CRNA noun[ C ] USuk /ˌsiː.ɑː.renˈeɪ/ us /ˌsiːˌɑːrˌenˈeɪ/ abbreviation for certified registered nurse anesthetist: a nurse who has special training to give anaesthetic (= a substance that makes you unable to feel pain): To become a CRNA in the United States, you need two additional years after your bachelor's degree. When the patient is ready, the CRNA discharges them from the post-anaesthesia care area. Before you can begin a CRNA degree programme, you have to have a BSN, an RN licence, and at least one year of experience in an acute care setting. The presence of an anaesthetist or CRNA for routine endoscopic procedures dramatically increases the total cost of the procedure. Masters-level CRNA training programmes range in length from 27 to 36 months.
