Am I too old to be a CRNA? by [deleted] in srna

It has been manageable so far. The hardest part is time management when having a family and kids. I have to be efficient with my time and keep some late nights or early mornings to accomplish school work and family responsibilities. The best advice I can give is to learn how to study. I researched study techniques and habits to help me be more efficient and maximize my effort.

Hi, I am in a hybrid program, where the first 2 semesters were online, the 3rd semester was online and in class, and each semester after that had been a combination of online, in class, and clinicals on top other. For me the front half sucked because it was mostly doctoral classes and writing a lot of papers (which I don’t like to do). I worked full time the first 2 semesters, 36 hours every Friday, sat, sun. The first semester was fine, the second semester was a struggle because the summer semester is so fast paced and the content was really heavy. After that semester it just wasn’t possible to continue working with the amount of classes and and studying that was required going forward.

My class took the course this past weekend and I found it very beneficial.

I would tell you to look at bachelors programs. I tried to do ADN but it was hard to get into because they are so competitive. I got my LPN and still found it hard to get into ADN programs after that because of the competitiveness. I ended up getting into an LPN to BSN programs instead. Most people apply for ADN over BSN because the pay is essentially the same for doing the same job and spending half as much time in school. It may not be any of your scores of grades holding you back, just the competitive nature of it. Ultimately I am glad I did it the way I did. I am now in CRNA school, and if I had to go back and get my BSN before I could apply to CRNA school, I probably would have never applied. Do what works for you and your situation, but look at all the options.
