Do CRNA schools care where you went to school for your BSN?

Published

Hello, 

I'm going back to school and I'm torn between a distance aBSN at Emory University (ranked #1) and an aBSN at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs (ranked #96). 

Forgive my ignorance, but will a CRNA school care about BSN school rankings, assuming all grades are the same? I come from a graduate background where it mattered. 

The CRNA school I have my eye on is located on the UCCS campus (Rosalind Franklin), if that makes a difference. UCCS would also be about half the price... 

Thank you so much!

I doubt it as long as it's not pass or fail and it's accredited

Correct! Double check that the accreditation for the aBSN program meets the requirements for the CRNA school(s) you're interested in and ensure it's not a pass/fail program. 

You got this @rainey246!!
