Notes: One of the most affordable DNP nurse anesthesia programs nationally. Clinical sites: University Medical Center New Orleans (post-Katrina Level 1 rebuild, major trauma + indigent care), Children's Hospital New Orleans, Ochsner Medical Center, East Jefferson General. Highly diverse patient population and case mix. Louisiana requires physician supervision for CRNAs (opt-in state) — strong anesthesiologist collaborative model. Deep South pipeline with state school value.
