Description
This third clinical practicum course is designed for the nurse anesthesia student to refine required clinical competencies and gain further experience with evidence-based clinical decision-making and acquired skills in a supervised practicum. The students with input from the preceptor will plan, implement, and manage anesthesia-related concerns of patients across the continuum of care- from preoperative assessment to post-operative evaluation. Clinical objectives are reflective of didactic material presented within the semester to prepare the student to progress from the assisted novice role in the clinical setting to an independent practitioner, in the role of the Advanced Practice Nurse (APN).
