Which is best for CRNA?

[talknw]

Hi, would someone please shed some light on whether it is better to go to a family nurse practitioner or acute care nurse practitioner program that would give the best chance at gaining acceptance into a CRNA program? I know the requirements for CRNA, eg. one year critical care, etc., but I'd like to get my nurse practitioner certificate, either FNP or ACNP before going to a CRNA program. Thanks in advance!

I don't think that NP is a certificate, it is a Masters Program (2 years I think). soon to be a doctorate program.

If you already have your MSN, you can go back for a post-masters certificate. You don't earn another MSN.
