Providing patients a comfortable and pain-free experience during one of the most critical times in their health care experience is crucial. As one of only two DNP nurse anesthesia programs in Wisconsin, we ensure our students are equipped in a variety of regional and general anesthesia techniques for every setting in which anesthesia is delivered to patients.
As a student at Marquette University, you'll graduate as an expert clinician who understands the complexities of health care, including patient safety, advanced diagnostics and treatments, information technology, business management and health care finance.
CRNAs are some of the highest paid RNs in the field. Depending on the work setting and state where CRNAs are employed, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) noted that in 2016, CRNAs made between $105,400 to $242,000, with the average annual salary being approximately $157,000.
