Category: CRNA Schools by State

Mississippi, known as the Magnolia State, is ranked #30 in total number of CRNA Schools in the United States.  It shares the #30 CRNA School ranking with Washington, Utah, Iowa, South Dakota, Oregon, Rhode Island, and a few other States.  The State is well-known for its American charm, history, and culture.  Mississippi is the State where many popular music types originated, whether it be country, jazz, and rock.  Students at CRNA Schools in Mississippi appreciate the atmosphere full of history with Civil War battlefields and American influence.

Located in the South United States, Mississippi is part of the RN Compact States agreement.  This means RN nurses can move around freely and work within all 33 approved multi-license states.  However, it’s important to note that there is no such APRN Compact for nurse anesthetists yet though this may change in the future.

Nurse Anesthetist Programs in Mississippi

There is only one CRNA Programs in Mississippi located in the suburbs of Hattiesburg as shown below:

1. USM CRNA Program, Hattiesburg (Doctor of Nursing Practice)

USM, known as the University of Southern Mississippi, has had 3 cohorts, 4 full time faculty and approximately 20 students per cohort. As of Year End 2020, there are 122 CRNA schools in the United States and 2.4 CRNA schools in each State on average.  To compare, there are 13 CRNA schools in Pennsylvania and 9 CRNA schools in Florida.  In addition, South Carolina and Tennessee both have 6 CRNA schools.

On the other hand, there are no CRNA programs at all in Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Nevada, New Mexico, Vermont, New Hampshire, Alaska, and Hawaii.  Oftentimes, the States with more CRNA schools tend to have more CRNA jobs as well.  Unfortunately, the BLS does not publish the number of CRNA jobs in Mississippi.

CRNA Programs in Mississippi Acceptance Rate

The average acceptance rate for CRNA schools in Mississippi is 40%, which is extremely higher than the national acceptance rate of 26%.  The reason for USM CRNA Program being a very high acceptance rate is because the class size is quite large considering the number of qualified applicants applying to the CRNA school.  The class size is 20 students with approximately only 50 qualified applicants each year applying.  This may be a hidden gem for students looking for the easiest CRNA schools to get into.

Nurse Anesthetist Programs in MS Conclusion

To sum up, if you are interested in studying at CRNA Schools in Mississippi, there is only one school – the USM CRNA Program.  As there are not many CRNA programs in MS, I also recommend CRNA applicants also apply to CRNA Schools in North Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia and Florida.  USM is definitely a hidden gem for anesthesia students looking for the easiest CRNA schools to get into.

Pursuing a CRNA program in Mississippi may also make sense if you plan on staying within the State after graduation.  This is because it is common that a SRNA nurse can find nurse anesthetist jobs within the same State easier than students from out of State upon finishing school.

Washington, known as the Evergreen State, is ranked #30 in total number of CRNA Schools in the United States.  It shares the #30 CRNA School ranking with Rhode Island, Utah, Iowa, Missouri, Oregon, South Dakota, and a few other States.  Located in the Pacific Northwest region, the State is famous for its rainy weather and being the largest apple producer in the US.  The only CRNA schools in Washington are located in Spokane.  CRNA students there speak highly of the abundant outdoor scenery and activities, like local lakes, ski resorts and hiking at Spokane River Centennial Trail.

Washington is not part of the RN Compact States agreement that allows RN nurses to move around freely and work within all 33 approved multi-license states.  Because Washington State is not part of the RN Compact, it is very unlikely that they will be part of the future APRN Compact for nurse anesthetists.  This may be an important factor when people consider CRNA Schools in Washington.

Nurse Anesthetist Programs in Washington

There is only one CRNA Programs in Washington located in the city of Spokane as shown below:

1. Gonzaga CRNA, Spokane (Doctor of Nursing Anesthesia Practice)

The Gonzaga CRNA program is a partnership with the School of Anesthesia at Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center.  The school speaks highly of the low student to faculty ratio of 15:1, one of the lowest in the country as well as the excellent NCLEX exam pass rate – since 1979, only 1 person has failed the exam.  In addition, Gonzaga provides a unique Jesuit experience with a humanistic approach of community and exchange of knowledge.

