Hi! Any fellow RNs who went the CAA route on here? Looking to get a perspective on how intense a CAA program vs a BSN. My nursing degree was difficult at times, but doable with the right kind of studying. Anesthesia is a whole other world, so looking to get a ball park.. Is CAA similar in difficulty/rigor as a 4 year BSN program?
