In the US, our anesthesia APNs are CRNAs... in most states, this qualifies them to manage anesthesia under the supervision of a qualified anesthesiologist. It is a graduate (post baccalaureate) degree. Some states permit more independent practice. The educational program is rigorous - most require ~ 2 years of full-time ICU experience in order to even qualify for application. Admission is extremely competitive. I would suggest you gather information on CRNA programs to obtain more information about what this process entails.
