school suggested that I investigate CRNA or Nurse Anesthetist.
