What were you guys high school GPAs? And would it really affect me in becoming a CRNA?

Hello everyone, I'm new to this site lol. I'm in the 10th grade and I have a few questions. First off before I ask anything, please don't say anything like 'you're too young to be thinking about your future like this'. I have a perfectly normal life and I just want to have a plan for the future hehe. So, this coming fall I'm going to be doing a dual enrollment program at my school (which is when you do college classes at your nearby community college) and I spoke to one of the counselors at the college. I asked her if I can do any nursing programs at the school and she says I can do a nursing program and graduate with an ADN (I already completed the prerequisites), and I'll be eligible to take the NCLEX-RN when I graduate high school. My goal is to become a CRNA, and I know you need to have a BSN to do it, so this is where my questions come in. -I know that most jobs want RN's that have at least 1 year experience in a health facility, so will volunteering for 1 year at a local hospital fulfill that requirement? -After I graduate, what do I do? Should I get a job while doing an RN-BSN program or focus on school? -I heard most RN-BSN programs are online, so would I be enrolled at a college/university but just do my courses online? -After I get my BSN, would I just go into a CRNA program? -Can I get my BSN while doing a CRNA program at the same time? I know I sound like a tense 16 year old, but trust me I'm not lol. I'm really confused and I asked my counselor these questions and she's just as confused as I am so I want to hear advice from people who actually have an idea about what I should do.
