What was your Undergraduate Major?

Nursing Students SRNA

Published

Just curious what type of background RNs applying to CRNA school typically have. Did you originally complete a BSN your first time around, or complete an ABSN program after finishing undergrad? If you went the ABSN route, what did you major in during your undergrad?

FYI, some of the DNP programs require that you must have a BSN in nursing for entrance, so if you plan on going that route be prepared.

BS General Science, Post Bach Teaching Cert, just over half an Education MA, BSN, and CRNA school in the fall! I took the long convoluted route. :) I know plenty of folks that went the ADN- BSN route. I think they were smart. A friend of mine went and did her ADN, applied right to an ADN-BSN program, and got right into the ICU. She applied to CRNA school the same month she graduated with her BSN and got in. Smart chic! She got 3 years of ICU experience under her belt and wasted no time. Took her just 5 years, which is how long it takes most just to complete their first undergrad degree. Food for thought. Good luck!

Does seem like a good way to do it! How crazy was her schedule working in an ICU while getting her BSN?

Another question: How did she manage to find a job in an ICU as a new grad with only an ADN???
