Hawaii, known as the Aloha State, is the only island and only US State located in the Pacific Ocean. Famous for its diverse range of ecosystems, from mountains & cliffs to rich green forests and beautiful beaches, Hawaii is a dream-in-heaven place to study. Unfortunately, there are no CRNA Schools in Hawaii. The largest university in the State, the University of Hawaii with campuses in Hilo, Kahului, Kapolei and the state capital of Honolulu, does not offer a nurse anesthetist program. The Council on Accreditation of Nurse Anesthesia Educational Programs, which accredits nurse anesthesia programs within the US, is very strict and they have not approved any CRNA programs in Hawaii as of 2021.
There are currently 122 CRNA schools in the United States and 2.4 CRNA schools in each State on average. To compare, there are 13 CRNA schools in Pennsylvania and 9 CRNA schools in Florida. In addition, North Carolina and Tennessee both have 6 CRNA schools. Other States which are similar to Hawaii and do not have CRNA schools include Nevada, Idaho, Wyoming, Vermont, New Mexico, New Hampshire, Alaska, and Montana. There are also not many nurse anesthetist professionals who are living and working in the State of Hawaii.
