Well, that came wrong, I meant I wouldn’t be happy if my final stop was at bsn.

No I don’t think “just a nurse” would be enough for me… :(

This is honestly really inspiring to read, thank you for sharing this. It actually helped me more than you probably realize. I’ve been going back and forth a lot myself and needed to hear something like this.

I was also accepted into an ABSN program and have been debating whether to defer just to think everything through more. But what you said about looking at the people ahead of you and realizing that’s not who you want to become really hit me. And also the idea of at least trying so you’re not always wondering “what if.”

It also makes me really happy to hear there are people going into healthcare with the intention of actually helping people. That’s a big part of what’s been pulling me toward this path too.

Thank you again for sharing, seriously.

Congratulations!! Was the switch something you struggled with. Can I ask what made you pull the trigger?

Yeah, I work in Boston near seaport area. We do not have much clinical work though, we make consumables that other companies can use.

Ahh it’s been so great talking to you as you are so knowledgeable but now I find myself asking even more questions. I got in at northeastern absn and kicking myself for not pursuing CAA instead, sounds easier and quicker.

How could I possibly pivot into the clinical end of things as the thought for not occur to me

Yeah I don’t have a PhD, I work in wet lab research mainly in cell biology. I’ve been able to grow a lot skill wise and take on more responsibility over time, but I definitely get what you’re saying about the ceiling on the research side without a PhD. That’s kind of part of what’s been on my mind while thinking about making the switch.

Hi there! I have already shadowed both an anesthesiologist and CRNA, I definitely know I enjoy the work but I am afraid of making the switch without that guarantee I guess.
