Program Overview

SOMNIA NURSE ANESTHESIA PROGRAMS

Doctoral Nurse Anesthesia Track

The DNP Nurse Anesthesia track is a full-time, 36-month integrated format that prepares the baccalaureate-educated nurse to become a CRNA. The curriculum is designed to meet the standards of the Council on Accreditation of Nurse Anesthesia Educational Programs (COA).

• Classes will be asynchronous and synchronous for this distant learning program.
• While courses will be taught online, students will be required to be on-campus once a year throughout the three-year program for intensive skills instruction and competency assessments.
• This is a national program with clinical sites across the United States. Graduates of Ursuline College with SNAP receive a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree and are eligible to sit for the National Certification Exam (NCE) for Nurse Anesthetists administered by the NBCRNA.

Graduates who successfully complete this written exam are certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs).
