    No, CRNA schools look for experience as a registered nurse in a critical care setting. Good luck!!!

    It will help you get an RN position once you graduate. It will not count as critical care experience.

    I was a student nurse in an ICU which opened the door to getting in the ICU immediately after graduating....
