- Title
UPGRADING NURSE ANESTHESIA EDUCATIONAL REQUIREMENTS (1933-2006) -- PART 1: SETTING STANDARDS.
- Authors
Horton, Betty J.
- Abstract
Upgrades in requirements for nurse anesthesia programs are reviewed over time. Topics include an early commitment to seeking university affiliation, starting a voluntary approval process for programs, implementing an accreditation process, and the evolution of education standards. Credit is given to past and present nurse anesthesia leaders in elevating the expectations for higher levels of education for CRNAs. This is the first part of a 2-part column that provides historical background considered by the 2005–2007 AANA Task Force on Doctoral Preparation of Nurse Anesthetists in making recommendations to the AANA Board of Directors. Part 2, to be published in the August 2007 AANA Journal, will report on upgrades in curriculum requirements and the credentials of anesthesia faculty and students.
