However, once a student graduates nursing school as a registered nurse, “at least one year of critical care experience” is required before advancing to a master’s program, says Shirley Sopko, a nurse anesthetist of eleven years. In addition to work experience, a person interested in becoming a nurse anesthetist must take one of two tests: “the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) [with a score of] 850 or higher or the Miller Analogies Test (MAT) [with a score of] 386 or higher” within five years before applying to graduate school (MSN). Acceptance into the anesthesia program also depends on if the student had a GPA of at least a 3.0 during nursing school (Nurse Anesthesia). Once a student is successfully enrolled into the anesthesia program, which has a “typical length of…around 28 months”, a student will spend at least 400 hours providing anesthesia “to patients undergoing various types of surgery” (Sopko; Shurr). Students must also complete a minimum of 200 hours in the classroom learning the ins-and-outs of anesthesia and its administration, how the body will react to the anesthesia, and the pharmacology of anesthesia (Shurr).
