Texas Wesleyan has the largest nurse anesthesia program in the nation and is known for producing high-quality CRNAs. With our richer simulation experience, you'll graduate from our program qualified to work in the anesthesia department of any hospital and prepared to tackle the toughest O.R. But don't just take our word for it. Hear what our students have to say.
The first 12 months of Phase I, all students will be required to study at our main campus in Fort Worth, Texas. For the last 4 months of Phase I, you have the option to stay at our main campus or finish at your assigned clinical site.
Our 15 different clinical sites in nine different states let you finish Phase II of the program closer to home.
By 2021, all new nurse anesthesia students must be enrolled in a doctoral program. Many CRNA schools have already phased out their master's degree. Be ahead of the curve and earn your Doctor of Nurse Anesthesia Practice before it's required. You'll be more marketable and won't have to stress about your program.
