The MS in Nurse Anesthesia is offered in conjunction with Nazareth Hospital. It is designed for nurses who desire to study the educative and administrative aspects of health care as well as focus on the science of anesthesiology. The core courses are taught by Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists and Anesthesiologists atthe hospital site. Health Education and Administration courses are taught by the University faculty on the main campus.

Application Procedure

Interested students must contact Nazareth Hospital School of Anesthesiology (215-335-6217) in order to obtain an application to the program; applications are submitted directly to the Hospital School, as opposed to the University.

The following documentation is required as part of the application file:
A completed application form from the appropriate School of Anesthesia, accompanied by a non-refundable application fee,

Complete and official transcripts of all coursework from nursing school, undergraduate and graduate school attended, with a minimum of a baccalaureate degree in nursing form a National League for Nursing (NLN) accredited program. Registered nurses may have earned a bachelor’s degree in an appropriate science other than nursing.

Two letters of recommendation attesting to the student’s clinical experience and ability for graduate study.

Current resumé, which includes evidence of at least one year’s nursing experience in critical care,

Current GRE scores.

Upon acceptance to the Hospital School, students are required to submit an application and the required fee to Saint Joseph’s University. Application supporting documents, including transcripts, letters of recommendation, etc. will be sent to Saint Joseph’s directly from the Hospital School to complete the student’s University file. Students who are newly accepted will be offered the opportunity to begin University course requirements prior to full-time enrollment in the Hospital School.

The main objective of the nursing programme is to educate individuals in the basic subjects of the health sciences in accordance with the needs of society at each time.

Nurses from the University of Akureyri are to be professionally able to carry out general nursing duties, as well as attending to administration and instruction in most sectors of the health services. There are various employment opportunities in this country and abroad, since the programme is internationally accredited and the need for nurses seems to be growing constantly. There are also varied possibilities for advanced studies.

The Unique Situation of the Nursing Programme.
Emphasis is placed on educating nurses for work in the society of the future. Practical work begins as early as the first year of study. Students pursue practical studies at health service institutes in Akureyri, in Reykjavík and in other parts of the country. The Faculty of Health Sciences cooperates on exchange programmes with schools in the Nordic countries and in several parts of Europe and therefore there is the possibility for interested students to do some of their practical studies abroad.

A student is to complete the first half of his studies, i.e. the courses covered in the first two years of study, before commencement of studies in the third year, in order to complete each half of the programme. The maximum time allowed for completing the degree examination is six years, three years for each half of the programme. A student who fails to satisfy the minimum requirements in practical studies, has to redo the term of practical study. Each term of study can only be redone once. The term is to be repeated in the same area of work as before, but at another place of practical study.

During the period of study nursing students are to acquire three months of work experience in providing care for patients which is to correspond to at least 80% of work in health institutes exclusive of time organized for study (cf. Article 9 of the Act of Law on the University of Akureyri No. 40/1999).

The objective of the faculty is to have each group of students in home study in the faculty every year accompanied by at least one group of distance learning students. The condition for the establishment of a distance learning programme is a contract with a centre of continuing education or a comparable institute at the location concerned, and that normally a minimum of 17 students commence their studies. The teaching is conducted by the use of interactive visual tele-conference equipment. It is likely that by means of new technology and new ways of teaching there will be changes made in this arrangement in the future.

Given the continuing demand for skilled health care workers, it’s no mystery that nursing is a healthy career choice. But choosing the right school to obtain a degree as a registered nurse is critical. The Associate Degree Nursing program at Gateway Technical College prepares students to be licensed as registered nurses in Wisconsin and those who have completed their first year of study meet the requirements to be a practical nurse. The Gateway program may be started in either August or January and credits may transfer to colleges and universities offering advanced nurse education programs.

Normal business hours are:
Monday through Thursday 8:00 a.m.-7:00 p.m.
Friday 8:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m.
Saturday (January 5 & 12, 2008) 9:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m.

Thank you for a successful orientation on January 22 and 23, 2009. The staff and faculty were happy to meet you and we are looking forward to helping you be successful in the program. Please remember, if for any reason you are in a first semester course again…you will attend the orientation again. Every semester we will update the orientation with program changes, new learning opportunities, etc. So for those of you who will be taking a first semester course in upcoming semesters, remember to come back and check on future orientations dates and schedules. Good Luck to everyone, enjoy the ride.

Petitioning for Clinical Classes

Nursing has a greater number of interested students than available core course seats. For such programs, Gateway Technical College utilizes a petition process where a post-admission, second-tier process is used to select accepted students for upcoming technical studies/occupational specific course seats. Students should note that petition requirements are subject to change and may be different for each petition period.

Please be aware that there may be a 1-3 year wait from the time you begin to petition until your petition is successful.
