Everything CRNA was started in 2020 by Nelson, a nurse who went through the long path to nurse anesthesia: nursing school, the ICU, CRNA school, the certification exam and the first job hunt. Along the way he found that the best advice came by word of mouth, and that answers to basic questions were scattered across forums, school websites and outdated blogs.
So he built one place to put them. Nelson is now a practicing CRNA in Washington state. You can connect with him on LinkedIn.
What changed in 2026
We rebuilt the site from the ground up. Every program page now comes from the Council on Accreditation's current list, salary pages use the latest BLS data, and licensing pages reflect today's compact and opt-out rules. Where we couldn't confirm something, we say so and point you to the official source.
How we keep it accurate
- Program facts come from the COA and each program's own website.
- Pay comes from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
- Licensing comes from NCSBN, state boards and the AANA.
- Every page shows when it was last updated and links to its sources.

Disclosure
Everything CRNA is free and does not charge programs to be listed. Nelson is a founding adviser to Titrate Revenue, a US anesthesia billing company. That company has no say over what we publish.
