none.

all programs require at least 1 year of CC experience to be completed prior to the start of the program. all programs also require a BA/BS though not necessarily in nursing. some will only accept a BSN while others will accept a BA/BS in a different field with a ADN.

You must have ICU experience (minimum 1 year) to get into Columbia U. (check the website). Students who got into the Anesthesia program as part of the ETP (they receive a bachelors in 1 year and then move on to a Masters specialty) must have 1 year of ICU experience but can have it completed prior to clinicals. They have to be interviewed, etc., and I guess they prove that they are able to handle the coursework based on the fact they were successful in the bachelors portion of the program. I'm not sure how successful they are in completing the Anesthesia portion, but everyone must have 1 year ICU experience, and it must be documented and recorded because the AANA has to review this info.

CRNA without a BSN? Some programs will allow acceptance into a CRNA program with a 2-year ADN if you have a bachelor's in a related field...maybe 10% of the programs. How many programs offer CRNA acceptance without nursing experience? None.

Oh thats an easy one, just send in 2 proofs of purchase from your cereal boxes and you will definitely get into the program! :trout:

Give me a break. An advanced nursing degree without nursing experience. People always want something for nothing! How about going to nursing school for 2-4 years. Get Atleast one year of experience in the critical care area, and then think about CRNA school.

none that I know of..there are plenty of people that meet all the requirements and are struggling to get in. If they ask for it it isn't worth your time to apply without .....or money.
