anybody a crna

How hard is it to be a crna?? And how long is school for it?
I know someone who is trying to take that route. So far I can gather that she has to get her ccrn, have a year of experience in a cvicu, and she has her eye on a program in Louisiana because it will involve the least amount of travel. A lot of them do require a lot of traveling and obviously you have no way of being able to work during the whole process because it is so rigorous. And will cost you a ton of money.
