I have decided to ditch the im not good enough attitude, and go to school to become a Nurse Anesthetist. Ive been able to do everything else i have put my mind to including starting my own business i am confident i can do this.
There are some pretty high education requirements.

My plan is to start my job at lockheed martin and take night or online classes to become a LPN. Once i get the LPN i can now start work in a doctors office or hospital and go to school to become a RN and start my Bachelors of Science in Nursing.
Once that is completed and i have one year of experience in a acute care nursing setting i can apply for the CRNA course which consist of 700-850 anesthetics and 1500-1700 clinical hours. The CRNA course is 24-36 months and offers a masters degree.
Total time will be about 7 years until i can be certified as a CRNA. Right now i am researching grants and student loans. I will do the LPN training here at the community college. But i will do the RN and Bachelors at UF (University Of Florida).
Any information or advice will be greatly appreciated.
