CRNA-wanna-be wants to know RN or BSN???

Nursing Students SRNA

Published

hi everyone, changing careers at 35 (previous business development and marketing experience), i'm currently finishing my aa nursing pre-major (4.0 student) and can't decide to go for rn or bsn, being that crna is my final goal. i have been told by a crna that i should get the rn, get icu experience while i get my bsn and then apply for crna school. she argued that one would get more clinicals with rn and more "managerial" with bsn. and a good crna needs both. but another crna told me to just apply for a fast track to bsn and that rn school is not really needed. i need to star applications and i am very confused as the counselors at my community college keep pushing me towards rn and the counselors at the the local university push for a bsn... i want to do the right thing, please help! :bugeyes:

Brazuca, you are right!! As far as the shadowing, I meant I'd do it after I have my BSN. I've contacted the new local hospital which btw is huge, high end techonology, the whole 9 yards. LArgest ICU in the area. I know that's where I would like to work. I'm going to then lock into the contract (they pay for school, you work for them afterwards) just to garantee a job at graduation... As far as getting to ICU, all I can do is my best , and hope for alittle luck. :-) Thanks again!

Mursebryan, Unfortunetly, there are no CRNAs in Brazil... :-(
