Westminster CRNA program

Published

Hello,

Does anyone know anything about the Westminster CRNA program in Salt Lake City, UT? I've researched it online and it seems to be a quality program, but who am I to judge. I want to stay in this location, but at the same time I don't want to **** away my time and effort at an inferior program. Any input from CRNAs(maybe even graduates of the program) would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.

I was also interested in applying to Westminster in order to continue to live in the SLC area. However, after I did my research nearly half of the clinical sites are out of state. So who's to say if you have to uproot and got to Idaho or Colorado for clinicals. This made me decide to look elsewhere.

I have also seen people say they are having a hard time finding work as a new grad crna in the area as well. I don't see any positions on gaswork.

I would contact the school, see if you can speak to any recent grads and also research the program if you are worried about clinical sites, etc.

good luck to you

I applied. Hopefully it's as good as people say... and even more hopefully, I get in.. lol

Rotations are all over the place and I'm not excited about that part--especially since I'm uprooting my wife and furbaby.

It's not easy finding a place with a dog either. But it's all part of the game and worth it when it's all said and done.

I'll be relocating once school is over, and they do have a 100% employment statistic, So I'm not worried about the job market part.

Every program has a 100% employment rate- and I'm not exaggerating. The job market is wide open. You will have more options if you're comfortable doing regional anesthesia and working independently.
