Think about the NP family pathway? Peds, cardiology office, inpatient, urology, etc. I have friends in both pathways… CRNA’s definitely go through more clinical’s and schooling, I see them struggle more than those in NP school.

I cannot speak on struggle, but I've worked with some really sharp critical care NPs as well as Acute Care Neurosurgery NPs. Most ICUs at night do not have MDs present, only Acute Care NP's running everything. And I'm not talking about the Lady of the Sea in galliano, but level one Trauma Center CVICU, Neurosurgery ICU etc are all run by a NP for 12hrs. You had to have your sh! t together or it can get sidewise quickly.
