a year for LPN, then four for BSN, then you have to have two years of ICU experience to qualify to anesthesia, that's another 18 months to two years

Many schools only require one year of critical care experience. Once accepted, the anesthesia program will last approximately 27 months for most programs. You might be better off going for your RN initially and then enrolling in a RN-BSN Online program so that you can complete your year of full-time employment while you are completing your BSN. Just a thought!

I also plan on becoming a CRNA. In the beginning I wanted to go for my LPN but after thinking it'll take me forever. After looking into it, like jgilligan23 said. I'm going for my RN program which is 2 years then do the RN-BSN program for a year online, and get the 1 year ICU experience then go right into the CRNA program.
