Working as a CRNA in Texas

Texas offers a broad range of clinical opportunities for Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists, with major healthcare systems located in cities such as Houston, Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio. CRNAs in Texas work across hospitals, outpatient surgery centers, and specialty care facilities, contributing significantly to anesthesia delivery throughout the state. While Texas does not grant statewide independent practice for CRNAs, the law allows hospitals and facilities to authorize CRNA practice without physician supervision through facility-level delegations. In most settings, CRNAs work under physician supervision, unless a facility’s written policies grant more autonomy.

Texas provides highly competitive compensation and consistent demand for anesthesia services, particularly in rapidly growing metropolitan and rural regions where CRNAs play a vital role in meeting patient care needs. Health systems such as Baylor Scott & White, UT Southwestern, Houston Methodist, and Memorial Hermann frequently employ CRNAs in advanced clinical teams, offering opportunities in trauma centers, academic systems, and high-acuity perioperative environments.

With strong career prospects, professional growth pathways, and a relatively low cost of living compared to many states, Texas remains an appealing choice for CRNAs looking for both job stability and diverse clinical practice settings. Whether working in a large academic center or a smaller community facility, CRNAs in Texas can build rewarding careers while contributing meaningfully to patient care across the state.

Education and Certification

  • Educational Requirement: CRNAs must complete a doctoral degree from an accredited nurse anesthesia program.
  • Certification: After graduation, candidates must pass the National Certification Examination (NCE) administered by the National Board of Certification and Recertification for Nurse Anesthetists (NBCRNA).

Licensure

Scope of Practice

  • Autonomy: Texas does not allow CRNAs to practice independently. CRNAs must be supervised by a licensed physician.
  • Prescriptive Authority: CRNAs may have the authority to prescribe medications relevant to anesthesia and patient care, including controlled substances.

Collaboration

Collaborative Care Model and Anesthesia Care (ACT) Model.

State Regulations

CRNAs should stay informed about changes in state laws and regulations affecting their practice. For current information, check out the Texas Association of Nurse Anesthetists (TxANA) and Texas Board of Nursing as well as other relevant professional organizations.
