Nurse Anesthetist

Nurse Anesthetist Academic Department

The FIU DNP Nurse Anesthetist Program is a clinical specialty track within the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) program of the Graduate Nursing Department here at the FIU Nicole Wertheim College of Nursing & Health Sciences. It is a challenging and rewarding academic and clinical undertaking consisting of nine (9) continuous semesters of full time graduate study. On completion of the program, graduates will be eligible to take the National Certification Examination to become a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) as well as apply for the Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner (ARNP) credential with a specialization as a nurse anesthetist, from the Florida Board of Nursing. If you are a highly capable and motivated professional, comfortable with the sciences, and seeking to expand your professional education and autonomy, the FIU Anesthesiology Nursing Program may interest you. Completion of this program will permit graduates to take their place among the ranks of the highly respected CRNAs who will mold the health care history of our next century.
