Doctor of Nursing Practice - Nurse Anesthesia
The nurse anesthesia DNP specialization prepares registered nurses with baccalaureate or graduate degrees in nursing to provide individualized anesthetic patient care for surgical, diagnostic, therapeutic or pain management procedures. Nurse anesthetist practices are based on both institutional and state policies, but are usually in collaboration with physicians. Nurse anesthetists are well respected and often work autonomously, especially in rural areas where they may be the sole anesthesia providers.
Following graduation, students will meet the minimum didactic and clinical requirements to become eligible to take the National Certification Examination offered by the National Board on Certification and Recertification of Nurse Anesthetists.
The nurse anesthesia DNP specialization offers courses and clinical experiences that meet or exceed the standards of the Council on Accreditation of Nurse Anesthesia Education Program (COA). The NA DNP program at SIUE is fully accredited through May 2030 by COA, 10275 W. Higgins Rd., Suite 906, Rosemont, IL 60018-5603. Review vital program statistics.
