4 year degree preference?

Sep 20, 200421 yr

Hello, I am new to this site and new to nursing....in fact, I just started my nursing program this month.

My goal is to become a Nurse Anesthetist, and I was wondering if anyone could tell me if there is preference for acceptance into anesthetism programs given to nurses who received their BSN from a university as opposed to nurses who have undergone an RN to BSN program? The reason I ask is that I am pursuing an ADN at my community college, and I intend to earn my BSN through a bridge program after graduation. I would have liked to have gone to a university for a 4 year program, but I didn't have the funds, plus I wanted to start working as a nurse as soon as possible (I've had to move back home in order to attend the ADN program full time).

I was just wondering if it will matter where and how I obtained my BSN when it comes time to apply to schools for anesthetism programs. Any info. appreciated.

Thanks!
