Bachelor Degree for CRNA

Published

I'm planning on getting my under grad that will lead me to eventually get a Masters to become a CRNA. Everything I've read says you need a Bachelor of Science in Nursing to get a Masters in nursing. I'd like to get a degree that will allow me to become a CRNA, but also a degree I can use to fall back on if I don't want to go into nursing. So whats a bachelor degree besides a BSN I can acquire for a CRNA?

Do you have a source for this? All I can find are recommendations for requiring a doctorate; not that it has become a requirement for practice.
