How to get my CRNA & DNP

Published

Hello all! I have a few questions that I can't seem to get answered via Google :)! I am curently in the nursing program to get my ADN. However once I graduate I would like to continue my education. I know for sure I need to go and get my BSN and I have that part down, the only part I am confused on is how do I get my CRNA and DNP? I know that the CRNA is a Master Degree but is only offered at select schools. Once I get my CRNA do I just transfer to another school and do my DNP? Or is there an easier way to do this? I'm really confused and your reponses will be much apreciated!

Also, does any one have any advice on the CRNA or DNP programs? Good decision? Hard? Career oppurunites etc?

Thank you!

Depends on the school. Some nurse anesthesia schools are already making the switch to DNP/DNAP, and all you would have to do is stay with that school. There is at least one NA school that is offering a direct BSN to DNP program right now.