CRNA Schools in Washington

As of Year End 2020, there are 122 CRNA schools in the United States and 2.4 CRNA schools in each State on average.  To compare, there are 13 CRNA schools in Pennsylvania and 9 CRNA schools in Florida.  In addition, South Carolina and Tennessee both have 6 CRNA schools.  On the other hand, there are no CRNA programs at all in Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Nevada, New Mexico, Vermont, New Hampshire, Alaska, and Hawaii.  Oftentimes, the States with more CRNA schools tend to have more CRNA jobs as well.  This rule of thumb also applies to Washington.  With only one CRNA school, Washington is ranked #21 in number of CRNA jobs in the US.

CRNA Programs in Washington Acceptance Rate

The average acceptance rate for CRNA schools in Washington is 6%, which is extremely lower than the national acceptance rate of 26%.  In fact, Gonzaga CRNA is the most competitive CRNA School in the entire United States.  The Gonzaga CRNA class size is very small and only 12 students are accepted with approximately 187 qualified applicants each year applying.  In general, the easiest CRNA schools to get into by State are generally in the States with more CRNA schools.  For example, the average acceptance rate for CRNA schools in Florida is 30% with 9 CRNA Schools.  Nurse anesthetist programs in Washington are the exact opposite being the most competitive in the country.

Nurse Anesthetist Programs in WA Conclusion

To sum up, if you are interested in studying at CRNA Schools in Washington, there is only one school – the Gonzaga CRNA.  The Gonzaga CRNA program is the #1 most competitive nurse anesthetist school in the entire country.  Students there appreciate the suburban feel of Spokane while being part of the unique Jesuit community.  As there are not many CRNA programs in WA, I also recommend CRNA applicants also apply to CRNA Schools in Oregon, California, Montana and Arizona.

Pursuing a CRNA program in Washington may also make sense if you plan on staying within the State after graduation.  This is because it is common that a SRNA nurse can find nurse anesthetist jobs within the same State easier than students from out of State upon finishing school.

All the CRNA schools in South Dakota are DNP Doctorate degrees.  There are no MSN master’s degrees offered any longer in South Dakota.  Mount Marty offers 2 CRNA programs, a BS to DNAP and a MS to DNAP.  What makes Mount Marty CRNA unique is they seek to integrate the Mount Marty University core values of awareness of God, community, hospitality and lifelong learning into their lives and into the nurse anesthetist programs in South Dakota.

Rhode Island, known as the Ocean State, is ranked #30 in total number of CRNA Schools in the United States.  It shares the #30 CRNA School ranking with Washington, Utah, Iowa, Missouri, Oregon, Maine, and a few other States.  Rhode Island is an extremely small state, just 37 miles wide and 48 miles long.  Students at CRNA schools in Rhode Island appreciate comprehensive academic experiences with seaside culture and traditional New England township architecture.  Because it is such a small State, students often travel to nearby Boston and NYC both of which are only one to three hours away drive.

Located in the northeast New England region, Rhode Island is not part of the RN Compact States agreement that allows RN nurses to move around freely and work within all 33 approved multi-license states.  Because they are not part of the RN Compact, it is very unlikely that they will be part of the future APRN Compact for nurse anesthetists.  This may be an important factor when people consider CRNA Schools in Rhode Island.

Nurse Anesthetist Programs in Rhode Island

There is only one CRNA Programs in Rhode Island located in the city of North Providence as shown below:

1. Saint Joseph Hospital, North Providence (Master of Science in Nursing)

Although Saint Joseph Hospital is still a MSN program, the school plans to begin the DNP program in January 2022.  The CRNA program is a partnership between the Rhode Island College School of Nursing (RICSON) and St. Joseph Hospital School of Nurse Anesthesia (SJHSNA).  Located in the north part of the State’s capital, Saint Joseph Hospital has the resources of a metropolitan area with the peaceful atmosphere of a suburb.  Lastly, the CRNA school partners with 8 affiliated sites in Rhode Island and Massachusetts for clinical rotations.

CRNA Schools in Rhode Island

As of Year End 2020, there are 122 CRNA schools in the United States and 2.4 CRNA schools in each State on average.  To compare, there are 13 CRNA schools in Pennsylvania and 9 CRNA schools in Florida.  In addition, South Carolina and Tennessee both have 6 CRNA schools.  On the other hand, there are no CRNA programs at all in Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Nevada, New Mexico, Vermont, New Hampshire, Alaska, and Hawaii.  Oftentimes, the States with more CRNA schools tend to have more CRNA jobs as well.  Unfortunately, there is no information from BLS on the number of CRNA jobs in Rhode Island.  However, due to the size and limited number of hospitals, the job market may not be as large as that in other States.

