Hi, so I was recently excepted in the nursing program and I am excited! As soon as I opened the letter I began to search for what I wanted to do. I have learned many things since last week and decided to become a Nurse anesthetist. At first I wanted to be a full anesthesiologist but found out that I would not be done with school until my early 30's! No thank you! Then I found out about CRNA and this is where my complications started. If all goes well, i will graduate in Spring of '18 with a BSN at 23 years of age. I honestly want to be done with school as early as possible but I also want the best education and understand that with nursing "schooling" is never really over and that is fine. I just do not want to be in my 30's and still in school because I (hopefully) want to start a family at 25-28 What degree is best for me? I read that some dgrees practice while others research?When I searched for CRNA schools I realized that some are MSN, DNP, MSNA, or MS. What exactly is the real difference? Can I receive my DNP without MSN? Is it worth it to become a DNP? What exactly is a APRN when considering anesthesiology? What is the highest level of education when considering anesthesiology other than Ph.D? Is it wise to jump to DNP without MSN straight out with BSN if I have the qualifications?
