[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What about a nurse anesthetist? My BIL was a nurse and did the program in 2 years. [/quote]

This is a good job, with a good income.

Some stats (4 years old though):

Pay 	 
Median salary
(experienced) 	$157,000
Top pay 	        $214,000

My friend did this after becoming an NP and decided she didn't want to run her own practice.  This job is a hospital job and is very independent and pays well.  There are many procedures you can do with minimal consult from the anesthesiologist.  The only comment she made that is negative is that 25% of anesthesiologists are covert drug addicts (claiming to dump drugs but using saline to dump and bringing the leftover opiates home) and the liability insurance is insane (the employer pays).  She always wanted to be a doctor but once she had kids she realized that this would be a more manageable yet well respected route.

That's something I would defiitely consider. I don't know much about it, but will look for more information. In addition, if you have any extra info, I would really appreciate it. [/quote][/quote]
