Nurse anesthesia focuses on preoperative evaluation, intraoperative
management, and postoperative evaluation of patient anesthesia
care. Nurse anesthetists are primarily responsible for direct
patient care and are prepared as expert clinicians.
Clinical courses provide students with opportunity to give direct
patient care, participate in staff education programs, and identify
clinical topics for research. Students work one-on-one with
a clinical preceptor with expertise in nurse anesthesia. The
student will take part in administering general and regional
anesthesia in persons of all ages. The management of emergency
operations, obstetrics, pediatrics, and neurosurgery are an
integral part of the clinical experience. Graduates will be
eligible to take the certification examination administered
by the Council on Certification of Nurse Anesthetists.
All applicants must have at least one year of recent experience
in one of the following acute care settings: recovery room,
emergency room, or medical, surgical, neonatal, or pediatric
intensive care. Applicants for the Nurse Anesthesia Program
will be reviewed on a rolling basis.
