Sedation Certification for CRNA School

Hello!

I was just wondering what would make me stand out to CRNA schools with my certifications. I know CSRN is not nationally recognized as the CCRN/CSC/CMC is but I was wondering if getting the CSRN will make me look better for school? I went through one application cycle already and would just like to see what makes me look like a better/more motivated candidate. Already have the CCRN and in the process of getting my CSC. Thanks for all your help, guys.

More than likely that will not help at all.  If you want to stand out the 2nd time around I would try and take a grad level course in pharm, physiology or take a biochem course.  You get an A in one of those or a few of them it will show you have the ability to do well in graduate level course work and show that you took the extra initiative to make your application better.  Having the CSRN really isn't improving your stats all that much at all.
