applying to CRNA: ADN & BSN-C transcripts

Nursing Students SRNA

Published

Hello everyone,

I took the associate's degree in nursing in a specific college. Expecting the same quality education, I began their BSN-C just to find out two semesters after that, although I was getting good grades, I was not learning anything and I had to constantly "teach" APA 6th edition to my nursing teachers directing them to the APA manual. Since I was paying a substantial amount of money, I decided to transfer schools and take a hybrid BSN completion program (although the non-nursing classes were excellent). That being said, I have a transcript from an institution with a complete associate's degree and two semesters of BSN-C (in these two semesters I took communication, statistics, arts, and pathophysiology). Now, when I finish my BSN completion I will a transcript with nursing classes from this another institution. I know the GPA is important for a student to be competitive when applying to a CRNA program. I also know that statistics is an important class to apply to this program.

However, when I read some admissions for CRNA programs they say to submit the transcripts for the BSN. However, I want them to know I had an excellent performance during my ADN and that I took some other non-nursing classes as important as Statistics and had an A in the class. Therefore, if some in a similar situation applied to a CRNA program...how did that work? Did you send transcripts of every institution (ADN, BSN completion, and other possible classes) or just the BSN completion?

Although every institution may be different in what they required, I am curious to know how that worked for some of you. Thank you!

When you apply through NursingCAS, it has you submit transcripts from every post high school. Pretty sure all other non NursingCAS school will have you do the same thing. Even if you took a random class at a community college they'll know. So yes, they'll see all of the grades.

I meant every school after high school. So even if you took one class at a community college

jja224,

Thank you for your comment. It makes me feel better that they will be able to see all my college classes and grades. Actually, in my opinion, it makes sense that some admissions committee would like to see everything I have done but I happened to read otherwise in some places... However, thank you for sharing your experience, it helps! :)
