Description
This second clinical practicum course is designed to develop clinical competencies of nurse anesthesia students by applying evidence-based knowledge and acquired basic/advanced skills in a supervised practicum. The student, with the assistance of the preceptor, will learn to plan, implement, and manage anesthesia-related concerns of patients across the continuum of care, from preoperative assessment to post-operative evaluation. Safety, monitoring modalities and daily anesthesia plans will be emphasized. Students begin the on-call experience during this course and continue to build airway management skills and central axial regional anesthesia techniques. Clinical objectives are reflective of didactic material presented during the semester to prepare the student to progress from the dependent novice role in the clinical setting to an independent practitioner, in the role of a certified registered nurse anesthetist (CRNA).
