Career Opportunities

A nurse anesthetist provides, and participates in the provision of, advanced specialized nursing and anesthesia services to patients requiring anesthesia, respiratory care, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and/or other emergency, life-sustaining services wherever required. Advanced specialized nursing and anesthesia services incorporate the biological and behavioral sciences into practice as they relate to patients and their families.

CRNAs practice in every setting in which anesthesia is delivered; traditional hospital surgical suites and obstetrical delivery rooms; critical access hospitals; ambulatory surgical centers; the offices of dentists, podiatrists, ophthalmologists, and plastic surgeons.

CRNAs are in demand and therefore have many opportunities for general or specialty practice throughout the world. A CRNA takes care of a patient’s anesthesia needs before, during and after surgery and the delivery of a baby.
