Mountain State University CRNA. Anybody attending or know anything about?

Published

I am looking into attending CRNA school, and Mountain State University in West Virginia has my attention since it offers a distance learning program. I have never heard much about the program and I would love to hear from anyone attending. Do you like it? Is the online teaching enough, or do you feel like you are teaching yourself? The say they have accredidation,buit I believe they are only a certificate program not a masters degree is that correct? Is there an interview process and is it hard to be admitted? Any other info, or recommendations would be appreciated!!! thanks!!

They are currently on probation, and not allowed to admit a class until the probation is lifted. I know people in the program - my advice from listening to them is to go elsewhere.

I am pretty sure they have to offer a Master's degree with the program, but they are also on probation and not accepting new students at this time. http://crnaprogram.mountainstate.edu/

There are no certificate programs left in the US, only Masters-level or above.

The "distance learning" is the problem, it does not fit with nurse anesthesia. All nurse anesthesia programs are master's level, and have been for more than 10 years. Have you searched for information on Mountain State on here? there is quite a bit.

Distance learning is not the problem, poor execution of the program and the poor attitude of CRNAs toward students in general is the problem. The CULTure of nurse/anesthesia of "make it tough on them because it was tough on me " is asinine.

STAY AWAY from this vindictive, harassing school or get a lawyer early.

And expect to be gone from home for over a year and pay 200,000 to do it !
