A CRNA is a master's prepared registered nurse.  Thus about 4 years for a baccalaurate degree in nursing plus between 18-30 months of graduate school plus clinical time.   Many graduate schools of nursing require that the applicant have practiced in nursing for 1-2 years at a minimum.  The US armed forces also trains CRNA's, but I do not know how their program differs from the graduate CRNA program.

Im trying to decipher what you're looking for. Is it an accelerated Paramedic course? Or an accredited course?\nWhat you need is a bridge course. (bridges the gap between RN and Paramedic) I know of one in my area, Northwest Ohio. Anywhere else, I am afraid I don't know.

i assume you're going to a 4-year college correct? but either way, it's always good to get your BSN before you take the board exam >> NCLEX-RN << and if you pass it then you're be qualified as a RN. i myself also spent 4 years to get my BSN before passing the board exam and became a RN. many people would just go straight to take the exam after they've earned an associate degree in science to become a RN, that way they save time and money. but i wouldn't suggest you to go for the shortcut, the BSN comes in very helpful in the long run as if you want to advance to a higher degree like DNP - master degree in nursing, very very good money. lol but anyways, just try to have fun with the pre-nursing courses for now and worry about being a RN later. i'm sure your professors will give you a lot of help and you'll understand more about the consequences of becoming a nurse.

If you want to be a radiologist you have to go to school at least 10 years.If you want to be a radiological technician then you go to school for 2 years.I suggest going into nursing because you aren't limited to just the radiology department.you can go into different types of nursing also.a radiologist just looks over the x-rays and diagnoses.an x-ray tech performs the procedures.Hope this helps and good luck!

That is entirely up to you. If you go to WSU, you'll have to pay for tuition. But if You go through the Navy you'll be going through 3 months of intense studying and practice to become a liscence Nurse. After your four year commitment of enlistment, all you would have to do is take the bar exam and find a suitable hospital you would like to work in as a civilian nurse, and with Military experience, that won't be very hard to do. Your pay will also be very very good too in the navy. Better than spending four years in  college, having a loan and debt.

Safety Engineering Technology\nComputer Information Systems\nIndustrial Engineering Technology\nAviation Maintenance Technology\n\nOh yeah, almost forgot the obvious choice!  Nursing.  An RN licensure is usually obtained after completing a 2 year Associates of Science degree.  The licensure is seperate from the degree though and varies by state.

RN = Registered Nurse. \n\nAn RN can be an RN in training but NOT Licensed.  The License is separate and has to be paid for renewal every year or so from the State or Country you live in.\n\nAn RN is trained in 3 different ways.  An Associates Degree, a Bachelor's Degree or a rare 3-year program called Diploma Program.  \n\n2 year = ADN = Associates Degree Nurse\n3 year = DRN =  Diploma Registered Nurse\n4 year = BSN = Bachelors of Science in Nursing\n\nThere is no difference in the Nursing Skills of any of these degrees (when we take our Boards .. the test that we HAVE to pass to BE an RN, we all take the EXACT SAME TEST).  What is different is the filler knowledge.. that additional stuff that makes a "rounded" degree.  Core Classes.. and the rest of the "Stuff'.\n\nYou can be an RN and not allowed to work as an RN when you do not have a License.  All you have to do is pay for the next couple years License fees to renew a license.. no retesting, etc.\n\nYou can go further in being an RN.. a Nurse Practitioner, a Midwife, A Masters degree, a PhD, etc.  These are more specialties.  But they all start off with the basic RN training.\n\nI am an RN, so am intimately familiar with the Process.

It makes great money, it's stable, and unless you're a doctor the training is pretty simple.\nExample: my dad, a CRNA (anesthetist), is making over $110,000 a year. Not too bad. \n\n(I should mention that when I mean nurse, I mean a RN, not a LPN.) \n\nHowever, the hours suck (12 hour shifts), the stress can be incredible, and working call is the worst. \nExample: My dad wasn't able to leave our city to go ANYWHERE while he was on call. He often missed birthdays and holidays. \n\nBasically it comes down to this: many nurses NOW are growing into the retirement age (like my dad). If you are interested, you may like it. If you love it, you're going to stay. If you don't, you're going to quit at the first oppurntunity.

