Current Students

Department of Nurse Anesthesia Code of Conduct

With input from both students and faculty, the following guidelines were established to form a “Code of Conduct” for members of the RFU Nurse Anesthesia community:

• Define what professionalism means to you--it must include behaviors in both didactic and the clinical arena

• You never get a second chance to make a great first impression -- be mindful about what you say to students outside of our program because it could set the tone for how they view our profession as nurses and CRNAs in the future.

• Stay positive.

• Be inclusive: Competition between classmates is not acceptable.

• Be open, honest, and considerate when dealing with classmates.

• Do not harass: Harassment includes (but not limited to) mockery or defaming comments to classmates or faculty about another classmate, and/or comments based on religion, race, sex, socioeconomic status, academic status, or disability.

• Competition is only with self--not with your other teammates.

• Be kind to each other. You all will be together for 36 months. Being kind to each other can greatly decrease the stress of the program.

• Be humble. (all of you are the best of the best. Understand that anesthesia school is a new journey)
