I have only a few more questions for anyone wanting to answer. Is there a diff. in CRNA schools as far as how hard and demanding the schools are (i.e. Diff. program lengths, start off part time until clinicals, etc.)? What is the need to know microbiology and organic chemistry to be a CRNA? Does how hard a class is in CRNA school have a lot to do with the teacher you have or are the teachers in CRNA school a lot more interested in your success than most undergrad. profs?

The difficulty varies from school to school. All of the programs are difficult and time consuming. Anesthesia is very complex and there is a great deal of physiology and pharmacology that one must know as well. As far as any chemistry or physics your school will teach you what you need to know, but it never hurts to take a general or ochem class before you start school. As with any class, difficutly does deal with the teacher, but in this case the material is what makes the course demanding.
