Wondering about the schooling..

Published

Someone posted in another post that it only takes 2 years to become a RN. Im wondering if you went this route rather than the 4 year university route, would you still be available for CRNA school ? Because thats my main goal, rn -> CRNA. Just wondering if i can save myself some time (im a first semester freshman right now). Thanks in advance

The program may be 2 years, but theres about 2 years worth of pre-reqs. prior to the nursing program.

I see, pretty much the same thing as 4 year, just a route for the community college folks. Cool

A pretty popular pathway is to get your Associate degree RN at a community college, then on to University to finish your batchelor's degree. That way, you could work part time and not starve while completing your batchelor's degree, and gain some experience, too.

99% of all ADN RNs go to schools for a minimum of 3 years. The first year for the prereqs and then 2 years for the nursing clinical/theory portion.

You must have a BSN to go to CRNA school. Plus even for the two year RN program, there are two years of pre-reqs.

Sorry, but nothing worth having comes that easily! Hope you will still pursue your goal of CRNA, but you need to go the 4 year route.
