anyone have a list of CRNA schools?

Published

Specializes in no specialty! (have to graduate first!).

I've been looking around the interent for CRNA school and really haven't found that many. I've found probably about 20 schools or so. Is CRNA schools just not in abundance?

Anywho, I was wondering if anyone had a list of schools they could give me or point me in the right direction to a good website or any resource for that matter. And if you have a recommendation for a good school.

Thanks!!

Specializes in ICU.

If you go to http://www.aana.com and click on "Becoming a CRNA" in the left column, the bottom option is "Accredited Programs." You can search by state or see all of them. There are only 105 (maybe 106) in the country.

http://www.anesthesia-nursing.com/school.html This site lists all anesthesia schools in the US. However, this list shows that there is a new school in Columbus Ohio. I'll contacted the school listed and they said it was a mistake.

As above, aana.com lists all accredited programs.

I don't think there is any best school, but what is best for you. I suggest you look for a program where you get regional anesthesia experience-go for 50 spinals and 50 epidurals. Experience in basic regional techniques will increase your employment options when you graduate. Experience at several clinical sites is nice, it makes you a more thoughtful and flexible CRNA becuase you will see different ways of doing the same case. Be wary of programs that take more students in than they have clinical sites, that means someone has to go. Talk to recent graduates of CRNA programs, they have a better perspective on their education than students in programs. Don't pay too much attention to the US News and World rankings, they aren't worth much. Good luck!

Like the previous sites mentioned, this site is also helpful, it lists the CRNA schools by rank, cost, and state:

http://www.all-crna-schools.com

There are actually about 108 schools in the US, only about 7 are found in the west, which might be why you are having a hard time finding a school in your area.

Good Luck!

There are many factual errors on this site, and also many errors in grammar. The most accurate list of programs is at www.aana.com click on Becoming a CRNA, and then Accredited programs.
