School Selection

Published

For all you CRNAs and SRNAs, I'd like to know what were the factors about the school you selected that weighed heaviest in your decision making, and why.

The students attending had nothing but high praise for the program. Other programs seemed to have more dissatisfaction among their students. Also, the breadth of clinical rotations.

I researched Cal State Fullerton, Kaiser School of Anesthesia. Great reputation for graduates. Well rounded education. 15, yes I said, 15 clinical sites! and the best part... no GRE! Program is 24 months, year round. Rumor has it, next year changes to 36 months, though. 240 applicants a year, accepts 30. I did get accepted this year and am very excited. Let me know if you'd like more information.
