CRNA hours / environment

To be honest, by the time you're done with all the schooling that goes into becoming a CRNA, your son will likely be in school. Not that you won't need to schedule around making time for him, too, just don't want you to think that he'll still be super little while you're working.

Well you know that you have to get your BSN first, work in the ICU for minimum one year and usually the average incoming student has three years of experience. Not to mention all the other hoops to jump through. As an RN you'll work 3 12 hour shifts a week. Once you're in crna school you'll spend 80+ hours a week studying, in class, and in clinicals. So you should be more worried about the process of becoming a CRNA before you worry about what life is like as a CRNA. But they typically can work any kind of shift. I've seen 8 hour shifts, ten hour shifts, and twelve or thirteens. Plus, you have to take call as well.

Thank you that really helped a lot. I think I should look more into the education it takes before starting this career. I think it would be worth it end the end yet I want to make 100% sure instead of being halfway through classes and change my mind
