Is a community college okay to go to?

I think it would matter more where you got your BSN at and overall GPA and work experience. I dont see how a ADN would matter since its the BSN youll need to get in.

I don't think that should be a problem.

Community college is just fine for getting in. To find out for sure, contact the school that has the program you are interested in attending and ask them what their admission criteria are. Is it grades? Is it personal interview? Is it references? That is the important question.

Also, it is so freakin' difficult to get into nursing school that I'm just grateful I got in ANYWHERE. Unfortunately we aren't in a position to be picky - or at least I'm not.

I don't see why it would, since you'll have to achieve/be accepted for your Bachelor's before you can pursue the Master's. Maybe I'm wrong here, but a nurse is STILL a nurse, whether they received a diploma, Associate's or Bachelor's degree -- we all take the same NCLEX.

That said, the BEST way to get a straight and definitive answer would be to look up and call a school or two that teach the CRNA curriculum and ask them. And best to do this BEFORE you get into a program, since not all credits are transferable between schools/programs.

Good luck!

I went to a community college for my ADN and then transferred to a University for my BSN (just like you plan on doing) and I will start CRNA school this fall at Northeastern University in Boston. So no, I don't think it will hurt your chances at all.
