 Directions

The New Britain School of Nurse Anesthesia is accepting its last class in Fall 2012. We will be transitioning to a University Based Doctoral level program. We are in the process of getting approval and accreditation from all the different regulatory and accrediting bodies involved. This is a time-consuming process. Unfortunately we are prohibited from advertising our program or even accepting any applications while we are in transition until all approvals and accreditation is complete. Please email or call the director with any questions. Thank you for your patience.

To Apply
__________________________________________________________________

Applications must be received by September 30th for classes beginning the following May.

After all materials requested in the application procedure have been received, the Program Director will review the file to determine eligibility for interview. The applicant should call to ascertain that their file is complete and to request a personal interview.  Every effort will be made to assist the applicant with the application procedure.

Interviews are held in October and November.  Requests for interviews in September will be considered.  The Admissions Committee meets in early December to choose a class of twelve.  The Committee has access to all materials submitted by the applicant.

Factors considered in the selection process are:  academic achievement and grade point average, science and technology aptitude, critical care clinical experience and expertise, career motivation and other personal traits indicative of success in the program and dedication to a career in nurse anesthesia.

The Committee is especially interested in:

2.  Application documents demonstrating clarity, completeness, and a concise, relevant personal statement.

3.  Quality and quantity of critical care nursing experience and expertise.

4.  Professional references demonstrating an excellent work record and professional conduct.

5.  Pre-admission interview demonstrating professionalism, motivation, and the ability to communicate well.

Students are appointed on the basis of personal merit and capabilities without discrimination as to race, color, religion, age, gender, national origin, marital status, disability, sexual orientation, or any factor protected by law.

The Committee will notify applicants in writing of acceptance decisions.
