MNA vs MSNA

I've been accepted into a CRNA program that offers an MNA degree. I still have 2 interviews lined up for other schools. One is a DNP and the other school is a MSNA. I might want to teach in the future and I see most CRNA teaching jobs require an MSN. Do you think they'd hire me with a MNA degree?

Any input would be appreciated!

Thanks,

That all depends. If the school in which you want to teach is in a school of nursing, your MSNA may keep you from getting the job. They might not be able to hire you, even if they want to, with an MNA or MSNA.

I called the COA and AANA about this. They told me it all depends on the employer and every company/hospital or university is different. The COA advised very seriously that I go for a DNP because they are trying to make that a requirement for all schools now.
