Is the GRE similar to the SAT or ACT?

Wow I got some contradicting responses to that and I appreciate them all. So I guess now my question would be-- When I am interviewing for nursing school should I tell them that my goal is to be a CRNA? Because it definitely is. And about the nurse manager in the ICU. I read in one of the nursing magazines about a nurse manager that actually sought out future CRNA's because they were so motivated and they would be there for at least a year or two. Thanks again for the responses.

I probably should have said that I prefer the field of anesthesia. Not that I don't care for the role of the RN. That would be more accurate. But thanks for the response.

Hi, I just graduated high school and am now about to begin a pre-nursing curriculum at a university. I am fairly convinced that I want to be a CRNA. I have already shadowed for a day and have talked to other CRNA's. I have always been intrigued by the human body as well as anethesia. I also like the idea of being able to help people on a daily basis. I'm not going to lie the money is attractive as well, but is not my main driving force otherwise I would just go to med school. However I think that CRNA's have better schedules thus better personal lives, plus they are the ones that actually DO the anethesia! Anyway, I have a couple of lingering questions. I've read a lot on this topic, but I want yall's opinions. What is the future of the CRNA field. Will we be replaced by AA's? (I tend to think not) Also is it wrong that I don't really care for the RN field itself. My mom is a RN in the PACU and she works long hard hours. When I shadowed I saw the roles of both the RN's and the CRNA's. I think I could handle the role of the RN for a couple years on the road to being a CRNA. As I am much more attracted to the CRNA field. Is that going to be a problem for me going through nursing school? Last question- Is it reasonable to believe that with solid grades and a good interview that you could be accepted to CRNA school with only one year of CC expierence? Any replies would be appreciated- they dont even have to be regarding those questions. I am also interested to read anything people have to say about this field. THANKS Sean
