I looked and continue to look relatively seriously at AA/CRNA. due to my early life laziness both will take me about the same length since I need a BS either way, CRNA a touch longer due to having to get ICU experience.
My biggest issue with CRNA is I don't really want to work as an ICU nurse. Biggest issue with AA is they can only practice in 17 states if I remember correctly. May be more since I last looked but if it is it's not many more.

I think AA's are up to about 22 or so states now. But in many of those states, there are very few. There are only a handful of areas where there are lots of jobs for AA's.
If CRNA and AA would take you the same amount of time, then CRNA is the easy choice. Many more options as far as where you go to school, and many more options for where and what type of practice you work in.
You might like ICU nursing more than you think. Especially if you get into a really good unit in a good hospital system.
