BSN-DNP > Nurse Anesthesia Track
As the acuity level of the surgical patients increase and the complexity of the practice continues to demand more of the nurse anesthetist, additional knowledge and skills are being required to serve as a leader in both the operating room suite and within one's practice. To address these growing demands upon the nurse anesthetist, a BSN-DNP Program is available to enhance your effectiveness as a practitioner and leader in the profession of nurse anesthesia.
Application deadlines: Priority Deadine: October 1st; Final Deadline: March 1st. Acceptance is based on a rolling admission process; therefore, applicants are encouraged to apply early.
