Nurse Alexa, MSN, RN 120 Posts Specializes in ICU. Has 7 years experience. Mar 26 Hello there - UPENN I heard is like the Mecca of anesthesia and you are blessed to get in there. However, it is one of the more expensive schools. Scranton is more "reasonably" priced with also a great reputation. However, UPENN and other Ivy League Schools will open many doors for you. I had the choice between Columbia, Hartford and Hofstra and I chose Columbia for their vast networking potential and years of program success. Hope this helps 🙂

I went to Columbia years ago when the program accepted only 10 students and all classes were in the city. Today the students are farmed out to many locations without instructors o site. If Scranton kee in physical contact with your instructors, IMO, I would think it is a more cohesive program where you are getting what you paid for (instruction!). Whatever you decide, enjoy your program. Oh yes, graduate with the least debt you can.

They will have more information for you. Most foreign nursing programs cannot transfer 100% here and you might have to take some extra courses. Will India employ you with a CRNA degree from US? Do you even have a comprable position in India? Or is your idea to stay in US?

Each school will have their own extra requirements. Some are more lenient about physics, organic chemistry and others are more stringent. First you have to get the requirements for a US RN license in the particular state. where you are to go to school. Each state has their on idea of what's necessary. We are very backwards that way.
