Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) Jobs

CRNA Jobs: Overview

A certified registered nurse anesthetist (CRNA) is a type of advanced practice registered nurse (APRN) that is certified to administer anesthesia to patients, as well as provide patient care before, during, and after surgery. CRNA jobs are expected to grow by 10% over the next decade — much faster than the average for all other occupations. That means an estimated additional 5,200 nurse anesthetist jobs will need to be filled.

If you're looking to pursue CRNA careers, you’ve come to the right place. Start your CRNA job search right now on IntelyCare.

Education and Skills for a CRNA job

To become a CRNA, you’ll start by earning a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN), passing the NCLEX-RN exam, and working one to three years in critical care to gain clinical experience. The next step is to earn a DNP (Doctor of Nursing Practice) or a DNAP (Doctor of Nursing Anesthesia Practice) by completing an accredited CRNA school program.

Finally, you must pass the national certification examination administered by the National Board of Certification and Recertification for Nurse Anesthetists (NBCRNA). Most states also require you to hold an APRN license. (Note that a CRNA’s scope of practice and level of professional autonomy are determined by the state in which they practice.)

In total, it takes around 7 to 10 years to complete your training and begin working as a CRNA. Learn more details about how to become a nurse anesthetist.

CRNA Resume and Cover Letter

One way to impress employers hiring for certified registered nurse anesthetist jobs is with a strong resume and cover letter. Try aligning your skills with the ones you see mentioned in the CRNA job description. For example, if you see “proficient in epidurals and spinal” written toward the top of a list of candidate requirements, be sure to include that same phrase in your CRNA resume. Then elaborate on your experience in epidurals and spinal in your cover letter.
