    Thank you for the reply, I'm just asking this because I don't know if there is time to have a social life during CRNA school. I'm worried I will miss out on my kids childhood.
    I start in August but my understanding is that you will have maybe an hour a day with your family. so yes you will miss out on a lot. studying will consume 70 to 90 hours a week of your life for 2 to 3 years

    I have 3 children and I know it is going to be a sacrifice. we have talked a lot over the years of me finishing school and I have waited 15 years to go back. and it is time

    good luck

    If your doing it for the money...don't do it...its a very stressfull job, most work 40+ hours, and there's a lot of political BS between CRNAS and MDAS

    Well money is a factor in the decision of course because I want my family to have a stable financial future but I love health care. I'm not sure that working as a nurse will be high enough pay especially in Florida. I wouldn't even be considering CRNA school or nursing if I didn't love what the job entails but of course money is a factor since I am paying for school and school is taking years of my life.
