License Description JOB DESCRIPTION: A certified registered nurse anesthetist (CRNA) is an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) who specializes in anesthesia care to prevent pain during surgical operations, deliveries, or other medical and dental procedures. The APRN-CRNA must administer prescribed anesthesia under the supervision of a physician, dentist, or podiatrist and monitor patient's pre-anesthetic, anesthetic, and post-anesthetic condition.
