I love the prospect of being a nurse. I love bedside care. Patients really make me thankful for my health and family. I am older (54) and I want to become a CRNA after my year of critical care so I can help my patients on a higher level. I already have my BSN and most prereqs.
What's the shortest time you've heard being a critical care nurse, then going into CRNA school? Can you really be in CRNA school after just one year of critical nursing? I dont know, I might miss bedside too much. Thats really a short time. thanks!
Why don't you work full time in the ICU? If you want to be in the besst position possible to begin clinical you really need that ICU experience, once is week just isn't the same.
i started working in icu (and as a nurse period) from june 2008....to september 2009. i have a yr and three months experience. i will be starting crna school in august 2010.
