I need help and advice, please

I'm sorry that I can't help with any of your questions. I just wanted to say good luck. It would have to be a scary situation. Stay and not be able to feed your family or come to a place that you don't know. I hope all goes well for you and your family. Good luck in you decision making and in your future.

Yes it's scary but here are some answers- unfortunately you will not like all of them.

1. CRNA-approximately 55% are female- 45% male

2. Very few of your nursing courses would "transfer" to medicine you would be looking at an additional 7-8 years of pre med/med school followed by internship and residency (additional 3-4) years.

3. I don't know the answer to that.

4. All nurse anesthesia programs must be accredited- for information about costs go to aana.com click on accredited programs and search the individual program websites.

5. There are no shortcuts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Good Luck

I suggest you contact the State Board of Nursing in FLorida and let them know about your questions, they can steer you in the right direction.

Florida International University in Miami has an ARNP program:

I believe they're a state university, which means tuition is a whole lot lower for Florida residents in general.

Good luck!
