About us
Built by an Aspiring CRNA’s Spouse Who Couldn’t Find the Answers
In 2010, my husband Zac finished nursing school and shadowed a CRNA. He was hooked. But when we went looking for real answers about CRNA programs, there were very few resources, and what existed was scattered across dozens of school websites.
So I started collecting the research in one place. That work became All CRNA Schools: one site to find every CRNA program, compare what each one costs and requires, and learn how to get in. Today we track all 159 programs and check them for changes throughout every application cycle.
Everything you need to research and choose a CRNA school is free on this site. If you want more help, you can start with the free Top 10 CRNA Schools Database.
