The role also covers induction, maintenance, and emergence from anesthesia, monitoring of the patient's physiological status, and performing clinical interventions as needed.

Applicants must hold current certification from the AANA's certification body, along with a current registered nurse license and graduation from an accredited nurse anesthesia program. Those not yet holding a state license must be willing to obtain one.
