– First-of-its-kind program in Nevada to enroll second class to start in summer 2025 –
HENDERSON, Nev. – August 8, 2024 – The College of Nursing at Roseman University of Health Sciences today began accepting applications for its second class for its Doctor of Nursing Practice in Nurse Anesthesia (DNPNA) program. The deadline to apply for the class beginning in July 2025 is October 1, 2024.
Approved by the Council on Accreditation of Nurse Anesthesia Educational Programs (COA), Roseman’s DNPNA program is based at its Henderson, Nevada campus and delivered over 36 months in a hybrid-online format, with students learning didactic curriculum online and clinical and experiential learning on campus and at partner clinical sites throughout Southern Nevada beginning midway through the first year of the program.
“Roseman’s DNPNA students learn how to administer anesthesia and deliver anesthesia-related services independently and as part of an interprofessional team. They learn through real-world scenarios using state-of-the-art simulation and training in collaboration with clinical partners in Southern Nevada,” said Brian Oxhorn, PhD, RN, dean of Roseman University College of Nursing. “Further, students have the opportunity to develop their leadership skills and systems-level thinking, while learning their important role in a health care team.”
Upon successful completion of the program, students will earn a Doctor of Nursing Practice degree, be fully knowledgeable and skilled in administrating anesthesia, and be prepared to apply for certification as a registered nurse anesthetist (CRNA).
The first-of-its-kind program in Nevada enrolled its first class in July. It was created to address the high demand for Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) in the state and region, says Oxhorn.
