Not yet an RN, that's step 1. I think it is definitely worth it. I have a lot of family members and friends that are RN's, MD's and CRNA's. One of my buddies that just finished Anesthesia school with his CRNA just got a job starting that pays $141,000/year, 9 weeks vacation each year and a $40,000 signing bonus paid into his 401k working 8-5p, 5 days a week, on call optional, overtime optional but paid at a set wage calculated as time and a half for the average anesthesia salary at the hospital.

I can't wait to start in January!
