ETP- Columbia Nurse Anesthesia Hello Everyone, Is anyone here applying for the ETP- Anesthesia program ? Where else areyou guys applying? I only found Columbia and UPenn with this kind of program. Hope to hear from prospective applicatants soon. :)

Hi Cheezy, Considering you posted a year ago, did you already decide whether to do combined BSN/MSN track or did you decide to do the general entry masters? If so why? I'm in the same situation you were in. I hold a bachelors in a non nursing field and ultimately hope to be a CRNA. I would rather do a combined BSN/MSN or general entry masters route instead of going to school to be an RN, working a year, and then reapplying to nurse anesthesia schools. Do the general entry to nursing programs you mentioned offer nurse anesthesia as a specialty? Also, The list of schools you provided for the combined BSN/MSN a complete list? Thank you so much for your help. I hope to hear from you soon.

Hey All, I'm sorry what I meant was a program that will let me get my BS and MS in nursing. Columbia's programs is around four years and you get a BS and then an MS in a specialty you choose (nurse anesthesia is an option). It's a combined BS/MS program. Are there any other programs like that for students holding bachelors in others fields? Thanks a lot everyone :wink2: Ps. Also, does any one know how practical programs like DePaul and Rush's masters programs are please let me know. They offer masters in nursing to non nursing degree holders. I belive Rush's program is called GEM (General Entry Masters to Nursing) and DePaul's MENP (Masters Entry to Nursing Practice). After going through this program I can sit to take the NCLEX. BUT..... Will I be able to obtain a job in acute care if I go through these masters programs or will I have a difficult time finding a job? I know that it will be hard enough for students who go through the traditional RN/BSN track track to find a job in acute care in this economy. What are my odds if I do the MENP or GEM program? I guess it's better to find out early. If someone can help me please do. All suggestions welcome. More karma pts. for anyone who can help.

Hi, I recently graduated from a university with a BA in Psychology. I wanted to know if there are any programs that will let me get a Masters in Nursing with a speciality in Anesthesia for non nursing degree holders. I know Columbia University in New York does! Any other programs? Please let me know. I couldn't find any besides Columbia. I'm hoping someone will help me out so I can start the application process. I welcome all suggestions.
