So for those of you that HAVE graduated and DO have CRNA liscensure, what qualities would you say (if you had to prioritize them) are important for choosing a school. I am polling several sources and have a list of my own improtant factors but would love to hear what is important for those who have made the leap now that you can look back.

NO online courses. The ability to problem solve with an expert at your side is priceless. If they can't teach you in a classroom, they shouldn't be open,IMHO, and collecting thousands of dollars per course.

well could you shed more light as to HOW you chose a school. There is obviously the financial factor, but does rank matter? Do clinical sites matter or is it more about hours of clinicals? Is picking a front loaded program better? Should I pick a school based upon whether I think I will get a job in the area (as in-same state)...questions like that.

I do not have enough "posts" to p.m. people on the site yet so I attempted to add you.

That's too complicated for one person to answer. Google nurse-anesthesia websites and you will find one that will have lots of discussion on that topic.
