Hang in there. I'm an SRNA with under a yr left. Got 2 kids under age 3. Have contemplated quitting on multiple occasions.... Met with my pd once to discuss. I'm in same boat... Do well in class and clinical but it can feel like torture. I ultimately decided to stick it out under the rationale that I'm likely not in my right mind given lack of sleep/stress combo. It was a calculated decision to enter crna school and didn't want to bail while in such a frazzled state of mind. I'll add that it would have been financially devastating to have followed through on quitting. I know this is a bit of a ramble but just wanted to show some support.... You're not alone. School is rough.

Hey buddy, One thing I would have done if I was in your position (already knowing you want to be a CRNA at such a young age) would be take GRE sooner than later. The older you get, the rustier you get when it comes to that sort of thing. Try and take it as soon as possible. You'll save yourself a little headache down the road. I took it in my 30's for CRNA school and it was A LOT of studying to get brushed up on all of those triangle rules :-) Had I taken it at 19 or 20, it would have been a lot easier. While its dreadful to take when school may be years off for you, in the big picture you'll probably get a better score and save a lot of time. Just keep in mind the scores are usually only good for 5 years. Good luck in your pursuit.
