Are there a lot of job opportunities for nurse anesthetists nowadays? and how what kind of education do you need to be one, an ASN or BSN?

well it depends on how many basic classes you may have had before but in general a BSN is 4 years. You can get your MSN and do the CRNA school at the same time in about 2 more years but this is full time so 6 years minimum without any other life outside of school work. You should check the requirements of CRNA schools in your area and see what they require most are pretty intense.
