Hello! I wanted to start off by saying thank you to all that contribute to this forum. Even though I do not post I am in here everyday getting as much information as I can and for that I am so grateful to you guys. I just have a quick question. I am almost finished with my prereqs for nursing:yeah: I have been out of school for a while so I had a slow start. Ok my question is can I get my ADN in Nursing and my Bachelor's in Chemistry and still apply for the CRNA program or does my Bachelors have to be in Nursing also? Thanks!

depends on the requirements for the CRNA school. They probably have a website.

Hello, idfelix! Since this is such an important question, the best thing is to contact the CRNA program directly and ask the same question. Perhaps they have a website.

Depends upon the program. Some will be happy to accept someone with an ADN and a BS in Chemistry. If you go to AANA.com and look at the list of programs, look for those who give a degree in something other than Nursing. Many programs give a MS in Nurse Anesthesia, or Biology, or Education. Those programs do not need to require a BSN. Some of the MSN programs have options as well.
