Any MSN programs left?

Published

Hi guys. Does anyone know if there are any MSN CRNA programs left that haven't converted to the DNP program yet? I truly hate the idea of a 3 year program thanks to being a single gal with a mortgage. It makes me incredibly nervous to be out of work for that long. I'm open to moving for a program if necessary (which it probably will be).

Thanks everyone!

FSU in Panama City is the only one I’ve researched.

Unfortunately it looks like they are hoping to make their next cycle part of the DNP program, starting summer 2021.

All programs must be at DNP when classes start Jan 1 2022 for the 2025 deadline which doesn't leave much time for the MSN programs to switch over to DNP. You are seeing more and more switching each year in preparation for the AANA 2025 mandate. A few that I have looked at apply to that were MSN last year are seeking their DNP accreditation this year.

You can find a complete list of programs at the COA School Search. You can sort by degree.

Don't do it. You are going to be one of the last ones to get a masters. That sounds more nerve racking then taking out more student loans. If you were to go back and get your doctorates you will be paying a premium and have to invest so much more time then just doing it initially. I'm going to have 250k in debt when done and I am not stressed about it at all. I will have it paid off in 8 years tops. Student loans aren't as evil as the media makes them out to be. That is if you have job security and a good salary which CRNAs are guaranteed ?

Westminister in salt lake utah is still a MSN if you aren't convinced. I was from there and intentionally avoided this program though. Costs just as much as the average DNP program. Also, they make you move every three months, all over the western US, during your second year to get clinical experience since CRNAs are not utilized very much in Utah. I did not even apply.
