How many years of schooling does this take?

And can you recommend any good schools in the DC area? :wink:
The problem with having an open mind is that people keep trying to put things in it.

Finally
Saw that yesterday.

Schooling to become a CRNA includes the following:

1) Get your BS in nursing
2) Get your masters in nursing (2 years)
3) Work in an ICU setting for 2 years
4) Go to CRNA school 2 years

That article is skewed, a bit however. Most CRNA positions involve a lot of call, and a lot of weekends.

We don't pay our nurses nearly that much, but they work 40 hours (4 10 hour shifts) with no call, no weekends, no holidays.

If I had to do it again, I'd look at it long and hard.

Nothing is as effective as homeopathy.

I'd rather listen to an hour of Abba than an hour of The Beatles.
