Anesthesia Clinical Practicum 5

3 credits · School of Nursing

This fifth clinical course builds on the experiences gained in prior clinical and previous courses. It emphasizes the demonstration and refinement of advanced skills while integrating content from concurrent didactic coursework into patient care. Students will apply patient-specific care plans for neurosurgical, neurovascular, trauma, renal, hepatic, and emergency procedures, and demonstrate their ability to manage complex pathophysiology. Additionally, students will develop an understanding of the broader professional roles and responsibilities of a CRNA, including administrative duties, patient advocacy, and process and patient safety evaluation. Supplemental clinical case conferences will focus on these specialty populations and the evolving role of the CRNA. Prerequisite: 8665. [3]
