    Hi, I am interested in becoming a crna, and was wondering if there are any accelerated crna programs in the country? I have not went to nursing school yet, and in my research, it seems that someone is looking at around 7-9 years to complete the education and training needed to become a crna. I am wondering if there is a faster way to accomplish this, either by an accelerated BSN or crna program, or some kind of combo of both. Thanks for any advice you can offer me. – Greg

    Hi Greg,

    There are not any accelerated CRNA programs. All CRNA programs are full time as is, so there would be no way to accomplish the schooling and training any quicker. Becoming a CRNA takes hard work and dedication for many years, and there is no shortcut. If time commitment is an issue, than maybe consider choosing another career path, because the road to becoming a CRNA will be extremely time consuming for many years.

    These are the things that I would do:

    1. Do a google search on the schools that you would like to attend.

    2. Once you have found out the schools, then research each one by name.

    3. Write out the pros and cons of each school.

    4. Narrow down your choice of the schools from your list.

    I wish you the best.