CRNA Programs in Rhode Island Acceptance Rate

The average acceptance rate for CRNA schools in Rhode Island is 20%, which is significantly lower than the national acceptance rate of 26%.  The Saint Joseph Hospital, class size is very small and only 10 students with approximately 50 qualified applicants each year applying.  In general, the easiest CRNA schools to get into by State are generally in the States with more CRNA schools.  For example, the average acceptance rate for CRNA schools in Florida is 30% with 9 CRNA Schools.

Located in the Mid-Western United State, North Dakota is part of the RN Compact States agreement.  This means RN nurses are able to move around freely and work within all 33 approved multi-license states.  However, it’s important to note that there is no such APRN Compact for nurse anesthetists yet though this may change in the future.

Maine, known as the Pine Tree State, is ranked #30 in total number of CRNA Schools in the United States.  It shares the #30 CRNA School ranking with Washington, Utah, Iowa, Missouri, Oregon, Rhode Island, and a few other States.  The majority of Maine is forested with trees and largely uninhabited, with most universities located in the Portland area, including the only CRNA schools in Maine.  CRNA students in Maine rave about the various outdoor activities (hiking, fishing) to delicious local foods (seafood & lobster) as what they love about studying in the State.

As the most northeastern State, Maine is part of the RN Compact States agreement.  This means RN nurses can move around freely and work within all 33 approved multi-license states.  However, it’s important to note that there is no such APRN Compact for nurse anesthetists yet though this may change in the future.

Nurse Anesthetist Programs in Maine

There is only one CRNA Programs in Maine located in the city of Sioux Falls as shown below:

1. UNE CRNA Program, Portland (Master of Science in Nursing Anesthesia)

UNE, known as the University of New England, is ranked as the #1 college in Maine for increasing career earnings by Brookings Institute and the #1 provider of health professionals in Maine.  Although the UNE CRNA is still a MSN degree, the school plans to have its first doctoral cohort of CRNA students in May 2022.

As of Year End 2020, there are 122 CRNA schools in the United States and 2.4 CRNA schools in each State on average.  To compare, there are 13 CRNA schools in Pennsylvania and 9 CRNA schools in Florida.  In addition, South Carolina and Tennessee both have 6 CRNA schools.  On the other hand, there are no CRNA programs at all in Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Nevada, New Mexico, Vermont, New Hampshire, Alaska, and Hawaii.  Oftentimes, the States with more CRNA schools tend to have more CRNA jobs as well.  This rule of thumb also applies to Maine.  With only one CRNA school, Maine is ranked #28 in number of CRNA jobs in the US.

Iowa, known as the Hawkeye State, is ranked #30 in total number of CRNA Schools in the United States.  It shares the #30 CRNA School ranking with Washington, South Dakota, Maine, Missouri, Oregon, Rhode Island, and a few other States.  Sometimes people also refer to Iowa as the Corn State or the American Heartland because of the authentic American way of life there.  Students studying in CRNA Schools in Iowa love the idyllic outdoor scenery, whether it be from the Iowa Great Lakes, bridges of Madison County all the way to the rustic country charm.

Located in the Mid-Western United State, Iowa is part of the RN Compact States agreement.  This means RN nurses can move around freely and work within all 33 approved multi-license states.  However, it’s important to note that there is no such APRN Compact for nurse anesthetists yet though this may change in the future.

Nurse Anesthetist Programs in Iowa

There is only one CRNA Programs in Iowa located in the city of Sioux Falls as shown below:

1. University of Iowa CRNA, Iowa City (Doctor of Nursing Practice)

All the CRNA schools in Iowa are DNP Doctorate degrees.  There are no MSN master’s degrees offered any longer in Iowa.  The University of Iowa is the first university in the State and has an excellent Health School, recently ranked #10 in US News.  The Anesthesia program director was also named Program Director of the Year by the American Association of Nurse Anesthetists (AANA).

