Mandatory DNP for CRNA's by 2015

[marvinskbaby1]

I'm currently enrolled in by second year in my BSN program and my future plans are to become a CRNA. With this new law does anyone now how long it will take to get a DNP in this area? I've searched the net looking for programs with a doctorate in this area and have yet to find one. Does anyone know whats going to happen?

There is one thing to consider here. Even if they make this law (which it isn't) it will only effect those that are going to be CRNA at or around 2015. If you will have a master's before then, you don't have to go back unless you want to be a program director. I was told at the Texas Association of Nurse Anesthetists conference in march that you can still teach with a PhD in any subject. You just can't be the director or asst. director. Just adjunct faculty. Plus, there are plenty of CRNAs with certificates so its not about the degree.

exactly thats what i mean. whats up with the planned degree inflation?
