Crna plus an msn

(Not sure if this should be in this thread or the srna thread so apologize if the wrong one!)


I definitely want to go to crna school- however if I don’t get in this upcoming year and get into a CNL program- something else I’m interested in- would it be worth it to get the MSN while I wait to get into school? (My hospital pays for education as long as you are working full time )

    Hello @RN001,

    We moved your topic to the SRNA forum.

    Good luck.

    The vast majority of programs will not allow you to transfer more than two classes from your MSN. I took advantage of the tuition reimbursement offered at my job and took two and stopped after that.

    Sorry I wasn’t super clear, I would end up finishing the degree while waiting to apply and get into the schools I want to , some of the programs are 12-15 months , and I am planing to start applying to schools either January 2020 or January 2021 depending on my GRE scores So wouldn’t start until January 2021 or 2022 for CRNA school (hopefully!!!!!)

    Yes I understood your original post and intent to finish. Which is why I wanted to make it clear, that even if you finish a MSN, you will have to repeat many of these classes while doing your DNP for CRNA school. Also you should be aware that CRNA schools have a great variance in when their programs start and applications open. Some programs recruit two years in advance.

    If I was you, I’d work and save as much as possible. That will benefit you more in an anesthesia program.

    Very little benefit.

    Like mentioned above - you might be able to get credit for a couple classes.

    That was the case for me. I could have transferred in grad level nursing research and theory courses. It would have lightened my load, but tuition would have been the same, so I didn’t take them ahead of time.

    Now getting a whole unnecessary degree - that just seems crazy - even if it was completely free.
