How to become a CRNA?

<p>It's my understanding that I have to get my BSN and become an RN. Any more information on that? </p>

<p>I also know that I'll have to get my masters to become a CRNA, but I'm not sure what on. </p>

<p>Also, is there any way to become a nurse, and eventually CRNA, without majoring in nursing? usc doesn't offer nursing and it's a school i'm seriously interested in, so is there any way to go about going to a university that doesn't offer nursing, and still become a CRNA?</p>

<p>give as much information as possible. thanks.</p>

<p>You could do 2 years at a college that doesn’t offer nursing (including taking the core science prerequisite classes for nursing school), and then transfer to a 2 year nursing program. However, that would be an expensive way to become a nurse, if you spend the first 2 years at USC, but don’t even get USC on your diploma.</p>

<p>There also are some colleges with programs to get an RN after you get a BS from another college. That would probably require a total of at least 5 years, or much longer if you haven’t taken most of the required classes at your first college. That option may make sense if you wanted to combine two different disciplines, such as your bachelors degree in management and then get your RN.</p>
