The nurse anesthesia concentration is designed to educate critical care registered nurses in the nurse anesthetist role across the life span. Upon completion, graduates are able to exercise advanced levels of clinical judgment, systems thinking, and expanded responsibility, as well as become accountable for planning, implementing, and evaluating evidence-based strategies. Graduates are awarded a Doctor of Nursing Practice degree and are eligible to sit for the National Certification Examination of the National Board on Certification and Recertification of Nurse Anesthetists.
