Help with anesthetist school question please!

Nursing Students SRNA

Published

Hello everyone, please dont kill me for posting this, I've searched high and low for the past week or so, and haven't dared to post without searching. However, i haven't really found much on my question. Okay here it goes: When applying to Anesthetist school, what will the admissions people look at? Will they really care what school I got my BSN from or just look at my grades and character? My reason is because i am in process of selecting the pre-requsites for my transfer school. My dream is to go to Cal State Fullerton then years after RN experience, become a CRNA through CSUF and Kaiser Permanente's program. My only concern is that maybe they would accept a student from USC, UCLA or another "better" school than a Cal State.

Thanks for your help in advance,

-Pete

I came from one of the south's biggest partying schools, even surpassing The University of Georgia. They accepted me just fine.

Get your BSN, get your grades to par, and it's what you do after graduation that makes you a candidate, NOT where your school was.

Thanks for your input, that makes me feel good. So many discouraging people out there telling me not to go to a Cal State.

The California State University system is excellent and produces excellent nurses as well. It seems like at least 1/4 of my classmates (at Kaiser) are CSU grads (myself included), those that aren't are probably mostly from out of state.

UCLA and USC are fine by the way, but cost a whole lot more.

Good luck

Specializes in ICU, UT knoxville, CRNA Program, 01/07.

BSN schools, whatever School, gives you the tools for an RN career. You then use that career and grad classes to build up for CRNA school. See hwere i am going here; A bsn is a BSN whether you paid $14,000 or $60,000 or more. what you take away from a program is up to you. Dont be duscuraged, Good luck
