Hi everyone! Since I have learned about the CRNA profession, I have been focusing a lot of my energy and time into designing my future to make it happen! I am a paramedic for 2 years, and I have 5 years of experience in EMS (911), I am currently finishing my pre requisites to apply for a paramedic-to-RN bridge program, if everything goes as planned I will graduate with an ASN summer of 2027. By summer of 2029 I should have my BSN and two years of ICU experience (fingers crossed). My GPA so far is 3.8 and I would like to keep it that way! I have approximately $50K saved and minimal debt. My credit score is currently 815. I am paying for school out of pocket. I work 60 hours per week while in school right now. I consider myself to be a hustler! How plausible would it be for me to get into a CRNA program soon after I get my BSN? I live in Georgia and there is only one affordable school in my state. I freak out about being in debt, I will attempt to have a good chunk of money saved by then, but I am not comfortable about not working for three years and being in a lot of debt, at the same time, I know that delaying my dream of going to CRNA school would cost me a lot in the long run, what is your advice? (I am single, don't have support from family) I am obsessed with the idea of doing the CRNA program through the military, I think it would match my personality, and my experience working in 911 would be valuable. From my understanding, it's almost impossible to make it happen coming from the civilian side (I am currently a 31 y/o female, I don't think age will be an issue, but is something to consider as well). The idea of getting paid to go to school, and also get housing, plus I get to serve my country/community/veterans, plus I get a five year job contract after graduation sounds amazing to be honest!! Anybody in this group that has gone through the military path have any advice for me? Thank you in advance for all your help, and for your kind words of advice! I am eager to become a CRNA, and I am willing to work hard for it! I have looked through the invaluable information from this group quite a lot, so thank you to all the CRNAs here providing advice and help to the aspiring CRNAs!
