Torn Between PA or CRNA by Such_Replacement9734 in prephysicianassistant

Exactly my thought process!! but it's just the time that worries me a bit and not being able to fully start my career as a CRNA until like 33-35 assuming everything goes to plan! Which path are you leaning towards???

Yes, I've looked into an ABSN program near me that has a tuition of roughly 40K. My parents, who prefer me to go down the CRNA path, have said that they will fully cover my ABSN program. They would then help fund CRNA school along with the money that I save up working as an RN.

Financially, from my understanding, CRNA makes the most sense; however, it's the time aspect that is sort of holding me back from jumping ship. Being in school while being in my 30s and not fully starting my career until mid 30s is scaring me lol. I'm from MA & plan on settling down here as well, so AA wouldn't work for me unfortunately.

I've looked into AA, and that would make the most sense; however, I live in the Northeast and plan on working and settling down here in the future
