Nurse Anesthetist Schools

There are over 110 Nurse Anesthetist Schools and CRNA Programs in the US and it can be a very daunting and challenging task to select the one that is the best fit for You. Our goal with this website is to guide you in this selection process and provide you with all the up to date information required to make an informed decision.

The most common way of selecting a CRNA School is to pick the closest one to home. Although this can be tempting we urge you to put a bit more effort into evaluating the best fit for you. Apart from the geographical location of the School there are many other factors to consider like the cost of the school, the requirements and how difficult it is to get into the program and also the reputation of the program.

 

  • School Reputation and Rank. This can be very important when you apply for job later since employers might favor applicants with Nurse Anesthetist degrees from some schools over others. It can also affect your salary level.
  • Totals Cost of the CRNA degree. This include tuition fees & other program costs but also factor in cost of living and other expenses (like travel).
  • Program Requirements. All CRNA programs have different requirements and some might be more difficult to get into. It can therefore be of value to consider a school that better fits your qualification & grades.
