Program Design
 The
Hospital of Saint Raphael School of Nurse Anesthesia is approved by the
Council on Accreditation of Nurse Anesthesia Educational Programs and
is open to men and women who are graduates of accredited schools of nursing.
The program has been granted full accreditation status by the Council
on Accreditation of Nurse Anesthesia Educational Programs/Schools for
ten years, with an expiration date of October, 2014.
The program begins
in May, annually, and encompasses 29 months with coursework offered at
Central Connecticut State University in New Britain and at the Hospital
of Saint Raphael in New Haven. During the didactic phase (12 months) the
student is a full–time matriculated student at CCSU. The clinical phase
(17 months) is offered at the Hospital of Saint Raphael and the program’s
clinical affiliation sites.
Upon satisfactory
completion of all didactic and clinical work, candidates are awarded the
Master of Science in Biology/Anesthesia from Central Connecticut State
University. Graduates of the program receive a certificate from the Hospital
of Saint Raphael School of Nurse Anesthesia. Successful completion of
the program makes the graduate eligible to take the qualifying examination
for certification as a registered nurse anesthetist (CRNA).
