FIRST EDITION

Welcome to the first edition of The Anesthesia Circuit published by the Union

University Nurse Anesthesia Track. The Anesthesia Circuit will be a biannual

publication to keep our alumni, students, and friends updated in the

happen-ings within our program. Our vision for this publication is to inform the

anes-thesia community of the events and education at Union University as well as

keep the anesthesia community informed of the current anesthesia

environ-ment as a whole.

We welcome any announcements, personal news, article ideas, or job

adver-tisements to share with readers. Such items can be emailed to Dr. Melissa

Lefave at mlefave@uu.edu.

Most importantly, our prayer at Union is that we reflect Christ in all things and

love one another. If you have a personal prayer request that you would like the

faculty and staff of the nurse anesthesia program to pray for, please submit

those as well to Dr. Lefave. Of course, these will not be published, but we

would be honored to lift your requests up in prayer.

2015 Nurse Anesthesia Mission Trip: Dominican Republic

10 Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. 11 If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. I Peter 4:10-11

The nurse anesthesia program at Union University has been involved in annual mission trips to the Dominican Republic since January of 2007. Dr. Wright, Dr. Yearwood, Dr. Lefave, ten junior nurse anesthesia students, and two CRNAs from the community continued this mission work January 26-30, 2015. Through partnership with SCORE International (Sharing Christ our Redeemer Enterprises) and a medical team from North Carolina, team members were able to help meet the medical needs of over 400 patients. Most importantly, the gospel of Jesus Christ was shared with the Dominican people, and our team members were able to experience the true meaning of being the hands and feet of Christ.

Union Nurse

Anesthesia Faculty Attended ASF in New Orleans

The Assembly of School Faculty is the only forum that brings nurse anesthesia educators from around the country together in one place to discuss the new and ongoing needs of faculty and the students they serve.

ASSEMBLY OF SCHOOL FACULTY

MID-YEAR ASSEMBLY

Join us at this year's AANA Mid-Year Assembly. You'll learn more about the legislative issues affect-ing Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists and how to advocate for our profession on Capitol Hill. In interactive workshops and sessions, you'll gain an understanding of the governmental and regulatory process, and be prepared and energized to meet with Senators, Representatives and their staff.

The Mid-Year Assembly is open to all CRNAs and student registered nurse anesthetists interested in making change related to CRNA practice and pro-fessional advocacy. Register at aana.com.

We are now following up our initial fundraising efforts with a campaign to raise an estimated $3.5 million to open the doors of the Union University library.

LIBRARY CONSTRUCTION

Thanks to the emergence of internet-based tools and improved technologies, infor-mation sharing among sources and schol-ars around the globe is both immediate and extensive. Students are more apt to study out loud in small groups rather than alone at a table.

At universities across the country, older facilities have been retrofitted for technol-ogy and group study rooms. Union Univer-sity has a rare opportunity to build — from the ground up — a library tailored to 21st-century specifications.

The Latimer Foundation, our visionary lead donor, has committed half of the total cost (up to $11.5 million) toward this excit-ing buildexcit-ing project. Approximately 700 other individuals and families have joined the giving effort. Many of these donors have been faithfully contributing each month on a regular basis.

Planning has begun for Union Homecoming 2015 that will be held on November 6-7, 2015. Our program would like to have feedback from those interested in attending a reception for the alumni of the nurse anesthesia program. If you are interested, please email Dr. Lefave at mlefave@uu.edu.

POST-MASTER’S DOCTOR OF NURSING PRACTICE

As the acuity level of surgical patients increases and the complexity of the practice continues to demand more of the nurse anesthetist,

additional knowledge and skills are being required to serve as a leader in both the operating room suite and within one's practice. To address these growing demands upon the nurse anesthetist, both full-time (2 years) and part-time (3 years) Post-Master's DNP Programs are available to enhance your effectiveness as a practitioner and leader in the

profession of nurse anesthesia.
