What did you do while going to CRNA school?

Specializes in Orthopedics.

I'm currently a RN and have been for coming up on 5 years now. I've done orthopedics almost the entire time i've been a nurse, except about 2 years ago I transferred to a stepdown unit for 6 months, didnt care for the doctors, nurses etc. so I left and went back to my old job. I'm too working on my BSN, just started this semester. CRNA school has always been a dream of mine. Question is: How did everyone manage to juggle school, work, family etc? Or the finances of school? I'm 24, no kids, nor married. Is this dream of my doable? I've heard CRNA school is VERY time consuming nor can you work and have good grades. Please tell me about your experiences while going through school.

I am just getting ready to start a program and I am married and have a step-daughter. I have no young children in my home, but do have a family. I have been told that it will consume my life and I am ready for it. I can tell you right now that you are in the best position in your life...YOUNG, SINGLE and no children. I would say go for it! U can work hard, save money and prepare before you start! Kiss the party life and fun away while you are in, but you can do it if you really want to become a CRNA!
