Will I ever become a CRNA?

Published

Hi

As embarrassing as it sounds, up to this date I thought I could become a CRNA after finishing my Bachelor of Nursing, getting a RN license, 1 years ICU experience but now that I have realized that you have to have a BSN degree to get into a CRNA program, I am really ****** at myself.

My Nursing program starts in July and I know there is nothing I can do, even if I can I wouldn't because I do not want to miss this intake too. Can you tell me what can I do after finishing my bachelor of nursing that will make me eligible for a CRNA program?

Thank you for your inputs in advance.

I believe a bachelor's in nursing is a bsn. Correct me if I am wrong, I am sorry... I didn't know a bachelor's in nursing to be anything else..

I don't understand your worry? You are doing it right. Just keep your grades up through the program and be on your way!

What exactly do you think a BSN is?

Yes, but I am doing Bachelor of Nursing.

BSN and BN are totally different things, right?

I am so sorry if these questions sound juvenile to you but I just want to make things clear, even if I make an orifice of myself.

They are the same thing. A bachelor's in nursing is a bachelor of science degree.

There's a BSN (Bachelors of Science of Nursing) and a BS in Nursing. Both essentially the same thing but I think it depends on whether you go to a school that has simply a nursing major/department or a "school of nursing" at the school itself.

I think you are fine. If you have any doubt, just call your school and find out. That will ease your mind.

I've never heard of a BN; in fact, I don't think it exists...a Bachelor's must be a B.A. (of arts) or B.S. (of science, which nursing would fall into). The only exception I can think of is music which is a B.M.. Anyway, you're on the right track.

go to google and type in CRNA admission requirements.........takes about 3.5 seconds. and if you are confused about what degree you are going to school....ummmmm.....might wanna contact the dean of your program and ask.

No, I am in Australia.

I get what BSN is, but I have checked out almost every single university's website and they only offer Bachelor of Nursing as an Undergraduate course.

Bachelor of Nursing(keeping in mind that I am in Australia)= BSN, right?

Thanks for your inputs, people. But still, things are not clear.
