I got my ADN from a school that is nationally accredited. Nationally accredited is not as good as regionally accredited. State school/universities are regionally accredited. I am now in the process of getting my RN to BSN from a regionally accredited school that is also CCNE accredited, (University of Wyoming). My worry is that no matter how high a GPA I get, the ADN coming from a lower accreditation may be a hindrance when applying to CRNA school. Can someone shed some light on this for me? Are they even going to care where I got my ADN from, as long as my BSN is from a highly accredited and accepted school? What about people who were diploma nurses going on to get a bachelors and then on to CRNA school? Are there any of you out there that can shed some light on this for me?
Thanks. BTW, I am working now in a mixed 40 bed ICU and loving every minute of it. By the time I get done with BSN I'll have several years ICU under my belt.
CRNA, DNSc

Won't really impact you as long as your BSN is appropriately accredited.

Hi Maghunter,
I have been following your postings that you have posted. I wanted to ask you several questions about the school you attended for the your RN program. Is it possible if you can send me a private message? I added you as a friend but was not able to send you a private message due to the lack of postings.
I really need some advice about the RN school you attended.
Thank you so much.
