CRNA Requirments

[williamskatie2016]

Hi! I thought that you only had to have a BSN and a year or two of ICU experience to be a CRNA. However, I've read a couple things that say you have to have a MSN. Is that true? If so, has that always been the case? Thanks in advance :)

You may want to look into the requirements of the individual schools that you are interested in applying to. Schools may not all have the same requirements.

There is actually a forum here for students in CRNA programs. Perhaps they could help you out.

That's what you need (bare minimum baseline) to be considered for CRNA school.
