Just wanted to ask those who are either in CRNA school or who are out and practicing...

What is your opinion on the upcoming PhD entry for practice?

I will be applying to 3 different CRNA programs this fall and want to understand the issues...and be able to articulate my opinion (if asked).

What can you tell me??
Is this a good thing?
Will it happen?
What's the benefit?
Downsides?


THank you!

It's not PhD. It will be the Doctorate of Nursing Practice (DNP) and is slated for the CRNAs around 2025. Here is a current thread of discussion:
