I just did a interview on Hirevue for providence olympia last week. Havent heard anything yet but I'm hoping and praying. I'm an out of state new grad and just hoping someone takes me in a new grad program!

I am about to graduate high school and would like to some day become a nurse anesthetists ( yes I understand that it will take many years and different requirements) I was hoping I could get tips on how to do this exactly because their a lot of sources out there and I'm not quite sure what to expect when getting all my education and what's really a reasonable amount of time it'll take to get. So these are my main questions..... P.S. I'm planning on attending a four year university and getting my BSN and know that I have to work as a critical care nurse before getting into a nurse anesthetists program 1)while in college what internships/externships should I apply for to have a better chance at getting hired as a critical care nurse or RN 2) what should I expect in amount of time it will take to become a critical care nurse or get hired as one after I graduate with my BSN 3)how many years will I really have to work as critical care nurse to have a good chance at being accepted in the nurse anesthetists program(working/becoming nurse anesthetists please answer) 4)what are some good college programs that will help me become a critical care/nurse anesthetists/RN/BSN 5)what else should I do to increase my chances of getting into a nurse anesthetists program beside the experience I would have as a critical care nurse Those are my main questions for now I would appreciate and experienced nurse who have gone through this process to answer so I can learn from your experiences and apply them in my attempt to become a nurse anesthetists
