I have gotten into several Accelerated Nursing programs. I graduated from a UC with a 2.34cgpa. It will take me several years as a post-bac, maybe an SMP, and a killer MCAT to get into an oestheopathic medical school that does grade replacement.

I would be happy as a Nurse Anesthetist, but I'm am wondering how I am ever gonna have a strong enough stomach to wipe ass and sputum?! Does one get use to foul odors?! This is one reason I do not want to be a bedside RN. Secondly, I am not being academically fulfilled taking pre-nursing classes. As they say, if you are the smartest person in the room, then you are in the wrong room.

I have always wanted to go to medical school for the adventure, for the learning of science, for the gross anatomy lab. I do believe the journey is the reward, but I am afraid of being 42, and making my first pay check.

Are there any doctors out there that wished they became a CRNA?

Are there any CRNAs that wished they went to medical school instead?
