General Information

The Master of Science in Nurse Anesthesia (MSNA) Program at Newman University has been designed for the baccalaureate-prepared registered nurse who wishes to become a nurse anesthetist. The program offers both didactic and clinical education to enable the graduate student to acquire the knowledge, skills and competence necessary to assume an advanced practice role.

The MSNA Program at NU is a multifaceted academic unit that addresses health care needs and problems of the city, region and nation through anesthesia education. The department prepares individuals from various demographic and cultural backgrounds to assume professional advanced nursing roles in the delivery of safe and up-to-date anesthesia care. This safety is only achieved with a complete understanding of the science of anesthesia complemented by the humanistic touch of a caring practitioner, the art of anesthesia. This blending of science and art is accomplished by providing the student with a strong academic base on which to build the clinical experience.
