Stories About CRNAs
The AANA Public Relations department is continuously working to share the stories of Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) and bringing CRNAs the national recognition they deserve. The work of CRNAs before and during the COVID-19 pandemic exemplifies the many hallmarks of nursing and nurse anesthesia, and points to why nurses are continuously rated the most honest, ethical profession. Below are the latest stories featuring the direct work of CRNAs on the frontlines of care.
