I am currently a student and will be obtaining my bachelors degree within the next year. I am trying to find a good school to go to so that I can continue my studies in order to become a nurse anesthetist, the only problem is that I can not find ANY! I don't have alot of time to research either because I work full time and go to school full time. Are there any nurses or students that may know of where or what I can do? I'm positive that this is what I'd like to do, I'm just uncertain of how to get to my goal. Any help is appreciated.
What is your current major? If it's not nursing, then you have to begin by going to nursing school. You will have to check with your college to see if you can get into their program or one near where you live.
Then you have to work as a critical care nurse for at least one year before applying to nurse anesthesia school. Do a search on this web site, you will find tons of threads related to this topic.
Good Luck
My major is nursing I'll graduate within the next year hopefully all of your tips will help me find a school soon! Thank you

Start by taking ownership of your future. It is cool that people can post and ask questions of others r/t nursing, but your statement rubs me the wrong way. Nurse's have worked and continue to work very hard to get into CRNA school , to complete school and to maintain the profession despite the expenditure of time and energy.

I am well aware of hard work. I actually don't know of many 21 year olds who live by themselves and support themselves entirely while also going to school and maintaing a 3.9 GPA.
If I didn't own my future I would be partying everyday like most of the 21 year olds I know rather then busting my but to just eat a $1 hot dog. Your old enough to be a mother if you are currently not. I would have thought that you would have seen how hard I am working rather then criticising someone you don't even know. I never complain about my situation or ask for pitty or even help. So if I ask a question and can get help which is why most of us are here please don't judge me or make a comment that doesn't even pertain to my question because it didn't help at all.
However, even criticism is welcomed. I guess I need to get fuel somehow.

You have got to be kidding me....First off I am the father of two children...Second: My four year old could do a search and find what you claim you cannot find...Your initial statement comes across as lazy and like someone who passes the buck for others to do the searching for them.

Also, as a father I would tell my child if they asked, that if they looked at the top of the page there is a sticky that lists the school rankings and to read it. Sometimes being a parent isn't easy and you have to use harsh discipline for the child's best interests.
Maybe you should check out crnadirect.com you can look under schools and they list all schools in the US by state. It is very helpful. Good luck and keep up the hard work.

Hey galaj,

*** I don't know about that site. When I clicked on Wisconsin they listed no CRNA schools in this state. We do have a CRNA school. What else are they missing?
