Best Answer

You need a Bachelor's in Nursing, followed by your license exam for your state, typically to apply for the Master's degree in Anesthesia you need to work 2-3 years in an ER or ICU setting before you apply for the program.

The main skills you need are a good background in chemistry and physiology; understanding the respiratory system and being able to work under high stress environments and good math skills.

What degree is required to become a nurse anesthetist?

Currently all programs are Master's Degree programs. Previously (decades ago) Nurse Anesthesia was a certificate. Those practicing under this were grandfathered and do not need to get their Master's. There are not many left. Long answer short, a Master's degree. There is a movement to make it a doctorate which is probably 7 to 10 years away.
