<p>Look at the local community colleges in Maryland (I am assuming you live in md!). A number of them have the artriculation agreements with universities for bachelors. So you get your associates at CC in nursing (you will be an RN), then your bachelors at the university, then transition to JHU or Maryland for CRNA. By getting your RN first, you will be able to work as an RN as you are in school. A number of hospitals will pay for your BSN/CRNA degrees. Especially if you get a job at hopkins after you get your RN. Good luck! I am an RN, have been for 25 years, and it is a great profession! Some hospitals used to pay for CC degress also if you agreed to work for them for x number of years after graduating. And worked for tham as an aide while in school. North Arundel used to do this, but I am not sure if they still do since being bought by Maryland.</p>
