NSG 6900NA DNP Anesthesia Transition Seminar

With a focus on the specialty of nurse anesthesia, this course explores the transition and socialization in the DNP role as a future nurse anesthetist.  Transition topics include professional responsibility and accountability for advancing professional nursing practice across disciplines within nursing, professional development required as a current evidence-based anesthesia provider, advocacy and organization involvement, and scholarship.  Additionally, a repeat module on Wellness and Chemical Dependency in anesthesia providers is explored, with the provision of available state and national resources for peer assistance. The DNP scholarship portfolio is completed and evaluated which includes reflection on evidence that demonstrates the student is a clinical scholar and documents competency in all domains of DNP practice as outlined in the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) Essentials of Doctoral Education for Advanced Nursing Practice and the South College School of Nursing Doctoral Program Outcomes.
