Just wanted to say, some of the other posts seem fairly negative. If you want to go to CRNA school and you know that now, great! I knew at 17 that I wanted to be a CRNA after shadowing in the OR as a high school student. I went directly into a BSN program, and directly into the ICU at a Level 1 Trauma center. I worked 2 1/2 years and now I'm starting CRNA this coming August, just a little shy of 7 years after my initial decision. Financially, went through nursing school on a full ride scholarship from the DHHS called Nurse Scholarship Program, now called Nurse Corps, so no loans. Thought of military or reserves for grad school, but probably won't happen because gotta lose 30 pounds. í ½í¸’ But I chose a public school that offers in-state tuition and lots of scholarships for the program. Point I'm trying to make, if you WANT it, go after it! It will take a little bit of time, but it's def possible. I would def recommend shadowing first though to see if you like it.
