Our students, faculty, and clinical partners have been busy in the SETH Lab practicing advanced skills!

Recent labs have included neuraxial anesthesia and central line insertion, POCUS and gastric ultrasound assessment, and teaching critical airway management skills to our Physician Assistant student colleagues.

A huge thank you to our clinical partners, faculty, and even our senior students who helped make these important skills labs possible! Hands-on simulation is vital to building competency and confidence in our SRNAs, and we are so grateful for your time, expertise, and continued collaboration with our program.

Tomorrow marks an exciting milestone as our newest nurse anesthesia students begin their clinical rotations.

May they enter each setting with calm minds, eager hearts, and the confidence that comes from diligent preparation. We pray that God continues to strengthen their knowledge, sharpen their skills, and guide every decision they make as they care for patients.

Their hands have been blessed as a reminder that the work they do is more than a profession—it is a calling to serve with compassion, excellence, and humility.

Please join us in praying for our students as they begin this incredible journey. We know they will make us proud!

Learning, serving, and inspiring future healthcare heroes:

As part of a service-learning project, FranU Nurse Anesthesia Class of 2026 students partnered with Highland Elementary School to host the fifth annual Little Wolf Clinic, an interactive healthcare experience for local students.

The “clinic” featured hands-on stations where children learned about doctor visits, surgery and anesthesia, germs and proper handwashing, X-rays, anatomy, medical supplies, getting shots, and common medical exam equipment. Through play, exploration, and education, students gained a better understanding of healthcare while helping reduce fears associated with medical visits.

We are proud of our Class of 2026 students for sharing their knowledge, serving our community, and making a positive impact on the next generation!
