Admission criteria include for columbia:

Current New York State nursing license or eligibility

Bachelor's degree in nursing from an NLN or CCNE accredited program

Minimum of one year experience in an intensive care setting

Satisfactory score on the Graduate Record Exam (GRE)

An undergraduate course in statistics

A physical assessment course

Two semesters of Chemistry (at least one organic course) and one semester of physics

Three references attesting to the applicant's academic ability and potential

Personal goal statement that is congruent with program goals (two pages, double-spaced, 12 pt. font)

Resume or Curriculum Vitae

If u meet the requirements the hardest thing is paying for it.

which school would be better for me to get my nursing degree in i after i wanted to become a nurse anesthesis? Molloy, Adelphi, or possbily Stony Brook?

i don't think school matter as much as much as gpa. i think columbia reqiures 1 years of icu experience as a rn. they prefer 2yrs in cticu or a surgical icu or adult icu unit. have good reference and be well rounded