I am a retired nurse.  Became a nurse at age 31, and in my class in college 31 was actually the average age!  We had 2 girls straight out of high school.  All others were older.  In most states a 4 yr college degree is preferred, but in many, you can go to a 2 yr program to get your R.N.  Then you can work as an R.N. and transfer into a B.S. (Bachelor of Science in Nursing)  program at a 4 yr University for 2 more years.  This way you can get tuition reimbursement help from your employer. She could call a nearby Jr. college or community college for info. Many women, and men too, do this. Encourage her to go for it.  The college will guide her into appropriate classes.  There is a specific plan.

I'm not one, but I've heard it takes lots of hard work and studying to become one.  They also make TONS of money but remember, it's your responsibility to make sure people wake up after surgery, so it may be a stressful job.  Good luck.

You have to go to an approved training program which consists of 9 to 24 months and lead to a certificate, diploma, or associate degree.  You can go to the attached site to read all about the career.

To become a pediatric nurse the person must be a registered nurse (RN), as well.  A registered nurse requires a licensing exam and need to go to college (two- or four-year degree).  Most nursing programs insist on the student having a Basic Life Support certificate, and a standard first aid class, which must remand current.  For a registered pediatric nurse education, it is the same as a RN only the nurse can get a certification of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners and Nurses.  Although not required, a nurse might have a bachelor's degree.

An anesthesiologist is a physician who obtains specialty residency training in anesthesia. To become an anesthesiologist, one must first receive a Bachelor's Degree from a four year college or university, and then a Medical Degree (M.D.) from an accredited medical school. After graduation from medical school, a doctor will typically apply for a residency in a specialty such as surgery, pediatrics, or anesthesiology. A residency in anesthesiology requires four additional years of training, with the option for further sub-specialization through a fellowship of one to three years. Board certification may be obtained only by successfully completing a complex written and oral examination process which occurs after graduation from a residency program. So, you must first go to a medical school (and there are plenty in NY) and then you get a residency (there are plenty in NY). \n\nAn anesthetist is a registered nurse with specialty training who delivers anesthesia, sometimes under the supervision of an anesthesiologist and sometimes as a solo practitioner. CRNAs provide anesthetics to patients in collaboration with surgeons, anesthesiologists, dentists, podiatrists, and other qualified healthcare professionals. When anesthesia is administered by a nurse anesthetist, it is recognized as the practice of nursing; when administered by an anesthesiologist, it is recognized as the practice of medicine.\n\nAs advanced practice nurses, CRNAs practice with a high degree of autonomy and professional respect. They carry a heavy load of responsibility and are compensated accordingly.\n\nCRNAs practice in every setting in which anesthesia is delivered: traditional hospital surgical suites and obstetrical delivery rooms; critical access hospitals; ambulatory surgical centers; the offices of dentists, podiatrists, ophthalmologists, plastic surgeons, and pain management specialists; and U.S. Military, Public Health Services, and Department of Veterans Affairs healthcare facilities.\n\nEducation and experience required to become a CRNA include:\nA Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) or other appropriate baccalaureate degree. \n\nA current license as a registered nurse. \n\nAt least one year of experience as a registered nurse in an acute care setting. \n\nGraduation with a master’s degree from an accredited nurse anesthesia program. They range from 24-36 months, depending upon university requirements. All programs include clinical training in university-based or large community hospitals. \n\nPass a national certification examination following graduation.\n\nI suspect that you are referring to anesthetists, rather than anesthesiologists. Go to the AANA training website below and look at the NY schools. \n\nHope this helps.

not really quick but an LPN is 1 year course and you can get associate degree later if you like your work
