The Nursing Anesthesia
program resides in the School of Nursing
at the Louisiana Sate University Health
Sciences Center. The School of Nursing is one of six professional schools
comprising the academic health sciences
center in New Orleans, Louisiana. The
Louisiana State University system initiated
nursing education in 1929, and the School
of Nursing was established as a separate
and autonomous school in December, 1968.
The Master of Nursing Degree offering
was approved March 23, 1972, with the
first degrees conferred in May, 1975.
The Nursing Anesthesia
Program consists of 115 graduate credit
hours leading to the Master of Nursing
degree with a specialization in Nurse
Anesthesia. The curriculum integrates
health sciences with nursing sciences
to prepare students as advanced practitioners
in nurse anesthesia who are eligible
for certification as a certified registered
nurse anesthetist (CRNA) and licensure
as Advanced Practice Registered Nurses
(APRNs). Students are prepared to assume
leadership roles in anesthesia and provide
anesthesia care to patients in medically
underserved areas. Students are educated
to integrate research and evidence-based practice into their anesthesia
practice.
The Nursing Anesthesia
Program is a 32 month course of continuous
study. Students do not follow the traditional
semester format upon entering the anesthesia
practicum series. To provide students
with necessary clinical hours to accomplish
course and clinical objectives and comply
with the required number and types of
anesthesia cases by the Council on Accreditation
(COA), each semester is continuous with
the next semester (block format) with
vacation (time off) and holidays appropriately
dispersed on an individual student basis.
