Hybrid CRNA programs

No — not in the sense of a degree you can complete remotely. Nurse anesthesia requires thousands of supervised clinical hours with real patients, so no accredited program is fully online. What exists is hybrid delivery, where part of the didactic coursework is remote and all clinical training is in person and full time.

Typically that lectures and some coursework happen online — synchronously or recorded — while labs, simulation, and every clinical rotation are on site. 88 of the 115 programs publishing a format describe themselves as hybrid. The clinical load is identical to an in-person program.

Generally no. Hybrid affects where you attend lecture, not the clinical schedule, and full-time clinical rotations plus call leave little room for outside employment. Many programs restrict or prohibit work during clinical phases regardless of format.
