I am currently trying to figure out the best way that I can become a CRNA starting with a BS in Biology. From my research thus far it appears that my two options are: 1. Apply to ABSN, work as an RN for 1-2 years, apply to CRNA program 2. Apply to Master's Entry program, work for 1-2 years, apply to CRNA program It appears that the ABSN vary greatly in the length it takes to complete the program such that a Master's entry program may be equivalent in length (roughly 2 years) My biggest question is whether or not a master's in nursing such as the Clinical Nurse Leader is more or less beneficial when applying to CRNA school later. Will having a Master's with no experience hurt me? If if takes the same amount of time should I just go ahead for the Master's instead of getting an additional Bachelor's? Any and all advice on this matter is GREATLY appreciated! Sincerely, Confused Applicant
