Anxious teen

Hi, I am a junior in highschool about to enter into summer and am aspiring to become a crna eventually. I was wondering when or what kind of nursing jobs can I start now to help me later on.
CRNA programs require a couple of years of critical care exerience as an RN before you can apply. So at this early point, your best move would probably be to get a job as an aide in an ICU or ER. This might have to wait a bit, I'm not sure they hire people in high school for those kinds of jobs! But to have the best chances of getting hired once you're old enough, any kind of volunteer work you can do in the healthcare field would help.
Best wishes. Look into becoming a CNA or Patient Care Tech. Here we train them on the job, but it's hard for high school students to get a job.The other job might be what they call "Patient Attendent" or what we call a sitter. It's a way to get your foot in the door. Basically you sit and attend to patients one-on-one who are are suicide watch, or need watching because of confusion. Good luck!
Just curious, but being only a junior in highschool, what appleals to you about being a CRNA? Have you researched to find out what exactly being a CRNA entails?
Oh yes, I have studied very extensively! Being an anesthesiologist would be great but a CRNA seems like it would fit the lifestyle I want to have much better. And the way I look at it is, people can say they want to be a cop and firefighter, what's so weird about wanting to be a crna?
