Question about nursing school. Univeristy or Business School?

Published

Hi, right now i'm a freshman at the university of Minnesota and I'm afraid I won't get into the nursing school there so I'm looking at other schools that offer a 3 year BSN program. I'm looking at a business school that offers a 3 year BSN program for about the same price as the university. Does it make a difference if i get a BSN at a university or a business school which is approved by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education if I want to become a nurse anesthetist? Thanks

You can ask this question over on the CRNA boards but from what I've read there over the last few years it wouldn't matter where you got your BSN. (By the way, why don't you think you'd get into the BSN program at UM?)

It might matter at some schools. Our MSN program, for example, only admits students from CCNE-accredited programs.

Thanks for replying and i'm sorry for the delay in response because i'm a new member and i haven't figured out all the links yet. To KsMICT, my gpa is not so great and i thought that i should apply to more than one nursing school if i don't get in at the U. Here's some statistics http://www.nursing.umn.edu/img/assets/11100/Undergraduate%20Admissions%202003-2008%20Table.pdf.

And to UVA Grad Nursing. the business school that offers the BSN program just got approved by the CCNE last year.
