Does it matter where you get your BSN?

I've got an ADN and I'm working in an ICU. I want to become a CRNA. The question I have is, does it matter where I get my BSN? You've got online programs that take a year or even less. I know one guy getting his BSN from Chamberlain (accredited) and it's only gonna take 24 weeks. All the campus RN to BSN programs seem to take 2 years at least. How much does where you get your BSN play into A) how successful you'll be at CRNA school, and B) how CRNA schools selection committees view prospects CRNA students.

Thanks in advance,

Salesman

As long as the program is accredited it does not matter where you get your BSN degree.

I don't think it matters at all. I have a friend who got her BSN from some school in Oklahoma that I had never even heard of and she got into PENN. Assuming you meet the GPA requirements, it's all about experience and how well you interview. Get as much work experience as you can taking care of very sick patients and also try and obtain the CCRN. Schools use things like certifications to differentiate between 2 applicants with similar qualifications.

Thanks for asking, I had the same question!

Most are accredited by "southeastern so-and-so," but check to see if they are also NLN accredited, most are not. AANA told me to check for that.
