Life went on and I had totally convinced myself that nursing was not for me. To make a long story short I enrolled in a program to finish my Bachelors degree in Business and begin thinking again about medicine. I investigated medical school or podiatry school. Both of these routes took too long and in the end I knew that I did not have the scholastic stamina to stick it out. At the same time I continued to look into nursing. I discovered that in reality CRNAs can make an incredible living. Not only that but many nurses in other fields make 70-80k a year and nurse practitioners can make over 100k. A brand new grad RN can make at least $21/hour in most states and up to $27/hour or more in some areas.
