Although this is not an all-inclusive list, Keiser University believes the following qualifications represent some of the reasonable physical and intellectual requirements necessary to perform safely in both the educational program and profession of nurse anesthesia:
Observation and Communication
Motor
Cognitive
Behavior
Keiser University requires that all students enrolled in the Nurse Anesthesia Program must participate in the accident & health insurance program sponsored by the university, unless proof of comparable coverage is documented each year.
Please review your current coverage to be sure you are adequately covered. For those having adequate coverage, you will need to waive out of the Keiser University Student Health Plan. Many students have insurance coverage under their parent's or spouse's plan. If that plan is a managed care type plan, providing benefits through certain network providers, the student should determine what benefits will be available in the vicinity of the school.
The health insurance information can be accessed at: http://www.insuranceforstudents.com/kunaples.
Keiser University will facilitate Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist’s (SRNA) purchase of medical malpractice insurance in the amount of $1,000,000/ $6,000,000 (per occurrence/aggregate) prior to their clinical practicum assignment. The medical malpractice insurance must be kept active for the duration of the program.
Criminal background checks will be conducted before, during and after matriculation. The university reserves the right to deny an application. Additionally, should the student become involved in criminal activity after program acceptance, in which the initial criminal background clearance status becomes compromised, the student will be withdrawn from the program. The program and the university will not modify the curriculum for students who have an unsatisfactory criminal background status.
All students must complete both a criminal background and drug screen checks. A student may encounter potential problems with completing clinical practice placements and/or obtaining licensure and certification if he or she has a criminal record. For specific information, contact the Board of Nursing through its website. If a student has a criminal record, it is the student’s responsibility to inquire with the Board of Nursing and certification/credentialing body as to whether a criminal record may limit the student's ability to obtain licensure and/or certification or to practice in certain settings. Additionally, students must disclose any criminal record /prior arrest to the admissions committee. The criminal record may disqualify an applicant for admissions.
All applicants must affirm and attest to sound physical health, emotional stability, and personal integrity that will enable them to successfully complete the educational program and to comply with criteria for nursing licensure and adherence to American Association of Nurse Anesthetist's professional codes of conduct and practice. Applicants must affirm and attest that they are free of addiction to substances of abuse, are not restricted in their practice of nursing or under investigation by any Board of Nursing, and are willing to adhere to Drug Free Workplace policies and procedures of affiliate clinical training sites, to include submission to randomized drug testing and/or testing for cause and upon Program demand.
Students should notify Keiser University of any change in health status, if it may inhibit his/her ability, to participate in the program.
Many drugs alter one’s physical and mental status, and optimal physical and mental status is crucial during the provision of anesthesia. Students may be screened for drugs and alcohol at any time they are committed to either clinical or classroom assignments. All students involved in medication errors and narcotic discrepancies will be required to submit to a drug screen at their own expense. Students should be aware that if they are found to test positive for any prohibited substance or for alcohol, they may be subject to disciplinary action at the discretion of the Program Director. All students must be aware that taking any drug may impair the ability to safely participate in their education, including the safe administration of anesthesia in the clinical environment.
