ANES 822 - Practicum VI

Minimum Credit(s) Awarded: 4
Maximum Credit(s) Awarded: 4

This course is the final clinical practicum of the program. It is designed to provide the student nurse anesthetist with a final opportunity to strengthen clinical skills and incorporate current anesthesia practices into their practice. Students will practice under the direct supervision of a certified registered nurse anesthetist or anesthesiologist at an independent level. Students will assess patients, develop care plans, and provide anesthesia for all types of cases with minimal input from the supervising anesthesia provider. The clinical conference is designed to allow the student registered nurse anesthetist to meet with their peers and faculty to discuss recent cases, problems, and solutions. Students in their final practicum are expected to assist their newer peers to find solutions to their clinical problems. Students will be rotated to various clinical sites to ensure each student has reached the required anesthetic cases to gain eligibility for the national certifying examination. Local and national anesthesia conferences and seminars may be required throughout the nurse anesthesia practicum.
