There are some schools that offer a BSN-DNP for CRNA, but you have to be accepted into one of these schools to become a CRNA. There are specific licensure exams for each of the specialty areas. CRNA graduate programs often have increased standards and one will need to maintain a high GPA, good experience, good letters of recommendations, and additional science-based courses such as chemistry, physics, and other courses depending on where you look. Hope this helps make things clearer for you! * I am a BSN nursing student and have done extensive research on several different graduate programs.

Congratulations on being accepted into a program. I am from the Midwest and not familiar with either programs. I can, however, answer your question regarding any special circumstances for males in nursing. I am currently in a BSN program and haven't experienced any real adversities. At my school the professors are very encouraging and push for males to be in nursing. I do hear women often say that men should do ALL of the heavy lifting, other than that just work hard and you'll be treated well! If you are not used to reading you will want to get into the habit of it (by reading I mean read ALL of the matieral and take good notes!).
