La Salle DNP

Upon graduation from the CRNA program, you will receive a Einstein Medical Center Montgomery at La Salle University DNP (Doctor of Nursing Practice) 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)

For instance, many healthcare professions, like Pharmacy, are also moving towards the doctorate degree as the entry level to enter the profession.

La Salle CRNA Program Course Load

The La Salle DNP degree program is based on a front loaded 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.

La Salle University CRNA Program Class Size

To sum up, the Einstein Medical Center Montgomery at La Salle University CRNA program class size is 22 students and considered average.  To give a frame of reference, the average class size of CRNA programs across the nation is 24 CRNA students.

In summary, the La Salle CRNA acceptance rate is 24% and is deemed competitive. As a comparison to other CRNA schools, the average CRNA school acceptance rate across the United States is 26%.

La Salle CRNA Program Tuition

In-State tuition is US$127,103, which is considered on the expensive side.  The average In-State tuition for CRNA schools is US$89,490 in the United States.

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 Emory program.  This is usually a one-time deposit and off-set with your tuition bill.

Always remember that CRNA Scholarship programs do exist to help students with tuition.

This is what real CRNAs had to say about the Hamot CRNA program:

I chose Hamot when I was already accepted in a master’s program, because Hamot was more hands on and was more valuable to me because of the skills that I needed. Hamot, at the time was a BS program and I was the only one that year with a BS degree in nursing. I don’t know about the other schools, but I do know that Hamot provided a lot of one on one teaching, and when I graduated, I was well prepared. I am now 73 years old and my skills have never been questioned. I’m still working. Two years ago I was working an average of 80 hours per week, and although these hours did not hinder me in any way,  I chose to work only 30-40 hours per week to give me more time for other things.

UPMC Hamot – Great cardiac experience but poor regional experience and [name of MD remove for privacy] is toxic.

Bloomsburg MSN

Upon graduation from the CRNA program, you will receive a Geisinger Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania MSN 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)

For instance, many healthcare professions, like Pharmacy, are also moving towards the doctorate degree as the entry level to enter the profession.

Bloomsburg CRNA Program Course Load

The Bloomsburg MSN 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.

Geisinger Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania CRNA Program Class Size

To sum up, the Geisinger Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania CRNA program class size is 12 students and considered very small.  To give a frame of reference, the average class size of CRNA programs across the nation is 24 CRNA students.

Bloomsburg CRNA Acceptance Rate & Admissions

The application deadline for the Bloomsburg  CRNA program is on July 1.  The Bloomsburg CRNA program does not accept applications via NursingCas, which means applicants will have to apply directly to the school.  The program charges an application fee of US$35, which is on par with the average CRNA application fee of US$61. In summary, the Bloomsburg CRNA acceptance rate is 24% and is deemed competitive. As a comparison to other CRNA schools, the average CRNA school acceptance rate across the United States is 26%.

Bloomsburg CRNA Program Tuition

In-State tuition is US$49,929, which is considered very affordable.  The average In-State tuition for CRNA schools is US$89,490 in the United States. Out-of-State Tuition is US$68,289, which is considered extremely affordable. 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 Bloomsburg  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 Bloomsburg does not have a reservation fee. Always remember that CRNA Scholarship programs do exist to help students with tuition.
