CRNA wonderer

Published

Specializes in Geriatrics.

I am a 21 year old looking to go into CRNA school. I live in North Idaho and I am in LPN school. My path looks like this:

1. Finish LPN school

2. Go into RN school

3. Get my BSN

4. Work in the ICU for a year

5. Go to CRNA school

My question is, I have everything figured out, except for where to got to CRNA school, and a ballpark range of how much it's going to cost. Also, any ideas to how to make my journey easier, please let me know.

Work in the ICU while attending BSN school, then you have the experience, and the degree at once.

I think I have heard CRNA school runs something like 30k a year. AND you don't work during school, which is year around, for three years. (Just what I have been told.)

The cost depends on which school. I got into and started a program in Miami at a private university that was 7 semesters and would have run me 100-120 grand in loans(loans include tuition and living expenses since you will not be able to work) by the time I graduated. Alot of people want to do CRNA in theory and don't actually end up doing it for various reasons, myself included.
