Do CRNA Programs frown on online BSNs?

Published

I'm currently in an ADN nursing program, and am planning on completing a BSN through an online program as soon as I finish.

Do CRNA programs frown on online BSNs? I could complete an online BSN in by taking 10-11 courses, much more quickly than the two full years I'd need to do a BSN course at any of the schools local to me. However, I don't want to shoot myself in the foot by getting a BSN that's looked down upon by CRNA program admissions.

I can't say for sure, but I have heard from other people that some programs don't give as many points for an on-line BSN when they calculate your score for CRNA school. I have no idea if this is true, so I'd just call some of the CRNA programs and ask them.
