   DashEFX replied to ariel26's topic in CRNA

   Is your main concern time or what you are doing? I am reading these posts confused as hell as I have contemplated the same thing. Of course the CRNAs in my area talk about the hard work during their masters program...however all are very encouraging....

    Columbia University DEFINITELY has a direct-entry to MSN Nurse Anesthesia specialty. The total program is 3.5 years and I believe incorporates the mandatory year of critical care experience. They do not have a prerequisite of one year of critical car...
