CRNA Schools in Ohio

As of November 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, North 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.  More often than not, the States with more CRNA schools tend to have more CRNA jobs as well.  This applies to CRNA jobs in Ohio as well – Ohio is #3 in the US in terms of most number of nurse anesthetist jobs.

CRNA Programs in Ohio Acceptance Rate

The average acceptance rate for CRNA programs in Ohio is 27%.  This is very similar compared to the national CRNA average acceptance rate of 26%.  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.  This compares with an acceptance rate of 13% for CRNA schools in Georgia and 24% in South Carolina.  That is to say, both these States only have 2 CRNA schools.  However, this is only a general rule of thumb and does not apply to all States all the time.

In Ohio, the University of Cincinnati CRNA and St Elizabeth Health Center are the CRNA Programs with the highest acceptance rates of 40%.  On the other hand, Cleveland Clinic CRNA program is the hardest CRNA program in Ohio to get in with an acceptance rate of 14%.
