I did find a part time three year program at North Carolina, I don't like to think of it as part time though. It is still very demanding but gives you a bit more time for yourself and family by doing it over three years. I found a great program at University Minnesota, you may take some of the nursing courses on-line prior to admission to the program,if you have a Master's in Nursing you only have to take Anesthesia courses. In Evanston, IL. you take mainly Anesthesia classes if you already have a Master's in nursing as well, and they even give you the option of choosing a two or three year track. So, when people say that there are no family friendly schools, that is not entirely true, it is just that this is as friendly as it gets...All I am looking for is the best suited program for myself and my family, and when the school works with the student in this fashion, I think, that the student will be more successful. At least I will be, I feel that it is worth uprooting my family for schools like these, and not any other kind of program.

This is great info for me since I am looking for a flexible program where I can maintain my family life as well as school commitments!! Thanks for the program info!!

I am growing increasingly more frustrated each day I look for family friendly CRNA programs. Family friendly meaning that students are able to go part time or have distance learning or even lengthen their program but lessen the classload. I have found a couple but not many and I would really like more than just two. If anyone has any ideas please let me know, I am even willing to finish my MSN as a NP and try to get into a post masters program...Thanks:confused: :confused:

I would like to hear from anyone who is attending or graduated from the program at University of Minnesota. Please give me any info on the program you can such as your GPA/experience in order to get accepted. What has the program been like, challenging or reasonable? Has anyone done their general credits online prior to admission? This seems to be a family friendly school, which is what I need. Please let me know any info....

I just looked at Aurora health care website and search openings for CRNA and they have their own clinic. Check it out, you couls probably shadow easily there...
