I am going to school in the US. But my research has indicated that there are nurse anesthetist traineeships available to students beyond twelve months of study in a CRNA program. The school I will be attending has received funds from the government every year for these awards. So I plan to inquire about this to see if I will qualify when I start the program next fall.
p.s. there are no CRNAs in the UK. Unfortunately the UK does not always keep up with the times!
Qwiigley,
I would be interested to know what the stipulations are for receiving these awards. Are you allowed to work and receive some type of assistance from the traineeship? The school where I have been accepted informed that it is quite feasible to work part-time after the first nine months of didactic and clinical. Since the traineeship is government funded, I am sure the same rules apply for all schools.
Thanks

Did any of you CRNAs receive a nurse anesthetist traineeship during your second year of school. Other than being in school full time, are there any other stipulations? How much is the average award? I do not plan on working when I begin my clinical next fall, and I am trying to pay for everything out of my pocket without getting student loans. My tuition for my Masters degree courses are bad enough now even if I am working full time. Things are going to get much worse when I am not working since I am paying over $500 a credit. I am thankful that I have the option of completeing the 18 university credits prior to beginning the didactic studies next fall, because things would have been a lot more bleak financially!
