Wayne State DNAP
Upon graduation from the CRNA program, you will receive a Wayne State University DNAP (Doctor of Nursing Practice – Anesthesia) degree. Certainly, CRNA master’s degrees will no longer be offered by CRNA schools from 2022. Therefore, all degrees offered from CRNA schools will be Doctor degrees such as:- DNP (Doctor of Nursing Practice)
- DNP-A (Doctor of Nursing Practice – Anesthesia)
- DNP-NA (Doctor of Nursing Practice – Nurse Anesthesia)
- DMPNA (Doctor of Management Practice – Nurse Anesthesia)
Wayne CRNA Program Course Load
The Wayne State DNAP degree program is based on an integrated course load. In other words, an integrated CRNA degree is one where clinical experience begins in the first year with both clinical hours and classroom lectures throughout the program length. On the other hand, this is different than a front loaded CRNA degree where the first year is considered mainly academic with classroom education while the remaining years are focused on clinical rotations. In general, there is no right or wrong method of teaching – roughly 33% of schools have integrated course loads in the first year and 67% are front loaded. Therefore, the trend of more clinical hours in the first year has been increasing in recent years as CRNA schools realize the importance of practical experience and knowledge sooner rather than later.Wayne State CRNA Program Class Size
To sum up, the Wayne University CRNA program class size is unpublished. To give a frame of reference, the average class size of CRNA programs across the nation is 24 CRNA students.Wayne CRNA Acceptance Rate & Admissions
The application deadline for the Wayne State CRNA program is on June 1. The Wayne State CRNA program accepts applications via NursingCas. The program charges an application fee of US$50, which is on par with the average CRNA application fee of US$61. In summary, the Wayne State CRNA acceptance rate is not published. As a comparison to other CRNA schools, the average CRNA school acceptance rate across the United States is 26%.Wayne CRNA Program Tuition
In-State tuition is US$78,965, which is considered cheaper than the average. The average In-State tuition for CRNA schools is US$89,490 in the United States. Out-of-State Tuition is US$145,665, which is considered very expensive. In fact this is one of the most expensive schools for out of State students in the country. The average Out-of-State tuition for CRNA schools is US$105,291 across the country. Above all, for both In-State and Out-of-State tuition, these tuition figures include the total cost of the entire program excluding living expenses. Consequently, after one year of living in many States, you would be considered an ‘In State’ resident for tuition purposes. In short, rules vary state by state. Therefore, please do additional research on this if you are applying as an Out-of-State CRNA student. To conclude, you might have to leave a tuition deposit once you are accepted into the Wayne State program. This is usually a one-time deposit and off-set with your tuition bill. Most CRNA schools charge this reservation fee and the average across the nation is US$1,358. The Wayne State reservation fee is US$1,000. Always remember that CRNA Scholarship programs do exist to help students with tuition.Wayne CRNA Program Additional Information

The really sad part about running this website to help potential CRNA students learn more about how to be a nurse anesthetist and how to choose the Best CRNA School is that I get negative criticism...
