How much ICU experience does University of South Carolina Nurse Anesthesia require?

At least 12 months of critical-care experience. Most programs want that experience to be recent, in an adult ICU, and at high acuity — the unit you work in usually matters as much as the number of months.

Does University of South Carolina Nurse Anesthesia require the GRE?

It depends: may be waived with an overall and basic science GPA of 3.5 or higher, or a science master's degree. Requirements change between cycles — confirm on the program's official page before you rely on it.

How long is the University of South Carolina Nurse Anesthesia program?

36 months of full-time study, awarding the DNAP. Nurse anesthesia programs are front-loaded and clinically intense; most discourage working during the program.

How much does University of South Carolina Nurse Anesthesia cost?

University of South Carolina Nurse Anesthesia doesn't state a program total. Its published rate works out to $67,905 for in-state students and $115,965 out-of-state in tuition — that's our calculation, not a figure the program states.
