Re: Non Nursing Bachelors to CRNA
I though Columbia required at least 1 year critical care clinical experience to even eligible to start the CRNA program. Thus, you would have to have an RN license.
Did someone tell you that you didn't need to be an RN to enter the program? You can be an RN without a Bachelor's degree, of course. There are RNs with an Associate's degree, and some may have a Bachelor's in another field.
I think there are combined BS/MS programs, where you would first get your Bachelor's then work on your Masters. I think Columbia may offer this.
I don't think there is a direct entry just for the MS without having an RN license. Anyway, I think if you want to be a CRNA, you have to have some experience in nursing.
