There will be the time to get a BSN..which can take 4-5 years, depending on the college. Then you will need a masters, which can take 3-4 years depending on the college. Your best bet is to look at schools of interest and see how long it takes and time commitments and such.

regular college plus med school. 7 years

Back up the bus!

Anesthesiologist = Physician, not nurse. CRNA's are nurse anesthetists, NOT anesthesiologists.

If you want to be a CRNA, you need a bachelor's in nursing, 1-2 years of critical care nursing experience, then 2-3 years of CRNA school.

If you want to be an anesthesiologist, it's a 4 year bachelor's degree (in anything), 4 years of medical school and 4 years or more of residency.

You need to decide if you want to be a doctor or a nurse, because that is the first step.

Good luck with whatever you choose.
