ODU Nurse Anesthesia Macon & Joan Brock Virginia Health Sciences Ellmer School of Nursing at Old Dominion University's D.N.P. Nurse Anesthesia Program

The official page of Old Dominion University's Nurse Anesthesia Program. ODU's DNP Nurse Anesthesia Program is a 100 credit, 36 month program divided into an academic phase and a clinical phase. The first phase of the program is designed to introduce students to the basic theoretical knowledge and skills necessary for advanced nursing practice in nurse anesthesia. The second phase focuses on the clinical component, which is comprised of both general and regional anesthesia techniques. Extensive clinical sites incorporate the graduate registered nurse anesthetist into the clinical management of the pediatric, obstetric, trauma, vascular, GI, GU, open heart, ENT, organ transplant, neurological and general surgical anesthesia. Multiple local primary sites give the student exposure to numerous practitioners with different backgrounds. We do not compete with anesthesiology residents at our primary sites. ODU provides the student with the academic scientific basis and clinical skills required to provide quality anesthesia care. Clinical instruction is provided by both CRNAs and anesthesiologists. Our graduates far surpass the number of cases required by the Council on Accreditation. The Program was established in 1995 upon the merger of local hospital programs. Nurse Anesthesia is one of several graduate roles within the Ellmer School of Nursing. Upon successful completion of the role, a Doctor of Nursing Practice Degree (DNP) is awarded and the student is eligible to take the National Certification Examination. Passage of this examination allows the graduate to assume the title of Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) and a role as an advanced practice nurse. Clinical education is performed at various hospitals and ambulatory care centers locally as well as distantly providing a rich clinical experience. The ODU Nurse Anesthesia program is fully accredited by the Council on Accreditation for Nurse Anesthesia Educational Programs through 2034. For more information visit our official website.
