I graduated college with a BS in Biology but have recently taken interest in becoming a CRNA. Now, I'm aware that most CRNA schools require a BSN with a handful of them accepting those with a BS in a related discipline - such as mine I presume. Now to my question:
Say, there are two students. Student A has a BSN and an RN license (obviously) and Student B (well, ok it's me) has a BS in Bio and an ADN (with an RN license of course). Both students have the exact same stats - same GPA, same GRE score, same experience, etc.
Would student A have a greater chance of being accepted just due to the BSN? Does it really matter considering they both have an RN license, a bachelors, and the exact same stats?
Bottom Line is you need a BSN and critical care experience (at least one year). I would take this seriously. It will be very difficult to get in without it. Not only do you need it for admission, but you need it for yourself to be competent as a student for CRNA.
