Thank you. I figured. Trying to plan for how much/when I will be able to help my husband with the kids vs how much help I need to plan for as far as getting them where they need to go. I'm sure the didactic schedule is very program dependent.

Bellarmine is a great school. I went there for my BSN and will hopefully be applying to the CRNA program in the next few years. Bellarmine has a great reputation in the Midwest. From what I've observed working in the Louisville area, Bellarmine prepared nurses are very good. The faculty are incredibly supportive of students and have all had a lot of professional success so you can rest assured that you are learning from the best!

Are there any CRNA/SRNA moms that had/have young children while going through anesthesia school? If so, can you shed some light on how you managed and balanced everything? I really want to become a CRNA, but am so nervous about how realistic it is for me to do this. I have a supportive spouse, however, his job is very demanding and he usually works 50-60 hours a week. What is the typical schedule like for didactic vs clinical? Were you able to do drop off or pickup for daycare? Were you home for dinner most nights? How much of your kids life did you miss out on during the years you were in school? Do you have any regrets? Mom guilt is hitting me hard. Thanks for any input.
