Students must have a current unrestricted and unencumbered Arizona or Illinois registered nursing license or a current unrestricted and unencumbered license from one of the states in the nursing compact at the time the student enters the program. Students from a non-compact state will have to obtain licensure in Arizona or Illinois, depending on the MWU campus of matriculation. During the didactic year, students will apply for and secure licenses for all states required for rotations. Additional state nursing licensing costs are the responsibility of the student. American Heart Association certification in ACLS and PALS are required at matriculation and are the responsibility of the student.
Midwestern University’s Nurse Anesthesia program meets the educational requirements to become certified to practice as a certified registered nurse anesthesiologist in all US states and US territories.
Each student should check the additional requirements to obtain certification in the state, district or territory in which the student intends to pursue employment.