As of Year End 2020, there are 122 CRNA schools in the United States and 2.4 CRNA schools in each State on average.  To compare, there are 13 CRNA schools in Pennsylvania and 9 CRNA schools in Florida.  In addition, South Carolina and Tennessee both have 6 CRNA schools.  On the other hand, there are no CRNA programs at all in Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Nevada, New Mexico, Vermont, New Hampshire, Alaska, and Hawaii.  Oftentimes, the States with more CRNA schools tend to have more CRNA jobs as well.  This rule of thumb also applies to Iowa.  With only one CRNA school, Iowa is ranked #26 in number of CRNA jobs in the US.

CRNA Programs in Iowa Acceptance Rate

The average acceptance rate for CRNA schools in Iowa is 10%, which is extremely lower than the national acceptance rate of 26%.  The reason for this is because the University of Iowa CRNA has a very small class size of only 12 students with approximately 120 qualified applicants each year applying.  In general, the easiest CRNA schools to get into by State are generally in the States with more CRNA schools.  For example, the average acceptance rate for CRNA schools in Florida is 30% with 9 CRNA Schools.

Nurse Anesthetist Programs in Iowa Conclusion

To sum up, if you are interested in studying at CRNA Schools in Iowa, there is only one school – the University of Iowa CRNA. CRNA students in Iowa appreciate the outdoor scenery and rustic American way of life.  As there are not many CRNA programs in IA, I also recommend CRNA applicants also apply to CRNA Schools in Minnesota, Montana, Illinois, and Nebraska.

Pursuing a CRNA program in Iowa may also make sense if you plan on staying within the State after graduation.  This is because it is common that a SRNA nurse can find nurse anesthetist jobs within the same State easier than students from out of State upon finishing school.

West Virginia, known as the Mountain State, is ranked #16 in total number of CRNA Schools in the United States.  It shares the #16 CRNA School ranking with Alabama, Georgia, Maryland, New Jersey, South Carolina, Virginia, and a few other States.  Many universities, including CRNA Schools in West Virginia, are located in the state capital of Charleston in the center of the state and Morgantown.  Students studying at CRNA schools in WV appreciate the diverse terrain full of natural beauty, safety and quality of life in the State.  In fact, Morgantown was ranked as one of the top 100 best places to live by Livability.

Located in the Eastern United States, West Virginia is part of the RN Compact States agreement.  This means RN nurses can move around freely and work within all 33 approved multi-license states.  However, it’s important to note that there is no such APRN Compact for nurse anesthetists yet though this may change in the future.  This may be important for students considering nurse anesthetist schools in West Virginia.

Nurse Anesthetist Programs in West Virginia

There is only two CRNA Programs in West Virginia located in the cities of Charleston and Morgantown as shown below:

1. Charleston Area Medical Center, Charleston (Doctor of Nursing Anesthesia Practice)
2. WVU CRNA Program, Morgantown (Doctor of Nursing Practice)

CRNA Schools in WV

All CRNA programs in WV are DNP programs.  West Virginia no longer offers Masters programs including MSN degrees.  WVU CRNA Program, known as West Virginia University, in Morgantown is the state’s largest traditional university.  Charleston Area Medical Center, also known as CAMC, offers an integrated program with didactic and clinical education.  CAMC School of Nurse Anesthesia is also affiliated with the Marshall University Brad D. Smith Schools of Business.  Students will attend classes at the Marshall University South Charleston campus as well as CAMC’s medical facilities in Charleston. Applications for nurse anesthesia must be submitted to both schools.

As of Year End 2020, there are 122 CRNA schools in the United States and 2.4 CRNA schools in each State on average.  To compare, there are 13 CRNA schools in Pennsylvania and 9 CRNA schools in Florida.  In addition, South Carolina and Tennessee both have 6 CRNA schools. On the other hand, there are no CRNA programs at all in Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Nevada, New Mexico, Vermont, New Hampshire, Alaska, and Hawaii.  Oftentimes, the States with more CRNA schools tend to have more CRNA jobs as well.  This generalization definitely applies to West Virginia as the State is ranked #20 in most number of CRNA jobs in the States.

