Wow, thank you so much. Where did you go to get your BSN?

Oh wow, that is surprising. :) I was considering Fullerton as well. Originally I wanted to attend UCI, but much to my disappointment I found the school did not offer Nursing, or at least no BSNs offered.

Hello, I would like to begin by saying I am new to this site and am thankful for finding it, for no advice is better than one from someone who has been through it before. I am Junior in High School, and am currently in the "searching for colleges" phase... horrible stage. Anyways, for sometime I have been interested in becoming a CRNA. It seems like a profession I would enjoy, I have always wanted to end up somewhere in the medical field, but I didn't want to become a doctor. A RN was always there, but I wanted to be a specialized Nurse, then a friend reccomended looking into a CRNA. I love the sciences, and enjoy math (but not to the same extent). I have a desire to help people, yet I am more of an independent worker (I can work in groups, but I am definitely more efficient by myself). I am your typical overachieving high school student, good grades, difficult classes, outside activity on the side, all that good stuff. Now, I know very little about becoming a CRNA. All of this college speak is foreign to me. For instance, once I graduate from High School I go to a college (I am considering UCLA, all the CSUs, and does UCI offer a bsn?), then... ?? Hahaha, Yes I would appreciate some guidance... Other questions I have were: Do you enjoy your profession? If you had a choice to become a CRNA again would you? Was the result worth all of the work? and finally, did you have much time for anything else during your schooling (and after)? I do have more questions, but none really come to mind at the moment. Thanks! ari
