Obviously CRNA is my end-game here. I'm looking to take a couple graduate level classes after finishing my BSN (Already an ADN working in SICU for a year now). Any recommendations?

The University of Cincinnati offers graduate level nursing courses such as Advanced Pathophysiology and Advanced Pharmacology. The courses are offered online. They may be a little pricey, but if you have the extra cash to invest in the courses, I would say this would be a viable option for you. Best wishes!

I took Advanced Pathophysiology and Biochemistry, both Graduate level. I also plan to enroll in an Advanced Nursing Theory course as it is in the curriculum for one of the programs I am aiming for. All highly recommended amongst SRNAs I have spoken with as well as various program directors.

1. If you have schools you are interested in for whatever reason (can't move so only plan on applying to schools nearby) then call them and check to see if they recommend classes to take before applying and, just as important, which classes they will let you transfer credits from into the program.
2. If you're not sure what schools you will apply to, advanced patho and/or advanced pharm are good bets. They are core courses in most programs.
