CCRN and CRNA???

[gators77]

Does having your CCRN improve your chances on getting into CRNA school? I plan on applying to CRNA school within the next year and was wondering how much having my CCRN would help me get into school.

thanks in advance!

Several programs, now require the CCRN for the first time and definatley for the second time applying. As others have mentioned, it cannot hurt to have the CCRN certification. I would recommend anyone thinking of going into Nurse Anesthesia, they along with the GRE prep and exam, to also prep for and take the CCRN exam. I used the Pass CCRN 2nd edition and the AACN core curriculum for critical care nursing as study aids to prep for the CCRN exam, took it and passed with a 95% average.

Good luck
