It serves as a major Midwestern referral center for oncology, neuro and transplant care.

Candidates need a registered nurse license and CRNA certification from the American Association of Nurse Anesthetists, plus an advanced practice nurse prescriber license, DEA registration, and PALS, ACLS or NRP certification from the American Heart Association or AAP, with the cardiac or pediatric credentials due within six months unless the department leader waives them. A master's degree in nursing is required, and no prior experience is necessary.
