DNP in Nurse Anesthesia
Designed for experienced bachelors prepared critical care nurses, this hybrid DNP program combines clinical expertise and scholarly work to prepare students to deliver safe, quality anesthesia care. Through rigorous clinical rotations and a mix of online and in-person coursework, students will explore methods to improve health outcomes through the identification, development, and implementation of key evidence-based practice projects.
Throughout your course of study, you will experience adult, pediatric, OB, ambulatory, and specialty cases such as cardiovascular, neuro and thoracic. Upon successful completion of the DNP in Nurse Anesthesia program, graduates will be eligible to sit for the National Board of Certification and Recertification for Nurse Anesthetists (NBCRNA) as CRNAs.
