Hello,
Id like to get some information on the career path of a crna.
Iv heard it takes no longer than 7 years to become a crna.
But i really have some questions.
How long does it take are what are the steps in becoming a crna.
Iv also been told while in process to be a crna , you become a rn.
If you become a rn, does that mean while your tring to be a crna , you get a rn's salary?
Or do you have to wait until your a crna to actually start making a salary,.
I know at this time the average salary for out of school studentss as a crna is 160,000. IS that still true?
And when you become a crna. Im not sure but again i heard you have to sign a contrac with hospital, or wherever to work certain hours a week but its usually no more than 40 hours a week. true?
And while your a crna , are you aloud to do other nurse things like go maternity to be like a housewive or to the pediatric unit?
Please answer, id appriciate it.:)
