Nurse Anesthesia - Bridgeport Hospital School of Nursing

Nurse Anesthesia from Bridgeport Hospital School of Nursing is a Campus Master Nurse Anesthetist degree that prepares you for a Nursing career. The Fairfield University & Bridgeport Hospital Nurse Anesthesia Program is a full time, integrated, 29 month program offering a Master of Science in Nursing from Fairfield University and a Certificate in Nurse Anesthesia. The Program starts in January of each year and operates continuously, independent of the University calendar. After a spring and summer of academics, students begin their clinical practicum and continue to take required academic courses until the May graduation. Upon graduation, the students are eligible to sit for the National Certifying Exam. The successful completion of this exam allows the new graduate to practice nurse anesthesia. The Clinical Experience Our Program is self-contained. It provides all clinical opportunities at one clinical site to meet the standards set by the Council on Accreditation of Nurse Anesthesia Educational Programs. Our students gain hands on experience with a variety of regional (neuraxial & peripheral blocks) and general techniques under the close supervision of a supportive CRNA and MD faculty. In addition to the routine surgical cases, our nurse anesthesia students gain experience in trauma, major burn and high-risk obstetrical cases. High-risk pediatric procedures and organ transplants are not performed at BH. The anesthesia services offered are progressive and dynamic. Much effort has been made to provide our patient community with the most current anesthesia practices and services. This department ideal is accomplished by utilizing our ongoing Quality Management System (QMS). Our QMS identifies patient care and practice issues requiring future education and/or skill development and generates staff, faculty and student participation. This promotes continuous improvement in patient care and a stimulating educational environment. View more details on Bridgeport Hospital School of Nursing .