CRNA Programs in West Virginia Acceptance Rate

The average acceptance rate for CRNA schools in West Virginia is 34%, which is significantly higher than the national acceptance rate of 26%.  The reason is because the acceptance rate at the WVU CRNA Program is unusually high at 43% because the number of qualified applicants applying to the CRNA school is very small.  Only 35 qualified applicants applied for a class size of 15 students!  This may be a hidden gem for students looking for the easiest CRNA schools to get into. The Charleston Area Medical Center acceptance rate is exactly average at 25% with 26 students being accepted out of 100 qualified applicants.

Nurse Anesthetist Schools in WV Conclusion

To conclude, if you are interested in studying at CRNA Schools in West Virginia, there are two schools, the WVU CRNA Program and the Charleston Area Medical Center.  As there are not many CRNA programs in WV, I also recommend CRNA applicants also apply to CRNA Schools in New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and North Carolina. To emphasize, the WVU CRNA Program is definitely a hidden gem for anesthesia students looking for the easiest CRNA schools to get into.

West Virginia ranks remarkably high in the CRNA job market.

Nebraska, known as the Cornhusker State, is ranked #16 in total number of CRNA Schools in the United States.  It shares the #16 CRNA School ranking with Alabama, Georgia, Maryland, New Jersey, South Carolina, Virginia, and a few other States. Students at CNRA Schools in Nebraska appreciate the peaceful outdoor lover’s paradise and general stable way of life.  Several Fortune 500 companies are located in the State including Berkshire Hathaway, Union Pacific, ConAgra Foods, and Mutual of Omaha Insurance.

Located in the South United States, Nebraska is part of the RN Compact States agreement.  This means RN nurses can move around freely and work within all 33 approved multi-license states.  However, it’s important to note that there is no such APRN Compact for nurse anesthetists yet though this may change in the future.

Nurse Anesthetist Programs in Nebraska

There are only two CRNA Programs in Nebraska located in the cities of Omaha and Lincoln as shown below:

1. Clarkson College CRNA, Omaha (Doctor of Nursing Anesthesia Practice)
2. Bryan College CRNA, Lincoln (Doctor of Nursing Anesthesia Practice)

Both nurse anesthetist programs in Nebraska are DNP degrees.  Master of Science in Nursing degrees are no longer offered in Nebraska.  The Clarkson College CRNA is partnered and shares resources with Nebraska Medicine.  The CRNA school prides itself on being the only nurse anesthesia program in Omaha, having close faculty to student ratios, and providing thorough rural and urban clinical practice opportunities.

Bryan College of Health Sciences is a college within a medical center that is affiliated with Nebraska Medical Center.  The school is especially proud of their extensive clinical experience which covers specialty rotations with a 2-month and 1-month rotation in a community hospital.  Rural anesthesia practice rotations are available as well.  As of Year End 2020, there are 122 CRNA schools in the United States and 2.4 CRNA schools in each State on average.  To compare, there are 13 CRNA schools in Pennsylvania and 9 CRNA schools in Florida.  In addition, South Carolina and Tennessee both have 6 CRNA schools.

On the other hand, there are no CRNA programs at all in Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Nevada, New Mexico, Vermont, New Hampshire, Alaska, and Hawaii.  Oftentimes, the States with more CRNA schools tend to have more CRNA jobs as well.  Unfortunately, the BLS does not publish the number of CRNA jobs in Nebraska.

CRNA Programs in Nebraska Acceptance Rate

The average acceptance rate for CRNA schools in Nebraska is 16%, which is significantly higher than the national acceptance rate of 26%.  The reason for the low acceptance rate is especially due to the Clarkson College CRNA in Omaha.  Clarkson College has only a 9% acceptance rate with 15 students accepted out of 175 qualified applicants.  This is one of the most competitive nurse anesthetist programs in the country.  Meanwhile, the Bryan College CRNA in Lincoln acceptance rate is 23% with a class size of 17 students with 75 qualified applicants applying.

Nurse Anesthetist Schools in NE Conclusion

In conclusion, if you are interested in studying at CRNA Schools in Nebraska, there are two programs, Clarkson College CRNA and Bryan College CRNA. As there are not many CRNA programs in NE, I also recommend CRNA applicants also apply to CRNA Schools in Minnesota, Montana, Iowa and South Dakota.  Pursuing a CRNA program in Nebraska may also make sense if you plan on staying within the State after graduation.  This is because it is common that a SRNA nurse can find nurse anesthetist jobs within the same State easier than students from out of State upon finishing school.
