Hello everyone, I am considering shooting for the 2nd degree accelerated BSN program at my alma mater and was hoping to get some advice on the subject. I graduated from Grand Valley State University in Michigan in 2011 with a BA in political science. I did very well in this major and graduated with a 3.76 overall. Originally I had intended to build on this foundation either by going to law school or by getting a PHD in my field. At this point, I've read way too many bad things about going into law to still consider that route, and obtaining a PHD seems to be a huge investment of time and work for very little payoff. First off, I would go to nursing school with the end goal of becoming a CRNA. There are 13 total prerequisites for the 2nd degree program at GVSU, and I've completed two of them (intro and developmental psych). I have no student loans currently. It seems I would spend upwards of an additional 15-20k in order to complete the remaining pre-reqs, and even then it's very tough to say if I would be accepted to the program. It sure would be nice if there were standard requirements for such a program across schools I am just uncertain of whether doing this is even in the cards for me anymore, and what my job prospects and chance of getting into a CRNA program later would truly be. I know that the CRNA requirements will be changing soon, but I'm unsure of how exactly they're changing. I have very little to go on as far as estimating my aptitude in the hard sciences and math, but college was pretty much a breeze for me all around. I realize I haven't really asked many specific questions, but I'm hoping to just get some input and thoughts from people who've possibly been down this road or something similar. I'm happy to provide more details.
