This fall, UNLV Nursing welcomed its first cohort of Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists, with 16 students in the inaugural cohort. The graduate program will educate students to provide high-quality patient-centered care and safely administer anesthesia for procedures and surgeries. The degree offering is the latest reflection of UNLV’s ongoing commitment to training advanced clinical practitioners and healthcare leaders who serve the needs of Nevada, the nation, and the broader professional community.
