Samford University’s Ida V. Moffett School of Nursing presented master of science in nursing hoods to 22 nurse anesthesia graduate students in a ceremony marking the completion of their anesthesia education program Oct. 10.
The graduates are now eligible to sit for the national Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) exam.
Mary E. Boyer received the Agatha Hodgins Award as the outstanding student scholar in the class.
Cynthia S. Bass received the Resa Culpepper Award given for student professionalism.
The Hodges Chapel ceremony marked Samford’s fourth graduating class of nurse anesthetists since the start of the program in 2002.
The 28-month course of study was developed to help meet a critical national need for CRNAs.
Mary C. Karlet is chair of the nurse anesthesia department in the nursing school.
