BSN or B. S. In Chemistry?

Published

Hello everyone and thank you for taking the time to read this! I'm one semester away from graduating my ADN program and plan to go to a CRNA program. I would like to know if any of you got a bachelors in Chemistry before applying or just applied with a BSN.. and how you are fairing. Thank you!

Why would you get a Bachelors in Chemistry first? The BSN plus the nursing experience is what is required.

I have a bachelors in chemistry from 2003. Don't do it. Not worth it.

I have a BS and MS in analytical chemistry from back in the early 1980's; the crappy chemistry job market back then is what set me on the retraining path that made me end up where I am today. I don't see where an undergrad chemistry degree is going to be of any value in the nursing profession or entry into CRNA school. The chemistry job market today is pretty much as bad as it was when I graduated, so you should not get a chemistry degree as a backup job plan.

Pre-red for anesthesia school = BSN. Go to a few schools websites and look at their admissions requirements.
