Are there any part time crna programs other than UNC Charlotte and Rosalind?

Yes I found one the other week! University of North Carolina-Charlotte/CMC offers full time and part time CRNA program. The part time track is like 39 months!

Albany Med has a part-time option for the first year, which stretches that out, but full-time is required for the remainder of the program.

No. There are no part time programs in Florida. Of the nine programs in Florida, all of them are 28 months long (which is the average length) and they're all very much full time. Also, based on my research, none of them are ranked very high, and all of them discourage or don't allow you to work while in the program.

Rosalind Franklin University in Illinois offers a 39 month part time track, which makes it part time for 2 years and full time for the last year. DePaul University in Illinois says

"There is no clinical residency during the
first year
and SRNA's usually work
20-40hrs
.

During
clinical residency
(year 2-3), NATs in good academic standing are allowed to work a maximum of
16 hours/week
, however, very few SRNA's are able to work on a regular basis" (

Most programs recommend that you don't work. I was surprised to find one that willingly permits it! If it were me, I'd rather find a 24 month program and go full time than stretch it out over three years just so I could work part time during two of them, or go to DePaul and get the best of both worlds!
