Good day ma Ma, I am undergraduate studying medical laboratory science in Madonna University Nigeria. Can I become a Certified Registered Nurse Anaesthesia in orthopaedics within 4 years? I am still in Nigeria currently but my visa is being processed. I am planning on studying it on Los Angeles Please ma, I need your guidance. I have a passion for direct patient care and desire to make a more profound impact on health care Outcomes have led me to pursue a career in nursing. The Accelerated BSN program aligns with my goal and I am excited to leverage my skills and experience to become a compassionate and competent nurse. Ma, please, is there any university that offers such program in Los Angeles Thank you ma for your time

To become a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA), you must complete several steps. First, you must complete your Accelerated BSN program, which can be completed in about 1-2 years. After earning your BSN, you'll need to gain clinical experience before applying to a CRNA program, typically 1-2 years. Most CRNA programs take three years to complete.

In Los Angeles, you can look into programs offered by the University of Southern California (USC) or California State University, Los Angeles (CSULA). Make sure to check their specific requirements and timelines.

Best wishes,

Nurse Beth
