Yes I am a nursing student. I actually tried to google it, yahoo it even ask.com it and it just keeps bringing me to doctors or schools that are not in state. I'm going to use the websites the other prople posted though. Thank you

Anyhow, go to AANA.com, click on "becoming a CRNA" scroll down to "accredited programs". You can search schools by state.

BTW, you can't apply to CRNA school directly after finishing your BSN b/c you have to work for a minimum of 1yr (usually 2) in an ICU. The AANA website has information on that as well.

Good luck.

No don't worry I should have been more specific. I'm looking for a school in New Jersey or New York but have so far only found 1 in New York. I don't think I'd be able to commute any further without moving. Thank you though that website seems extremely helpful I am going to go on it now.

What is your current major? If it's not nursing, then you have to begin by going to nursing school. You will have to check with your college to see if you can get into their program or one near where you live.

Then you have to work as a critical care nurse for at least one year before applying to nurse anesthesia school. Do a search on this web site, you will find tons of threads related to this topic.

Good Luck

My major is nursing I'll graduate within the next year hopefully all of your tips will help me find a school soon! Thank you

Start by taking ownership of your future. It is cool that people can post and ask questions of others r/t nursing, but your statement rubs me the wrong way. Nurse's have worked and continue to work very hard to get into CRNA school , to complete school and to maintain the profession despite the expenditure of time and energy.

I am well aware of hard work. I actually don't know of many 21 year olds who live by themselves and support themselves entirely while also going to school and maintaing a 3.9 GPA.

If I didn't own my future I would be partying everyday like most of the 21 year olds I know rather then busting my but to just eat a $1 hot dog. Your old enough to be a mother if you are currently not. I would have thought that you would have seen how hard I am working rather then criticising someone you don't even know. I never complain about my situation or ask for pitty or even help. So if I ask a question and can get help which is why most of us are here please don't judge me or make a comment that doesn't even pertain to my question because it didn't help at all.

However, even criticism is welcomed. I guess I need to get fuel somehow.

You have got to be kidding me....First off I am the father of two children...Second: My four year old could do a search and find what you claim you cannot find...Your initial statement comes across as lazy and like someone who passes the buck for others to do the searching for them.

Also, as a father I would tell my child if they asked, that if they looked at the top of the page there is a sticky that lists the school rankings and to read it. Sometimes being a parent isn't easy and you have to use harsh discipline for the child's best interests.

Hey galaj,

Maybe you should check out crnadirect.com you can look under schools and they list all schools in the US by state. It is very helpful. Good luck and keep up the hard work.

*** I don't know about that site. When I clicked on Wisconsin they listed no CRNA schools in this state. We do have a CRNA school. What else are they missing?
