Can someone tell me where I go from there, when I get my bachelor of science and if it is a wast of time instead of going straight into nursing school. Also post a timeline, that would be helpful. Also, which is better being an anesthesiologist or a nurse anesthesiologist. Thanks
I agree, that if you want to become a nurse anesthetist, you should major in nursing. I first got a degree in biology, thinking I would go on to medical school, but decided after graduation that I would rather become a nurse. Even though I was at the same school, getting my BSN is taking me an additional 3 years! If you have a BSN, you then enroll in a nurse anesthetist program, which will give you a Master's degree. These programs are 2-3 years in length.
