Here is what some current students and recent graduates have to say about choosing UC for Nurse Anesthesia education:
"I chose UC for Nurse Anesthesia because of its reputation and the variety of cases performed in the OR. I also liked that students take trauma call, an experience that not all programs can provide." – Jill S. class of 2011
"During my first few months of clinicals I had the opportunity to place arterial lines, perform nasal intubations, provide anesthesia for complex neurological cases, and I also was able to perform some awake fiberoptic intubations. The variety of cases and clinical skills that I have been exposed to at UC will help make me a competent and safe practitioner upon graduation from the program." – Eric P., class of 2012
"The UC educators go above and beyond to ensure you are ready to join the elite group of nurse anesthetists when you graduate from their program." – Amanda D., class of 2010
"I am thrilled that I chose UC for Nurse Anesthesia school! After completing my first year of training, I realize the caliber of CRNAs teaching and the variety of patients you care for are outstanding. UC played a huge role in the history of the nurse anesthesia profession, and that tradition is still being carried on today." – Jamie H., class of 2012
"I cannot imagine a regimen of clinical experiences that could have better prepared me for my career as a CRNA; although it was a bit daunting to be on my own, I was amazed at how ready I really was for my first day on the job." – Bryan H., class of 2010
"Few programs can provide you with clinical experience in a level 1 trauma center, a level 3 obstetric unit, and one of the top children's hospitals in the entire country. UC's Nurse Anesthesia program has not only molded me into a well-rounded anesthesia provider, but has also provided me with the confidence to enter practice on my own." – Purvi A., class of 2011
"The exposure to trauma at UC helps you develop a mental readiness to take care of anything that comes through the door." – Rachel A. 2010
"I chose UC because of the quality of the clinical experiences and instruction. I recommend UC because it will set you apart from the crowd when you graduate." – Keno B., class of 2012
