Why ADN is Better Than BSN for CRNA.. For Some

If she's too old at 23, I must be ancient at 40, and still a year from my ADN.


Anyone seen my cane?

haha that made my day!

Since I'm here for the entertainment of the masses, my work is complete.

Thats a great story. I am a incoming freshman to a local University in my home town. However after doing some thinking, I am considering transfering a community college to get a two year nursing degree and then apply to get a bacholors through the university. I am a little torn though, I am not sure if I do this it will look bad on future applications to either be a CRNA. What do other CRNA or even other students think? Please let me know.

PS. CRNAs: How was the two years you were in school?

This is exactly the route I am hoping to pursue... its inspirational to see he was so successful!

I want to know what hospital pays their nurses $60K/yr starting out with no experience and an associates degree

I also have been thinking about going this route recently. I'm a junior in college and still can't seem to get into our BSN since it is really competitive. So I have been thinking of going somewhere else to get my ADN.

And Amferreira5 I don't think it will look bad. I think they will just see how determined you are to get into CRNA school. And I also think they may not care how you got your BSN just that you have it as well as your ICU experience. I don't know though that's just how I feel about it.

My education is somewhat similar to his. I graduated from an ADN program, took 3 years, with pre-reqs and clinicals. After graduating from my community college, I worked for a couple of months, and applied to a private school to earn my BSN.

Guess what, it did not cost me a dime to attend the BSN. Now I will work awhile, before I go for my MSN. Now I am loan-free, working, and saving every dime.

If anyone can go that route - GREAT!!!

And you guys work where? What state are you in?
