If you currently hold a Registered Nurse (RN) license in Ohio the next step for you might be to consider advancing your career by becoming a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA). These are highly qualified and specialized advanced-practice registered nurses with exceptional earning potential.
CRNA’s in Ohio are advanced practice nurses who are registered by the Ohio Board of Nursing and have certification from the American Association of Nurse Anesthetists(AANA).
They must hold a current Ohio Registered Nurse License, have graduated from an approved educational program and successfully completed the National Certification Exam. They must comply with all requirements for re-certification as per the Ohio Association of Nurse Anesthetists.
Changes to how CRNA’s are trained and become qualified are being introduced with many schools and universities submitting applications to the COA for approval to award doctoral programs.
