Hello. My name is Kelly and I live in New York. I will be graduating with an Associates in Nursing in May of '06. I am currently a respiratory therapist with a bachelor's degree and was interested in continuing my education with anesthesiology after getting the necessary experience in ICU. I was wondering if anyone is currently in either one of these two NY CRNA programs (Columbia or SUNY Downstate in Brooklyn) or graduated from one of them. I would appreciate any information that could be provided such as schedule of classes and clinicals and how demanding the program is. I have three young boys (4, 2 and 9 months) and live a very chaotic and busy life so I know it will be pretty difficult to get through the program. I would appreciate any info any one could provide. Thanks a lot.
